star_rating

This is a Liquid Filter that will display a rating as a series of nought to five star images. It was originally developed for use with Jekyll and therefore the following instructions relate to that.

Installation

1. Copy star_rating.filter.rb to your _plugins directory.
2. Copy the contents of images to your images directory.

Configuration

If you want to put the images in an alternative directory then you will need to alter Star_imagesLoc in star_rating.filter.rb to point to the correct location.

How to use it

If you had a variable such as page.rating then you could put {{ page.rating|star_rating }} in your text and the relevant number of images would be displayed.

Example/Testing

To see this working run jekyll --server in the root directory of this repository and point your browser to http://localhost:4000
