Hi Mat, Before I dive into the response, consider tobibeer/rate <http://tobibeer.github.io/tw5-plugins/#rate> for you to rate things like movies or recipes in your own collections or to set flags, e.g. some progress.
Apropo Tobias' New Plugin: tobibeer/rate ★★★★★ > <https://groups.google.com/forum/#!topic/tiddlywiki/5ja_NXlGSaA> I'm > wondering if anybody has any way to store a visitors rating without needing > your own server? > I'm afraid not. It would require at least some new action-widget capable to post some content to some server... which can later be talked to to retrieve votes. Perhaps you know of such a service that can be plugged. And specifically; could e.g Tobias' plugin be used on a *TiddlySpot *site > and let visitors rate things (and after have an average calculated)? Or > possibly a Github hosted TW instead of TiddlySpot. > The hosting barely matters, unless github or tiddlyspot had some rating API to hook into... which neither have. Just maybe there's some way to actually store the rating *externally *and > also retrieve if rom there - e.g in my Google Drive or Dropbox? > Same problem: you'd need some sophisticated form to push the rating to google forms. I wouldn't know if you can simply display spreadsheet data on any site. I imagine you cannot. Of course, if that would work it would probably not be limited to storing > ratings, but I'm thinking that ratings is a very small amount of info so > jus tmaybe there's some free service that offers this... somehow.... or is > it just not possible...? > There is quite probably also that huge cross-domain issue where we can't talk to some other server in the context of TiddlySpot or GitHub just like that. > (...and if more than a measly star rate could be stored we could really > open up for cool stuff with votings and comments and... But I'll settle for > a measly star right now ;-) > I remember similar questions remaining unanswered when I created rating macros for TW2 <http://lastfm.tiddlyspot.com/#RatingMacroInfo>. In any case, the architecture of that will be quite something else than what tobibeer/rate <http://tobibeer.github.io/tw5-plugins/#rate> does atm.
