About scORE!
From the official readme · v1Description
scORE! is a WordPress plug-in you can use to publish scores easily for each post entry.
This plugin is based on Carles Company Soler’s “punts” plugin, with changes and additions to make the plugin elements more usable and less intimidating for new WordPress users, as well as to better separate the presentation layer (the CSS stuff) from the data processing parts.
Plugin Name
scORE! Score-keeping plugin.
Thank You
To Melline Jaini, who perked and invested on the idea of publishing movie reviews. This plugin would not exist without her.
To Carles Company Soler, who developed the first “punts”. His plug-in was the only one on the wordpress.org website to allow posting of scores. Others were developed so that posts can be rated, instead of the post writer to publish his/her opinions.
To my girlfriend, who has endured so much of me being mentally absent at times, even though I spend a lot of time close to her.
To the WordPress core team. Thank you for developing such a great blogging platform!
Installation
Installation instructions:
- Copy the scORE directory to wp-content/plugins.
- Activate the plugin in the admin interface.
- Implement the class “scORE_display” on your WordPress template’s CSS file (optional)
Here’s a sample CSS entry:
/* scORE class */
.scORE_display
{
border:2px black solid;
color:#FF0000;
font-size:x-large;
font-weight:bold;
margin-top:3px;
margin-bottom:15px;
text-align:center;
padding:5px;
width:150px;
}
Just copy and paste this to the end of the template’s CSS file. You can, of course, experiment with the CSS attributes and see what happens.
