ACF Rating Field

ACF Rating Field is a Wordpress plugin adding a new ACF field to manage ratings with decimal numbers. The default rating symbol is a star ("★") but it can be customised.

Here are examples for a rating of 3.6 out of 5:

Installation

• Download the latest version on GitHub.

• Extract the archive and copy the folder (acf-rating-field) to the Wordpress plugins folder (/wp-content/plugins/).

• Go to the Wordpress plugins manager on your website (your-website.ext/wp-admin/plugins.php) and enable the plugin ACF Rating Field. Note that you can enable auto-updates.

Usage

Admin

Go to the ACF administration page (your-website.ext/wp-admin/edit.php?post_type=acf-field-group), add a new field group and choose the field Rating:

Change the field settings as needed.

Front-end

To display the field value, the shortcode acf_rating_field can be used. By default, it'll look at custom fields for the current post where the shortcode is added. For example, the following shortcode:

[acf_rating_field name="FIELD_NAME"]

is the same as this one:

[acf_rating_field name="FIELD_NAME" type="post"]

To get the field value from another post, use the attribute id:

[acf_rating_field name="FIELD_NAME" id="POST_ID"]

If the rating field is linked to a user, set the type user in the shortcode. By default, it'll look at custom fields for the current user:

[acf_rating_field name="FIELD_NAME" type="user"]

To specify a specific user, set the attribute id:

[acf_rating_field name="FIELD_NAME" type="user" id="USER_ID"]
