Rate plugin - give half stars?

[W Yan]

Hi, I'm using Tobias' rate plugin right now, it's a great plugin and I think I'm going to use it a lot. I was just wondering, is there a away to give half stars? 1.5 stars, 3.5 stars etc.

 

Something like this.

I believe that is limited to the customisations documented here https://tobibeer.github.io/tw5-plugins/#rate-Examples

You can add more stars, or perhaps another symbol, but to do as you ask you would need half and other icons to appear as clickable.

There is an example of fractional stars here https://css-tricks.com/five-methods-for-five-star-ratings/ 

but it requires javascript.

I have not seen any half stars in Unicode of late.

Thank you for your reply! Indeed, half stars may not be available for unicode yet, but there seem to be ways to create half stars in css (https://jsfiddle.net/mr6o2xhv/) and ratings in pure css (https://codepen.io/redlabor/pen/wyiAH), so I think it is somewhat possible. (Although I have no idea how to implement those on TW plugins :) )

 

I was hoping someone already had a solution to it, but looks like I'm out of luck. I might have a look at how the rate plugin is structured and try to add some functions, but I'm no programmer, so I'm not sure if I would be able to make any usable changes.

 

Anyway, I appreciate your help!
