1- reading forum I found that it is impossible to order search results by CB ratings stars but only for hints,name etc. Do You confirm for the current CB 2.0.12 also? Is there an alternative solution? We'd like to get a rating system similar (but more simple) to Tripadvisor/Booking. Could You suggest any kind of solution?
CB 2.x has built in rating fields, which you can sort on. I've no idea if this will work for CB ProfileBook rating field though, but it's unlikely. You may want to try using a rating fieldtype instead or using Advanced sorting to sort with a custom database query to calculate their CB ProfileBook rating.
2- I plugged My Maps location from Joomunited and I'd like to integrate results from search with rating stars from Community Builder (CB rating from CB ProfileBook). I asked to Joomunited staff and They reply me:
"First of all please contact with them so ask for api they are using for rating system
any developer ducument for integration from them will help us a lot and we will implement that for you.
"
What can I do in respect to Your right about API? Is there an update document to send to Joomunited Staff?
To render a field outside of CB you need to use getFields API to retrieve the field from CB. See the below regarding this.
