Drupal 8+
The 8.x-2.x branch provides, among other, the following features:
- Multiple rate widgets on a single entity possible
- Single rate widget on multiple entities possible
- Voting on comments and other entity types
- Result functions per widget/entity combination and entity summary (multiple widgets)
- Customizable result summary (twig-template)
- Up/down (number up/down, thumbs up/down, yes/no) voting
- Fivestar voting (can determine number of stars) and Emotion widget
- Voting Results tab for nodes
- Voting via AJAX only
- Undoing votes by clicking on the voted option
- Widget label, description and result summary customizable
- Position of label, description, result summary (relative to widget or hidden)
- Disable widget (Read-only widget) based on permission, rollover, user setting
- Vote rollover for registered and anonymous users
- Voting deadline field in the voted entity (locking the widget if date passed)
- Views integration - just add a field holding the ID of the entity to vote and the rate widget (with customizable display)
The new rate API offers several hooks to override rate option values and data, create custom templates or have a custom workflow to determine, whether a user can cast a vote or not.
Upgrading from 7.x
The 8.2 version supports migration from Rate 7.x. Since D7 end-of-life is scheduled for Nov 2022, it is a good idea to think migrating Rate 7.x. in the foreseeable future.
Upgrading from 8.x-1.x
CAUTION: There is no direct upgrade path from 8.x-1.x to 8.x-2.x, as both versions are using completely different concepts to create and store the rate widgets. You will have to recreate your custom rate widgets manually in 8.x-2.x.
Upgrading from 8.x-2.x
This upgrade is straight forward. There are no known issues so far with upgrading from 8.x-2.x.
