CKAN Rating extension

This is a simple rating extension for CKAN datasets (packages) and showcases. The extension adds a list of clickable stars to the side navigation in the dataset and showcacse templates similar to ckanext-qa. In showcase the stars are also displayed in the showcase listing, but are not clickable.

The stars can also be added to any desired view by adding the following code to the desired template:

{% snippet "rating/snippets/stars.html", package=<YOUR_PACKAGE> %}

The amount of ratings submitted can also be displayed with:

{{h.package_rating(None, {'package_id' : <YOUR_PACKAGE>.id} ).ratings_count}}

Rating is identified with client IP if the user is not authenticated. User ID is saved with the rating when authenticated.

Requirements

This extension works with CKAN version 2.5 or later.
