Download Rating

How can you enable rating without downloading the files? So that users can rate between 1 to 5 stars?

That's for review and not rating bud. I don't want users to review the file but just rate it i.e. stars 1 to 5 depending on their like and dislike.

You can’t. As you already know, Downloads doesn’t use Ratings system. It uses the Reviews instead.

In 4.5.x we where able to rate it. Only with 4.6, this rating system was disabled.

Are you sure? IPS does the same in all other apps: the stars comes from reviews if the app supports it. Only Forums has Ratings. 

But that’s me… I’ll try this in a 4.5 install.

I think you're wrong. File model doesn't extends \IPS\Content\Ratings as Topic model does. "Stars ratings" in Downloads is tied to the rating system.

The only app, AFAIK, that allows use both system is Pages in database records. Still, Ratings won't work if you allow Reviews in the DB.

No. Rating also works for Blogs and if I enable Reviews, rating works fine. 😞
