Turning Planned Features into Real Value
Following the steps we outlined earlier, the Simple Rate extension has evolved to meet the needs of editors, integrators, and developers alike. The features we envisioned are no longer just ideas — they are now fully implemented and actively enhancing TYPO3 projects.
Editors now enjoy a live plugin preview directly in the backend, making it easier to visualize how ratings will appear on the frontend. No more guesswork, no more trial and error — content management has become more intuitive and efficient.
For integrators, the flexible template support offers true freedom. Multiple templates, customizable headlines, and body text allow each project to maintain its unique design language, while sorting options by rating value or submission time ensure that the display meets specific business requirements.
The backend module has also been upgraded, providing detailed insights into user activity. It is now possible to see which logged-in frontend users have rated specific items, and language tracking ensures accurate reporting for multilingual projects. Stability improvements and bug fixes further enhance reliability, making the extension a solid and trustworthy tool for any TYPO3 setup.
Delivering More Than Features
What sets Simple Rate apart is not only the functionality it offers but the thoughtful approach behind its development. Each implemented enhancement reflects a clear focus on solving real-world problems: simplifying workflows for editors, increasing flexibility for integrators, and maintaining a robust, maintainable architecture for developers.
This approach demonstrates our commitment to the TYPO3 ecosystem — not just by releasing extensions, but by building tools that genuinely improve the user experience and adapt to the evolving needs of projects.
