Questions about the Review component

Posted in: Newspaper

Hi

I have some questions about the review component.

1 – if I wanted to use points, is there a way to have 5 as the maximum instead of 10?

2 – if I wanted to use Stars, is there a way to have half stars?

3 – is there a way to position the review section on the page?

4 – is there a way to only have the description and a final score instead of adding individual scores?

5 – on the main page, once I add a review score to a post, I get a series of 5 stars appearing under the post name. Where is this coming from as a) I don’t want it, and b) the stars don’t match the score anyway. For example, I score something 8 our of 10, why does it show as X number of stars?

My site URL is : http://connecteddigitalhome.com/

many thanks

Andrew

Hello,
1. Change like here: http://screencast.com/t/VAfrzkRJd4
2. Only with custom modification, we have this on the todo list for following updates, but is not with high priority.
3. Yes, in this file this line echo the review, you can move the code where you want.
4. You can hide the attribute and keep only the final score, comment this line like here: http://screencast.com/t/53Cs8AeznV or you can use just a single attribute for ratting. All the code is in that file if you want to play with it.
5. You want to hide the review stars from the homepage? The stars are from 1-5, no matters that you are use points(will not show 1-10 stars) or for percent will not show (1-100 stars)

Thanks for the message!

thanks Marius

re answer 5 – I don’t want any review stars to appear on the homepage ever – how can I remove them, especially as they don’t actually correspond to whatever score is given?

thanks

One other quick thing Marius around point 4 – I have hidden those lines, thank you, but how do I remove the box that says Review Overview? I only want the box that says Summary.

thanks again

Hello,
Ups, sorry, when you have changed to 1-5 point, I forgot to tell you how to make the stars to, change here: http://screencast.com/t/2bdNBa2gZw to fix the star.
Do you still need to remove them from homepage, if now will work correctly?

To remove that, please add this in CSS panel.

.td-review-header {
    display: none;
}
.td-review {
    margin-top: 0px !important;
}

Thanks for the message!

Hi Marius

Two final questions:

If you look at my example page here: http://connecteddigitalhome.com/2014/02/02/review-resogun/

you will see that the review box appears after the socialize plug – how can I make the review box appear directly after post?

Also, there appears to be some blank space above the review box, how can I get rid of it?

many thanks

Andrew

Hi,
To remove the white space add this in CSS

.td_review_with_bars {
    display: none;
}

To move the review box at the end of the post is quite impossible as the social box is rendered directly at the end of the post(in content). I tried from CSS but is not a clean solution, is without space and I’m not sure it works in IE7,8.

http://screencast.com/t/OKsJB6lyKxD

Use this CSS:

.td-review {
    display: table-header-group;
}
.socialize-containter {
    display: table-cell;
}

Thanks!

thanks Marius – white space removed 🙂

and you are right, the other part is not clean so I will leave it.

thanks for your help

Hi,
Should work from CSS, add it in Custom CSS panel

.post .entry-review-stars {
     display:none;
}

Thanks!

i make this marius, and i remove the stars on homepage with this (http://screencast.com/t/4EM0y4jrX3) but inside of each review post, under the title in place of dates, appears the stars! http://grab.by/vDXk

if i add this code in Custom CSS panel

     display:none;
}

The stars disappears, but the date doesn’t appear. http://grab.by/vDWS

Can you tell me how to fix it?

Hi,
You don’t have the date post? only the hour? Please check in Settings -> General the date format.

Can you show me your site URL to see the issue?
Thanks!

Goodmorning marius. Of course i have the date post. but when i make a post “review” the date replaced by the Stars. When i hide the stars with css block:none trick, the date doesn’t appear.
