hi, sorry for the late response.

Yes! that is exactly what I mean.

Parameter: Default Star Rating
Description: The selected number of stars will be shown, if item has not been rated yet

Hi,
++ for "default rating" enhancement request.

it is also possible to do this without the FE/BE feature - by editing the #__content_rating table. Disclaimer - use this only if you know what you're doing:
1) get item id from URL or from Flexicontent items dashboard (the column in the far right)
2) connect to the joomla DB. For example on Bitnami joomla you will need to configure putty tunnel first as the access is restricted to localhost only
3) execute the following SQL statement:

Code:

INSERT INTO bitnami_joomla.jos_content_rating(content_id, rating_sum, rating_count, lastip) 
values (<your_id_from_step1>, <desired_vote>, <number_of_votes-1_looks_lame>, "<your_ip>");

cheers

Tasks
- allow configuring default value for unrated items (configurable inside the field)
- value will not only be diplayed but it will be also part of the query for the purpose of ordering items too
- allow configuring a default label for custom message for unrated items, e.g. "Not enough ratings yet"
- examine adding custom layout for voting field display
