K2 Rating on Google was created by Goble002

Hello,

I've searched a bit on the forum but the related posts are a bit old.

Running K2 2.7.1 with template override. Is there actually a plugin that can be used to get Rating Value for Google Mircrodata ?

Or else, is there already some specific codes out there which I can use ?

Thanks !

Hi and thanks,

I read this post before. However some people reported having issues with their codes, I was wondering if you have one that works for sure.

P.S. Am not a PHP coder.

I have tested the code, it should work fine.
The complaints were that the reviews code should be used, instead.
The rating microdata is however correct.

<?php if($params->get('itemRating')): ?>
         <div itemprop="aggregateRating" itemscope itemtype="http://schema.org/AggregateRating" class="itemRatingBlock">

There are different settings for reviews and different for ratings.
Have you posted the code in your site so I can take a look?

Hello,

The correct parameter statement should be:

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemRating')): ?>

Thanks,

Hello Krikor,

The link: www.webs800.com/en/services/web-development/web-design-maintenance

I just noticed that I wrongly pasted the code last time which made me thought that were no more errors (sometimes errors seem to occur when you copy large amount of codes in template overrides).

Anyway with the code hereunder, it will just break the layout of my page. So I reverted back to the codes without microdata.

	<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemRating')): ?>
	<!-- Item Rating -->
	<div class="itemRatingBlock">
		<span><?php echo JText::_('K2_RATE_THIS_ITEM'); ?></span>
		<div class="itemRatingForm">
			<ul class="itemRatingList">
				<li class="itemCurrentRating" id="itemCurrentRating<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" style="width:<?php echo $this->item->votingPercentage; ?>%;"></li>
				<li><a href="#" data-id="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('K2_1_STAR_OUT_OF_5'); ?>" class="one-star">1</a></li>
				<li><a href="#" data-id="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('K2_2_STARS_OUT_OF_5'); ?>" class="two-stars">2</a></li>
				<li><a href="#" data-id="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('K2_3_STARS_OUT_OF_5'); ?>" class="three-stars">3</a></li>
				<li><a href="#" data-id="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('K2_4_STARS_OUT_OF_5'); ?>" class="four-stars">4</a></li>
				<li><a href="#" data-id="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('K2_5_STARS_OUT_OF_5'); ?>" class="five-stars">5</a></li>
			</ul>
			<div id="itemRatingLog<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" class="itemRatingLog"><?php echo $this->item->numOfvotes; ?></div>
			<div class="clr"></div>
		</div>
		<div class="clr"></div>
	</div>
	<?php endif; ?>

With this code also Structured Data Testing Tool says: The review has no reviewed item specified.

So I have also tried with

<span itemprop="itemreviewed"><?php echo JText::_('K2_RATE_THIS_ITEM'); ?></span>

instead but no change

Viewing www.webs800.com/en/services/web-development/web-design-maintenance 's source and I could not find any other structured data (itemprop).

There is an example here with more complete code, but only try the itemprop values not the PHP part.

Hello Krikor and thanks,

like mentioned the code was breaking my layout so I had to remove it. I have made a copy of the website and use the code here:
www.webs800.com/webs801/en/services/web-development/web-design-maintenance

In the link you sent, there are no: itemprop="itemreviewed"
This is what is missing as per Google Structured Data Testing Tool

Thanks again for your help !

It is not that simple, the ratings code belong to an object (structured data entity)
If the object is not defined, which in this case is the article, the rating code will not be picked up.
