Hi there!!!
I am trying to build a rating bar (not a progress bar)like the one you see on the picture but I can’t find a way!!! Does anyone know how to build one that can be linked to my database so it automatically gives information about a subject in a visual way based on the numeric scale that I have created?
Thank you!
Hi there, @riverogonzalez.isaac… it’s hard (for me at least) to understand what the image you included is supposed to be showing. Can you give an example with actual data to make it clear what “rating bar” means and what the rating is supposed to represent?
Best…

I’m sure there may be others, but I use the Star Rating plug-in. It’s not a bar, but I think it does what you are looking for…kind of.
Oh, geez. I was looking at the image as a whole and thinking it was one “rating” (whatever that might have meant), and I was confused as hell (and now it turns out I was just being an idiot… although, in my defense, a bit more context in the image would have helped). If it’s just like a star rating but in bar form, then like @firstfifteensoftware said, you might want to look for a plugin that does something similar.
You could also consider using Bubble’s progress bar plugin… and yes, I know you said it’s not a progress bar, but that plugin could be used to do something very similar to (if not pretty much exactly the same as) what you are showing in the image (if we are now interpreting it correctly as nothing more than a star rating in the form of a bar).
Thank you all for the answer!
I have actually tried to use the progress bar but I cannot connect it to my data base. To give you an example, I have created a range for the number of hospitals in a neighborhood from 1 to 10 where 1 is the lowest and 10 the highest . I would like the progress bar to be connected to the database so that if the score was a 10 the bar would go green but I can’t seem to connect it to my database and it’s driving me crazy!
I have tried to use the star rating plugins but I don’t like the result…
I hope I have expressed myself well because it is a bit complicated to explain! 
Thanks!
It should be dead simple (you’ve already stated how to do it… i.e. when the score is 10 change the colour to green)…
What exactly are you having trouble with connecting it to your database?
Yup, like Adam said, it should be quite simple. Set the progress bar to the neighborhood’s rating / 10 * 100, and you should be good to go.
You say you have a range from 1 to 10 for a hospital, and you want that range reflected in a progress bar, right?
Here is the progress bar I just placed in a repeating group:
Here is the “code” i have to associate the bar’s percentage with a particular score value I have stored:
…and adding this code to the progress bar:
…gets me this on my screen:
Does that help at all?
I hate it when the answer to the problem is so easy… I can’t believe I didn’t come up with the solution…
Thank you all for the help!!
Have a wonderful day!
