Wordpress - GD Star Rating - Set Rating after wp_insert_post - wordpress

Question

is it possbile to rate the new post (with admin account) after this?
$post_id = wp_insert_post( $my_post, $wp_error );

Answer 1

According to this post of the Wordpress support forum, what you should do is something like this:
function set_rating($post_id, $vote) { // $vote = 0..10
$admin = get_user_by('login', 'admin');
if ($admin !== false) {
$ip = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
$ua = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
gdsrBlgDB::save_vote($post_id, $admin->ID, $ip, $ua, $vote);
}
return $admin;
}

Answer 2

You need to add a hook after that happens. First write a function and then this:
add_action('wp_insert_post', 'set_star_rating');
function set_star_rating() {
global $post;
$post = ...
}
There is also save_posts hook which happens while you're saving the post and is better documented.

Answer 3

This may be useful for doing some custom development based on GD Star Rating Plugin. Find my functions to 'save post like', to get 'like count for a post' and to 'check whether current user liked a post'. This is working for custom Post Types as well.
/**
* Function to save post like
* #param type $post_id
* #param type $user_id
*/
function save_post_like($post_id, $user_id) {
$ip = $_SERVER['SERVER_ADDR'];
$ua = $_SERVER['HTTP_USER_AGENT'];
if(has_user_liked_post($post_id) == 0)
gdsrBlgDB::save_vote_thumb($post_id, $user_id, $ip, $ua, 1);
}
/**
* Function to check if user like the post
* #global type $wpdb
* #global type $table_prefix
* #param type $post_id
* #return type
*/
function has_user_liked_post($post_id) {
global $wpdb, $table_prefix;
$userdata = wp_get_current_user();
$user_id = is_object($userdata) ? $userdata->ID : 0;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $table_prefix . "gdsr_votes_log WHERE vote_type = 'artthumb' AND id = " . $post_id . " AND user_id = " . $user_id;
$results = $wpdb->get_row($sql, OBJECT);
if (count($results))
return 1;
else
return 0;
}
/**
* Function to get total Likes of a Post
* #global type $wpdb
* #global type $table_prefix
* #param type $post_id
* #return type
*/
function get_post_like_count($post_id) {
global $wpdb, $table_prefix;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . $table_prefix . "gdsr_data_article WHERE post_id = " . $post_id;
$results = $wpdb->get_row($sql, OBJECT);
if (count($results))
return $results->user_recc_plus;
else
return 0;
}
