Zhoozh up your site with RateKit star ratings!

RateKit is an easy-to-install, ultra low maintenance PHP plugin that adds intuitive ratings stars to your site. All modern desktop, mobile and tablet browsers support it. No need to install a database to save ratings: RateKit uses its own lightweight storage.

Features

  • Childishly simple 5 minute setup.
  • No need to install a database. RateKit saves ratings in PHP's tiny built-in database SQLite. No setup needed, the plugin handles it all for you. All RateKit needs is jQuery and PHP to work its magic.
  • Users can't rate the same thing more than once within a set time, unless you want them to.
  • No need to log in - just click to rate.
  • Optional Schema.org markup with rating and rating count label.
  • Supports half-star ratings.
  • Transparent background and six sizes to suit every situation.
  • The stars are made with an icon font - no messing around with Photoshop, and stars look perfect on high-res screens. Change star colour with one line of CSS.
  • Also available in German and as an extension for phpBB forums by kaspir.
