New Shisha Rating System

[Nima 978]

I've been planning to release a shisha rating system for some time now. Development of it took longer than I thought. There was quite a bit involved in connecting the forum software (IPS) to WordPress and then preventing duplicate ratings and then the rating system as a custom plugin.

 

 

Here is an example of the first release of it: http://www.hookah.org/social-smoke-mango-habanero/

You can see here how it looks like in category pages: http://www.hookah.org/category/reviews/tobaccos/social-smoke-tobacco-review/

 

If you have some time try submitting a few ratings for Social Smoke flavors and let me know what you think. I'd love to hear the feedback.

I was going to add a personal rating to the Arabian Nights, but it wouldn't allow me - it said I needed to be logged into the forums, which, obviously, I am.

[HookahHooligan 999]

Says the same thing for me. It's looking good though I think this will be a good addition to the site for sure. =)

[Nima 978]

Ok. Let me look into it tonight

[Nima 978]

Try it now and let me know if it works for you

Now it shows me a log in window, but when I type in my stuff it takes me to your wp-login page and says that my email/password was wrong. I dont think it was wrong though.

You have to use your email as your username. Let me know if using username works

I tried both and neither worked for me. Its possible I just forgot my password but I just downloaded the app the other day and had no problems signing into that so I don't think its me.

[Nima 978]

I tried it with two different usernames and passwords and it worked. Let's see how it works for others

[TheEightyFour 1,198]

that worked for me.  first thing: "Which taste budds does it tickle ?" should be "tastebuds."  and maybe not use the word "tickle."

 

also, i think smoke duration isn't a good test.  that really depends on so many factors - bowl type and size, coals, packing method, etc.

[TheEightyFour 1,198]

also, "how thick does it smoke?" - can we qualify this, saying 1 is best or if 5 is best?

I'll change the tastebudds word. What do you suggest instead of tickle? 

 

I know what you're saying and you're right. I also think smoke duration is important to a lot of people. So what do you suggest we do?

5 is best. I'll see how I can make that more apparent

Jen, maybe it was a cache issue for you. Can you try again after a hard refresh?

Are you user about Tastebuds instead of Taste Budds (or maybe Taste Buds) 

[HookahHooligan 999]

Sure thing. Im headed out right now but when I get back I'll refresh my cache and check again. What seems the most weird to me is that it takes me to the wp-login page, which is typically something you don't want people other than you on.

[Nima 978]

Yea. There are glitches with it. I want to allow social logins too but that seems to be too complicated right now

Hey Doug, which flavor did you rate? I'm not sure if I see your rating in the system. I want to make sure things are working right.

I didn't complete the process, mainly because I haven't had any social smoke in a while.

Ok coo.  I think I added the rating system to Al Fakher flavors too. I'll try to add it to one or two more brands tonight too

[Nima 978]

I've added the rating system to all of the flavors reviewed on our website. It be awesome if each of you guys can rate a few flavors to get it started 

 

I'll send out an email about it to all the members over the weekend too.

I try to add my rating but it says I need to be logged in to the forums, which I am. So I click on the link and go back and refresh the page, but I get the same thing. I tried it with 3 different browsers on both my macs with the same results. 

[HookahHooligan 999]

I have the same problem as DD, I cleared my cache and it made no difference. It doesn't show a log in form anymore like it used to.

[chernobyl 1,136]

Same issue here guys. Was going to slowly go through and add in any that I could

Can you try using your email and password to log in - even if you are already logged into the forum

[HookahHooligan 999]

I don't even get the option to log in. I'll post a screen cap when I get home of what happens but basically I click the link and then get forwarded to the forums where I am already logged in
