The Beer Ratings plugin allows you to display information about beers, brewers, and places to drink. This plugin uses the RateBeer API to retrieve data and you must register for a RateBeer API Key at http:\/\/www.ratebeer.com\/json\/ratebeer-api.asp.<\/p>\n\n
You can retrieve beers by brewers, best beers by style, beers available at a specific place, brewer information, place information, and beer information. You can also retrieve beer reviews, rankings, and scores.<\/p>\n\n

Please read the detailed documentation provided on the plugin's settings page.<\/p><\/dd>\n
- How do I find all of these \"ids\"?<\/dt>\n
The IDs can be found in the RateBeer.com's web site URLs. More detailed information is included in the plugin's Settings page on the Help tab.<\/p><\/dd>\n
- How do I customize the output\/display?<\/dt>\n
Each tag, such as [beerratings-beer], has three settings on the Format\/Layouts tab of the plugin settings page. These three settings are:<\/p>\n\n
\n- List Header - this HTML is prepended to the item display<\/li>\n
- List Item - this HTML is used for each item display<\/li>\n
- List Footer - this HTML is appended to the item display<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n
This means that when the tag outputs HTML, the List Header will be output first. For example, you include HTML specific tags such as \"<table><tr><th>Beer Name<\/th><th>Brewer Name<\/th><th>ABV<\/th><\/tr>\".<\/p>\n\n
Next, the List Item will be used to loop through the returned records using the specific output fields and output conditions available for that tag. For example, \"<tr><td>#_BEERNAME<\/td><td>#_BREWERNAME<\/td><td>{has_abv}#_ALCOHOL%{\/has_abv}<\/td><\/tr>\". The example format will be output for each returned record. The condition state of {has_abv} means that the inner content will only be rendered if the beer has a non-empty\/non-null value for the ABV value (#_ALCOHOL).<\/p>\n\n
Finally, the List Footer will be output last. This is where you would close any <table> or <div> tags. Using the above examples, the footer could be as sample as \"<\/table>\".<\/p><\/dd>\n\n<\/dl>\n\n\n
