What I'm tryna achieve: I want the Ratings Display to show Wix Comments instead of Wix Reviews
Background: Because I’m trying to use Wix Comments as a workaround to Wix Reviews, as the latter can only be integrated with Wix Stores & not other listing types like services, properties etc
On the front end, Wix Comments is almost as feature rich as Wix Reviews. However it isn’t fully fleshed out, missing the following major func: It doesn’t natively connect to CMS, so its very difficult to view & manage comments when they accumulate. It’s stored in a separate basic page under the Wix Comments app.
Many thanks!
thanks for the response @Eitan Waxman . I couldn't find the necessary terms to achieve this connection. I feel it may be a brief solution. If you can show this here/if you plan to make a vid/stream on a solution to this, please let me know when that may be. I'll be in touch with your channel🙏
Hi Sinedstro,
The ratings display element is agnostic to which app you are using. The value is simply set as a number. You could use the comments API to get the data about a specific comment or comments and use the rating value to set the value of the ratings display. Something like:
import { comments } from "wix-comments.v2"; async function displayCommentRating() { const { items } = comments.queryComments().find(); const firstComment = items[0]; $w("#myRatingsDisplay").rating = firstComment.rating; }Hope that helps!
