Concerning the Reviews module...

Client Joined: Jul 18, 2003 Posts: 977

I have 7.2 and I am not sure if this is the case in all versions but when you submit a review it ask for a rating from 1-10 but then when it posts said review it translates your rating into stars. 1 gives half a star and two gives a full star, 3 a star and a half so and so on. What I would like to know is there a way to modify this so that you either get 10 stars or give a rating from 1-5 which then translates into stars? Thanks.
Here is the code:

Code:

function display_score($score) {


    $image = "<img src=\"images/blue.gif\" alt=\"\">";


    $halfimage = "<img src=\"images/bluehalf.gif\" alt=\"\">";


    $full = "<img src=\"images/star.gif\" alt=\"\">";





    if ($score == 10) {


   for ($i=0; $i < 5; $i++)


       echo "$full";


    } else if ($score % 2) {


   $score -= 1;


   $score /= 2;


   for ($i=0; $i < $score; $i++)


       echo "$image";


       echo "$halfimage";


    } else {


   $score /= 2;


   for ($i=0; $i < $score; $i++)


       echo "$image";


}

I am looking at it and it makes a little sense but if anyone can help I would appreciate it.

I don't follow you exactly either you want to do away with the half stars is the idea?
So a rating of 5 = 5 stars and a rating of 10 =10 stars?

try this should work no promises so backup?

Code:




function display_score($score) {


    $image = "<img src=\"images/blue.gif\" alt=\"\">";


    $halfimage = "<img src=\"images/bluehalf.gif\" alt=\"\">";


    $full = "<img src=\"images/star.gif\" alt=\"\">";





    if ($score == 10) {


   for ($i=0; $i < 10; $i++)


       echo "$full";


    } else if ($score % 2) {


        $score = $score;


//   $score -= 1;


//   $score /= 2;


   for ($i=0; $i < $score; $i++)


       echo "$image";


    //   echo "$halfimage";


    } else {


//   $score /= 2;


   for ($i=0; $i < $score; $i++)


       echo "$image";


    }


}

That worked great! But how can I just have a 1-5 scale and 1 star for each point? Rated 1 gives 1 star rated 2 gives 2 stars all the way to five...

Just remove the 6-10 options from the form. Change the 10's to 5's in the function display_score. Should be good to go then I'd think.
