There is a plugin WP-PostRatings , which allows you to bring the stars of vote for an article. To the site where it is installed, raids began to make and mallerably to put a variety of articles. I thought and decided to add a functionality so that the message was displayed when inserting the unit, and the score was not counted. As a result, the WP-PostRatings.php file initially had such a code:

### Function: Process Ratings
Add_action ('WP_AJAX_POSTRATings', 'Process_ratings');
Add_action ('WP_AJAX_NOPRIV_POSTRATINGS', 'Process_ratings');
FUNCTION PROCESS_RATINGS () {
  Global $ WPDB, $ user_identity, $ user_id;
  If (isset ($ _ request ['action']) & amp; & amp; $ _request ['action'] == 'PostRatings')
  {
    $ raate = intval ($ _ request ['rate']);
    $ post_id = intval ($ _ request ['pid']);
    // Verify Referer.
    If (! check_ajax_referer ('postratings _'. $ post_id .'- NONCE ',' PostRatings _ '. $ Post_id .'_ Nonce', False))
    {
      ESC_HTML_E ('Failed to Verify Referrer', 'WP-PostRatings');
      exit ();
    }
    if ($ rate & gt; 0 & amp; & amp; $ post_id & gt; 0 & amp; & amp; check_allowtorate ()) {
      // Check for Bot
      $ bots_useragent = Array ('googleBot', 'google', 'msnbot', 'ia_archiver', 'lycos',' jeeves', 'scooter', 'fast-webcrawler', 'slurp @ inktomi', 'turnitinbot', ' TECHNORATI ',' YAHOO ',' FINDEXA ',' FINDLINKS ',' GAISBO ',' ZYBORG ',' SURVEYBOT ',' BLOGLINES ',' BLOGSEARCH ',' UBSUB ',' SYNDIC8 ',' Userland ',' Gigabot ' , 'become.com');
      $ useRegent = $ _Server ['http_user_agent'];
      Foreach ($ Bots_useragent AS $ Bot) {
        if (STRISTR ($ USERAGENT, $ Bot)! == FALSE) {
          Return;
        }
      }
      Header ('Content-Type: text / html; charset ='. get_option ('blog_charset'));
      $ rated = check_rated ($ post_id);
      // Check Whether Post Has Been Rated by User
      if (! $ rated) {
        // Check Whether Is There A Valid Post
        $ post = get_post ($ post_id);
        // IF Valid Post Then We Rate It
        if ($ post & amp; & amp;! WP_IS_POST_Revision ($ Post)) {
          $ ratings_max = intval (get_option ('postratings_max'));
          $ ratings_custom = intval (get_option ('postratings_customrating'));
          $ Ratings_Value = Get_Option ('PostRatings_RatingsValue');
          $ post_title = addslashes ($ post- & gt; post_title);
          $ post_ratings = get_post_custom ($ post_id);
          $ post_ratings_users =! Empty ($ post_ratings ['ratings_users'])? INTVAL ($ post_ratings ['ratings_users'] [0]): 0;
          $ post_ratings_score =! Empty ($ post_ratings ['ratings_score'])? INTVAL ($ post_ratings ['ratings_score'] [0]): 0;
          // Check for Ratings Lesser Than 1 and Greater than $ Ratings_max
          if ($ rate & lt; 1 || $ rate & gt; $ ratings_max) {
            $ rate = 0;
          }
          $ post_ratings_users = ($ post_ratings_users + 1);
          $ post_ratings_score = ($ post_ratings_score + intval ($ ratings_value [$ raate-1]));
          $ Post_ratings_AVerage = Round ($ post_ratings_score / $ post_ratings_users, 2);
          update_post_meta ($ post_id, 'ratings_users', $ post_ratings_users);
          Update_Post_Meta ($ post_id, 'ratings_score', $ post_ratings_score);
          update_post_meta ($ post_id, 'ratings_average', $ post_ratings_averge);
          // Add Log.
          If (! Empty ($ User_identity)) {
            $ rate_user = addslashes ($ user_identity);
          } elseif (! Empty ($ _ cookie ['COMMENT_AUTHOR _'. Cookiehash])) {
            $ Rate_user = addslashes ($ _ cookie ['COMMENT_AUTHOR _'. Cookiehash]);
          } else {
            $ rate_user = __ ('Guest', 'WP-PostRatings');
          }
          $ RATE_USER = Apply_Filters ('WP_POSTRATINGS_PROCESS_RATINGS_USER', $ RATE_USER); 
$ Rate_userid = Apply_Filters ('WP_POSTRATINGS_PROCESS_RATINGS_USERID', INTVAL ($ user_id));
          // Only Create Cookie IF User Choose Logging Method 1 OR 3
          $ postratings_logging_method = intval (get_option ('postratings_logging_method'));
          if ($ postratings_logging_method == 1 || $ postratings_logging_method == 3) {
            $ Rate_Cookie = Setcookie ("Rated _". $ post_id, $ ratings_value [$ rate-1], Apply_Filters ('WP_POSTRATINGS_COOKIE_EXPIRATION', (TIME () + 30000000)), Apply_Filters ('WP_POSTRATINGS_COOKIPATH', SITECOOKIEPATH));
          }
          // Log Ratings No Matter What
          $ rate_log = $ wpdb- & gt; query ($ WPDB- & GT; Prepare ("INSERT INTO {$ WPDB- & GT; Ratings} Values ​​(% d,% d,% S,% d,% d,% s,% s ,% s,% d) ", 0, $ post_id, $ post_title, $ ratings_value [$ rate-1], current_time ('timestamp'), get_ipaddress (), @GethostByaddr (get_iPaddress ()), $ rate_user, $ rate_userid ));
          // Allow Other Plugins to Hook WHEN A POST IS RATED
          do_action ('rate_post', $ rate_userid, $ post_id, $ ratings_value [$ raate-1]);
          // Output Ajax Result
          echo the_ratings_results ($ post_id, $ post_ratings_users, $ post_ratings_score, $ post_ratings_averge);
          exit ();
        } else {
          PrintF (ESC_HTML __ ('Invalid Post ID (#% S).', 'WP-PostRatings'), $ post_id);
          exit ();
        } // End if ($ post)
      } else {
        Printf (ESC_HTML __ ('You Had Already Rated This Post. POST ID #% s.', 'WP-PostRatings'), $ post_id);
        exit ();
      } // End if (! $ Rated)
    } // End if ($ rate & amp; & amp; $ post_id & amp; & amp; check_allowtorate ())
  } // END if (ISSET ($ _ Request [Action ']) & amp; & amp; $ _request [' action '] ==' postratings')
}

I modified it in this way:

... ttp_user_agent '];
        Foreach ($ Bots_useragent AS $ Bot) {
          if (STRISTR ($ USERAGENT, $ Bot)! == FALSE) {
            Return;
          }
        }
if ($ RATE & LT; 2) {
        Printf (__ ('& lt; span class = "Mess" & gt; & lt; strong & gt; write in the comments why the article deserves units. We will improve it. & lt; / strong & gt; & lt; / span & gt;'), $ post_id);
        exit ();
      }
        Header ('Content-Type: text / html; charset ='. get_option ('blog_charset'));
        $ rated = check_rated ($ post_id);
        // Check Whether POST ...

Message is displayed. But I think that I did not quite correctly formed the line of the output, because For the text specified in it, a priori no translation.
And in general, did I not violate the functionality? In tests, everything seems to work as needed …

Answer 1

The functionality you did not violate. There is a translation, there is no it – it does not affect anything. In addition to the translation itself.
