five star rating system

[mmoore5553]

How do i put a five star rating system on ? Also would like a section where only admins can put five star pics into. Well admins or mods. I have search forum but no answer . Also is there link for highest rated pictures ?

[Chuck S]

There is a highest rated pal under admin sidebar settings you can turn on.

The rating system is 1 to 10 so you cant really change that without altering the code itself.

[mmoore5553]

do you know anyone that is capable of doing this ? of course i will pay

[Chuck S]

Just try editing pp-inc.php lines 3979-3990 around

change to this that should do what you want but no support on code mods

I was looking in that area but figured somewhere in the database or code i had to change how it counts it up. I figured i had to set the count variable to 5 instead of ten.

[Chuck S]

well what I posted would be the accurate way of doing it because that is the actual rating scale thats displayed in the program.

[mmoore5553]

Okay i understand. I am wondering where i put some javascript . I looked into the header - inc.php. I am trying to get the five stars working.

[mmoore5553]

Or is it easy for me to put all the javascript and call for css in vbulletin header and then it should just the gallery will use it once i put the appropriate code in correct place.

I am not understanding really here what your looking for? I have answered your mod question. If you want users to see a 5 star rating block then altering the few lines of code I noted should do it. Users WOULD ONLY be able to pick a rating of 1-5 and thus when viewing the photo your going to see 1-5 stars not 1-10 as it is now.

[mmoore5553]

i am sorry but maybe my misunderstanding. When i see the rate photo's i see a radio button that goes 1 - 10


Here you go

cl render47 - Cg-hq Gallery



also if you go to gallery main page. I put highest rating and nothing is there when i did rate the photo's

[mmoore5553]

see this gallery by your company

CG Cars Choice Gallery - CG Cars Gallery

also see this link

3D Car Gallery - CG Cars Gallery

i was trying to get a more uniform look like that.

[Chuck S]

If you edit the function I noted in post 4 you change that rating bar to a 1-5 not 1-10 like it is by default.

That is why I dont understand you must not be doing what I stated to do.

[mmoore5553]

It has radio buttons. I have included links. It looks like photopost pro has radio buttons and not stars. Please take a look at the links i provided. The other website is using your vbgallery which by default has stars and photopost pro does not .

[mmoore5553]

Okay i think i figured out the issue. I finally got stars but i had to disable the quick rate. Then when i clicked a picture it had put stars up. But they do not display on the actual pictures unless i go for or five level deep. Also the highest rating what is the qualification to have pictures there ? I have looked for settings on that and found nothing.

thanks sorry but trying to get system down. I would love for the stars to show up before hand like the links above.

Here is link now

finally shows stars (with quick rate turned off under pictures, if left on the stars do not show, [possible bug ? as i would think if you have that enable should still show stars )

would love to have the stars show up here

Member Galleries - Cg-hq Gallery

so people can see

also the highest rating. would like to know how that works and the criteria that a picture must meet to show up there. As you see my main page does not include a pic at all. I would love to get that in a tab also.

[mmoore5553]

also was testing in the new gallery i made and ratings do not show up there yet in the edit category ratings is there ?

test - Cg-hq Gallery

How is that fixed and yes i would love the stars to show like previous post.

Maybe there is a misunderstanding on your part how things work. I will attempt to explain how things work because we do not really support code alterations. I merely posted that because it is an easy one.

when you go to rate a photo you will see a ratings bar it is suppose to be a radio bar. Whether it would have 10 or 5 ratings depends on the edit I noted to you. Your ratings are still set to 10 not 5.

You rate the actual photo.

When you view the photo the rating shows in stars like you posted here

cartoon T rex - Cg-hq Gallery

Everything appears to work fine from what I am seeing. For something to show in the highest rated you must have rated or commented on an item more than once.

[mmoore5553]

Oh i understand. Thank you. i was trying to figure out how it worked. So more than once and stars are only suppose to show on the members gallery.

So just to understand clearly

if i make a new category and put the images in that new category. I am NOT suppose to have rankings ? no radio buttons or stars on picture ?

I sorry for the question it is just confusing cause the member gallery has stars and it shows but if i make a new category it will not have the ability to have stars or the radio buttons .

Then to me why would you even have any other categories if you can not rank them ?

Usually not that dumb with code and certainly not a newbie but sorry for newbie questions.

[Chuck S]

If you view a photo someone other than you has uploaded then you should see a ratings bar to rate it. If a photo has ratings you see that rating in stars when viewing the photo.

Ratings have nothing to do with categories. The reason you dont see a ratings bar in the other category you created is because your viewing YOUR OWN PHOTO.

OMG i feel like a muppet now. HA ...i guess do not ever do test with your own account. HINT make another one to test.

As in real life you have to pay a stupid tax. PM me paypal account if you want me to pay a stupid tax. I totally understand

[Chuck S]
