I've been looking through the forums as well as the ezstarrating extension classes for a little bit now, but wanted to make sure I'm not reinventing the wheel here. I'm going the usual route of: - create object (return new object) - update via $data_map[ $key ]->fromString( $value ); - store via $data_map[ $key ]->store(); - execute content publish I've tried simply passing in an integer of the star rating (0-5) as well as a few other combinations, but so far, no dice. If anyone has done this before or has a hunch as to what kind of format in need to pass this in with I'd much appreciate a quick reply. Thanks, Ben

You can use this method. https://github.com/ezsystems/ezstarrating/blob/master/packages/ezstarrating_extension/ezextension/ezstarrating/classes/ezsrserverfunctions.php#L75
