Can you think of a way to do this without me hacking this in for songs, videos, photos, store . . .
Next time I upgrade I'll have to redo these.
What is the Dynamic way of doing this?
I would rather leave the core files alone!
Thanks

I'd recommend not even doing it that way - try "capturing" the output from the rating.php script then use it in your theme for your stars - i.e.:

Code

<?php ob_start(); ?> {BAND_RATING_AVERAGE} <?php $rating = (int) ob_get_contents(); ob_end_clean(); if ($rating > 4) {     echo '<img src="5stars.png">'; } elseif ($rating > 3) {     echo '<img src="4stars.png">'; } elseif ($rating > 2) {     echo '<img src="3stars.png">'; } elseif ($rating > 1) {     echo '<img src="3stars.png">'; } else {     echo '<img src="1stars.png">'; } ?>

I think that will do what you are looking to do.

Hope this helps!

ooppps.. just realized you may be using Smarty (looking at the thread I'm not 100% positive which template you need this in) - if you are using Smarty, just use a "fetch" with a variable assignment instead of the PHP include call:

http://smarty.php.net/manual/en/language.function.fetch.php

and the proper {if} syntax.

Hope this helps!

Yes, I converted this theme to a Smarty theme last week.
I'll look at the Smarty docs and give it a shot.

I tried throwing the code you posted inside of {literal}tags{/literal}. I didn't get any errors on build but I only got a 1 star for all songs even if they had a higher rating.

I'll take what you have shown me and see what I can come up with.
Again, thanks for you help!

I'm getting this error:
Unable to retrieve database information for item_id 3 - verify connectivity.

With this URL:
rating.php?mode=rating_form&type=item&band_id=1&item_id=3&template=profile_rate_item.tpl

Any ideas where to look for this one?

[djmerlyn]

Are you absolutely sure that Band ID 1 has an Item ID of 3?

It seems rather unlikely...but you can look in the artist menu at the items, and you should see the item ID at the top of the screen of each item...looks like this:

Modify Item modify the information about this item

Item ID 1
Item Name
etc..etc...

Find the item you are trying to display and look at the top to verify the item ID you are using~

Yes, for sure item_id=3 and band_id=1
Is anyone using rating for items, photos, videos, etc...
I'm thinking maybe I should leave it alone?
Thanks

[djmerlyn]

It has to be a bug, I see the same thing here now that I gave it a go...

Moving this to the bugs area~
