Reviews: don't auto-calc of overall score, possible?

Posted in: Newspaper

Hello,
very nice theme. However, I’ve got the problem with the review system, that the final score is automatically calculated based on the specified scores/criteria.
E.g. when I want to publish a review of a car, sub criterias might be “quality = 40%”, “performance = 80%” etc,
but the final score should not be 60%, but something the editor can specify individually.
Is that possible?

Also, when splitting the review article in more than one page using “nextpage”, could it be possible to display the ratings box with the final verdict and score only on the final page?

Thanks,
Jan

Hello zzboba,

Unfortunately, our theme has not been designed to have this option implemented, as you wish. If you want to change the structure of the reviews feature it is necessary to change the code from the file core. Please notice that is not a simple task and we do not have a quick response for it. If you want to display more levels you need custom modifications and I suggest to hire a freelancer to do this for you as we cannot provide custom work at this time, sorry!

Thank you for your understanding!

Thanks for your reply. Can you give me a hint in which .php file the review system is coded? Thanks!

Hello zzboba,

This feature is created in td_review.php file -> http://screencast.com/t/xgLvfwEDuK. If you want to change the functionality of this feature you have to alter the code. Please notice you need coding knowledge and if you are not aware the steps in this regard, please consider hiring a freelancer/developer to do this thing for you because we cannot provide custom services at the moment, sorry!

Hope this helps!

Thank you for the message!
