Advanced Charts
Installation and Configuration
If you have any of these skins:
* flashback
* mediapro
* nova
* projam
* sage
you can copy the code from the music_chart_row.tpl file. Think thats what your talking about?
They uses the Advanced Charts module and do a bit of checking to see which image to display.
{if $item.chart_direction == 'up'}
{if $item.chart_change > 10}
{assign var="chart_image" value="hot_up"}
{else}
{assign var="chart_image" value="up"}
{/if}
{elseif $item.chart_direction == 'down'}
{if $item.chart_change > 10}
{assign var="chart_image" value="cool_down"}
{else}
{assign var="chart_image" value="down"}
{/if}
{elseif $item.chart_direction == 'same'}
{assign var="chart_image" value="same"}
{elseif $item.chart_direction == 'new'}
{assign var="chart_image" value="new"}
{/if}
then display that image:
{jrCore_image image="chart_`$chart_image`.png" alt="`$item.chart_direction`"}
Thats not part of the charts module though, its just skin design.
don't freak out if something looks like it went wrong. Put the site into maintenance mode and outline it here in the forums, we'll be around to help.
