Hey @0250902109

Would you be able to drop a snipped of your view, i.e what object is that's being passed to the template.

Cheers.

someone managed to fix this?

when adding the tag {% ratings object %} in the template, it throws this error

Hi @shavakano, would you be able to give us a snippet of your view, the bit that's passing object into the template context?

At first glance we'd thought people might be passing in the wrong type of object, but given this keeps coming up it must either be a bug or gap in the documentation - but we can't recreate it ourselves here, so will need someone to share their code to dig into this any further.

when adding the tag {% ratings object %} in the template, it throws this error

disable STAR_RATINGS_OBJECT_ID_PATTERN = '[a-z0-9]{32}'

and it'll fix the issue.

I found the solution. The issue is a documentation issue.

You are required to set the object parameter in the {% rating object %} on the template.

I have the smae issue and am wondering how you could have gone about it. I also wanted to extend my Ratings model, do i have to import AbstractBaseRating from star_rating and if so kindly guide
