What you get

• Site module "RatingStar": shows a seal or widget at any module position. Nine variants: round seal, banner, profile card (inline or floating in a corner), review bar, overall rating, quote, carousel, review wall and footer bar.
• Seal for one branch or for a whole group (all active branches).
• Per-module display options (size, width, number of reviews, colours). Every option defaults to the settings in your RatingStar account, so changes there apply without touching Joomla.
• Static image output without JavaScript for the round seal, banner and profile card.
• System plugin "System - RatingStar": site-wide settings and server-side schema.org LocalBusiness data (JSON-LD), exactly one block per page, cached for 6 hours. Only reviews submitted on RatingStar count for the aggregate rating, never reviews imported from other portals.
• Joomla update server: updates appear under System → Update → Extensions.

Requirements

• Joomla 6, PHP 8.3 or later
• A RatingStar account with a public profile (ratingstar.de). The round seal and banner work in every plan, live widgets and the data for Google stars from the 4-Star plan.

Privacy

Live seals: the visitor's browser loads seal.js, seal.css, the review data and a counting pixel from ratingstar.de. Name this server in your privacy policy and consent tool. Google stars: your web server fetches the data, the visitor's browser does not contact RatingStar. RatingStar is hosted in Germany.
