thumb up or down

[Doc Daniels]

I can't find so maybe I drempt  this but, did someone post a way to allow people thumb up/down songs in a player ?

[DJ Garybaldy]

There used to be a song rating script way back on v1.6.0 the script(s) may be on the forums somewhere if you search hard enough...

Unless someone like DJ-Jhonny posts an updated version of a song rating script...

[plauri]

That could be an interesting feature, other than allow request from listeners (I would never permit people to request a song in a radio where I have something to do! It's you that make the Radio not your listeners, it's You that select the music You think it's best for Your station not the contrary or worse, according to Record Companies), my just 2 cents

[Doc Daniels]

I thought I saw a setting or in a tracks rotation where you could control when a request plays. on e an hour may not be bad?

If that feature was in 1.6 it would not work in 2.03 right?

[DJ Garybaldy]

As I've said in another thread you have the ability to add a request to the queue via a rotation,SQL Query, or an event...

The request system only came into RadioDJ around the time of v1.6.5.0 i think.

You have various scripts around this forum that deal with requests etc...

I'm from the "Don't mind listener requests as long as they aren't silly songs" camp,  listener interaction isn't a bad thing I used to gauge playlists by what was in my request list when I used "other" software with a request system.

I tried adding 2 requests from listeners once an hour if I was doing a 4 hour show, No one is forcing you to use the request system, I just happen to think its a great addition to RadioDJ and its abilities...

[Doc Daniels]

I might be confusing you. I want the request feature and the thumb up.  I wasnt asking for a feature, just wanting more info on the topic. I looked around but am not super tech savy

Not to my knowledge.

It is possible to make a script to use on a website to allow people thumb up/down on a song.

Must it be in a player?

[PROducer]

A player is essentially a small webpage, so why not?

[Jhonny]

There is a rating column in the table songs of the database of v2, if you look on a track with track editor, only it goes to 10 max.

Think that you can not use that for ratings with a thumbs up or down, so you will need a new table (ratings) for counting the up and down on a playing track.

[DJ Garybaldy]

The old rating script went on Priority ratings if memory serves me right.

It shouldn't be to difficult to code a player with code inside it I've made small pop up boxes in the past for my website and called them Mini requesters.

[Jhonny]

Looking line this?

Looking line this?

Looks very nice 

[Jhonny]

Thanks, now coding it.

[DJ Garybaldy]

I've just been looking through website archives from years ago trying to see if I could find the old voting script and TBH all the code we had with it was in a mess...

So over to you Jhonny lets see what you can code
