afraid there is no option for enabling something like this…  however, I think you can use one of our hooks to do it… namely this one:

sph_PostIndexRatePost

its actually a filter and contains the entire post rating html before being displayed… so you could filter it and add a javascript confirmation…  over simplifying, but look for the html output by this code:

                $link = ‘style=”cursor: pointer;” onclick=”javascript:spRatingRatePost(”.$postid.”, ”.$site.”, 2);” onmouseover=”spRatingStarHover(”.$postid.”, ”.$x.”, ”.$overimg.”)” onmouseout=”spRatingStarUnhover(”.$postid.”, ”.$intrating.”, ”.$onimg.”, ”.$offimg.”)” ‘;

and add a javascript confirm statement prior to the javascript:spRatingRatePost portion of the onclick attribute…

Thanks for the suggestion.

I’m having a bit of trouble with using the filter.

$out = apply_filters(‘sph_PostIndexRatePost’, $out, $a); 

Is the $a variable required? Could you explain the usage here, or (even better) show me a simple example?

I got the confirmation to work by editing the plugin file, but obviously would prefer not to have to modify that page each time we upgrade…

Thanks,

its a wp function… see:  http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/apply_filters

basically, you are passed $out and a bunch of options context data…  you must return the $out value modified or not… the trailing arguments are provided for your use if needed…

so something like:

add_filter('sph_PostIndexRatePost', 'my_post_rating');
function my_post_rating($out) {
    $out = str_replcae('javascript:spRatingRatePost(', 'javascript:if(confirm("Do you want to rate?")) spRatingRatePost(', $out);
}

Now, that is untested, but hopefully you get the idea… search the html in the $out variable being filtered and replace it with the javascript confirm added…
