Description
A super fast WordPress star rating plugin, 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).
Developers
The svn repo has been recently synchronized with a github one.
Contributions are more than welcome, so feel free to submit a PR there if you wish 🙂
How it works
Basically we create a new table called (prefix)ec_stars_votes, where we store the votes of the people (to prevent duplicate votes).
The number of votes and the sum of the total votes are stored in the (prefix)options table in form of custom meta fields, one for the count, and another for the sum. Both fields get updated when someone votes.
