ecoal95

<p>A <strong>super fast</strong> <strong>WordPress star rating plugin</strong>, optimized for SEO, and with a really low impact on page load (just CSS + a bit of HTML, plus the strictly required JS for working).</p>
<h3>Developers</h3>
<p>The svn repo has been recently synchronized with <a href="https://github.com/ecoal95/ec-stars-rating" rel="nofollow ugc">a github one</a>.</p>
<p>Contributions are more than welcome, so feel free to submit a PR there if you wish 🙂</p>
<h3>How it works</h3>
<p>Basically we create a new table called <code>(prefix)ec_stars_votes</code>, where we store the votes of the people (to prevent duplicate votes).</p>
<p>The number of votes and the sum of the total votes are stored in the <code>(prefix)options</code> table in form of custom meta fields, one for the count, and another for the sum. Both fields get updated when someone votes.</p>
