FAQ about Ratings

1. How do I reset ratings/scores on a page?

You cannot reset an existing rating or score counter. However, you can assign a path attribute with a unique value to the ratings on a page, and this will create a different instance of ratings/scores:

<div class="js-kit-rating" path="/unique/new/path/"></div>
2. My item has received plenty of ratings/scores, but it does not show up in the Top or Hot tabs under the (i) button. What is wrong?

To participate in mini-navigator's (the "(i) button") output, the Ratings widget needs to have all path, permalink and title attributes to be defined:

<div class="js-kit-rating" path="/unique/item/id/"
     permalink="http://mysite.com/permanent/link/to/page.html"
     title="My Item's Title"></div>
