Hi guys…
I’m attempting to show the vendor feedback in a sidebar when that shop is being viewed. I’ve been able to work some of this… but now I’m stumped. I’ve almost achieved what I would like. I just wish to show the ratings with the link to the ratings page… much as you do in the PRO headers. I am customizing the FREE headers, though, and making custom sidebars for the vendors.

This is the functions.php code I have right now:

function feedback_sidebar () {
    $vendor_shop 		= urldecode( get_query_var( 'vendor_shop' ) );
    $vendor_id   		= WCV_Vendors::get_vendor_id( $vendor_shop ); 
    $vendor_feedback 	= WCVendors_Pro_Ratings_Controller::get_vendor_feedback( $vendor_id );
	$rating 		= $vf->rating;
	$stars = '';
	
	if ( $vendor_feedback ) {
	  foreach ( $vendor_feedback as $vf ) {
			
			
            for ($i = 1; $i<=stripslashes( $rating ); $i++) { $stars .= "<i class='fa fa-star'></i>"; } 
			for ($i = stripslashes( $rating ); $i<5; $i++) { $stars .=  "<i class='fa fa-star-o'></i>"; } 
			
			echo $stars;
			echo WCVendors_Pro_Ratings_Controller::ratings_link( $vendor_id, true );
		}	
	}
}  

With this is the sidebar text widget:
<p><?php feedback_sidebar (); ?></p>

When viewing the vendor shop page, the first image (help-a) is what is seen. I cannot discern what’s up with the empty star procreation and so I do not know how to fix this. The link works the the shop ratings, though…. which is good. 😉
When I click on the link, as you can see in the second image (help-b), the information in the sidebar changes — we are shown a blank shop link and avatar to the – SHOP HOME – (the link also does not work), and also the – LOCATION – disappears.

I do not now what I am doing wrong or what I need to add to what I’ve done.

I try not to bug you guys with the customization, since each site owner is going to have many things they want to do that are different, and it’s not really your place to assist us all with our tinkering.

If you have the time to take a look, though, I’d be grateful. I HAVE actually tried very hard on this one… I just am not sure what I am missing here.

Thanks for any help 🙂
