External Entity Rate Module

I got the problem described here: https://drupal.org/node/1069906

Which is caused by the rate module appending the widget as HTML code rather than exposing it as a field. There are a lot of explanations on how to solve it in the thread but as a Drupal-noob I suspect that I either fail to enter the proper machine name or add the field in the wrong way.

So could someone be kind enough to give me a more idiot proof step by step guide to solve this issue?

Hi everyone, I have 2 questions really:

Has anyone tried to integrate the External Entity Rate Module into Userpoints?

http://drupal.org/project/entity_external_rating

Or second knows how to do it and is willing to share in newbie terms.

Thanks
