Show user's vote in his comment

Hi,

I'd like to request for a way to show what the user voted on a node, in his comments if he posts any.

Until it's properly implemented, I've done a nasty hack that would do it (it's nasty...) for anyone who's interested.

In your template.php file, add the following function (without the <?php opening and closing tags, i just put them here to make it look better )

<?php
/**
 * function to get the voting result the user did, to display it in his comments.
 *
 * @param $content_type
 *   A string identifying the type of content whose votes are being retrieved. Node, comment, aggregator item, etc.
 * @param $content_id
 *   The key ID of the content whose votes are being retrieved.
 * @param $value_type
 *   An optional int representing the type of value saved in the vote. Three standard types are defined by votingapi:
 *   'percent' -- 'Value' is a number from 0-100. The API will cache an average for all votes. 
 *   'points'  -- 'Value' is a positive or negative int. The API will cache the sum of all votes.
 *   'option'  -- 'Value' is an int representing a specific option. The API will cache a vote-count for each option.
 * @param $tag
 *   A string to separate multiple voting criteria. For example, a voting system that rates software for 'stability'
 *   and 'features' would cast two votes, each with a different tag. If none is specified, the default 'vote' tag is used.
 * @param $uid
 *   An integer that is the user's ID
 * @return
 *   A single voting result value, which is the percentage for the stars.
 */
function get_user_vote_result($content_type, $content_id, $value_type, $tag, $uid) {
	$result = db_query("
		SELECT value FROM {votingapi_vote} v 
		WHERE v.content_type='%s' 
		AND v.content_id=%d 
		AND v.value_type='%s' 
		AND v.tag='%s' 
		AND v.uid=%d", 
	$content_type, $content_id, $value_type, $tag, $uid);
  
 while ($res = db_result($result)) {
    return $res;
  }
  return 0;
}?>

Then, in your comment.tpl.php, add the following to display it.

<?php 
	// get the stars for the user
	$user_result = get_user_vote_result('node', $comment->nid, 'percent', 'vote', $comment->uid );
	print '<div class="fivestar-homepage">' . theme_fivestar_static($user_result, 5) .'</div>';
?>
