There are 8 of these with titles like Management Style and Remuneration etc.</p> <p>This is the form:<br /> <a href="http://www.jobinsider.com.au/new-review-form" rel="nofollow">http://www.jobinsider.com.au/new-review-form</a></p> <p>Once the reviews have been approved (post status changed from Draft to Published) by a moderator the results are published into a post that's attached to that company. I'd like to calculate the average score of those 8 fields and include the score in the published results.</p> <p>This is an example of the published result:<br /> <a href="http://www.jobinsider.com.au/fictional-company" rel="nofollow">http://www.jobinsider.com.au/fictional-company</a></p> <p>I'm no great shakes at PHP but I do have a developer helping us out who can help implement.</p> <p>Appreciate any help you can provide. </p>
