How to customise the author review system

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi,

I want to make better use of the review system built into the Newspaper theme: https://forum.tagdiv.com/reviews-2/

The basic functionality works well – as shown here: https://forum.tagdiv.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/review.png – but is there a way to edit what is automatically added to the foot of the review?

I would like to add lists of pros and cons, some imagery, and basically want to use the review system in a more personalised way. The above guide suggests using tagDiv Cloud Library Post Templates in order to open up further customisation options. I don’t really need a whole new template in this instance, and just want to edit the review element.

What would be the best way to achieve this?

Thank you in advance.

Hello!

The easiest way to achieve this is to use cloud templates, otherwise you need custom code for that.

Thank you for understanding!

Hi Bettina,

That being the case, is it possible to create a cloud template from an existing page?

Hello!

Unfortunately, no, sorry. But you can import any template you’ll like from the Cloud templates.

Thank you!

Hi again Bettina,

So I’ve managed to create a template that does almost everything I want it to.

All I need now is the ability to pull an element into a post itself. For example, I have the element ‘Single Post Review Overall’ configured to show the star rating at the top of the template.

Is it possible to use that element, with the same formatting, inside the actual post content? For example I would like to use columns to display pros and cons, and would like it to automatically pull the same star rating across. Any ideas?

Hi c386,
The Single Post Review Overall is an element that can be set on single post template around the content, so you can set it in sidebars or before/after the single post content.
Unfortunately, there are no options to can edit the element to add new options/functions.
Therefore, to have an pros and cons system inside posts, you’ll need to use an extra plugin.
