Voting System

[sancho]

Hi Smart,

I finally got through in implementing the code you gave. Thanks for that. However, I have one more request. Is it possible to remove the positive sign "+" and the negative sign "-" in the numbers and display it in one line as opposed to two lines that it is displaying now.

Also, when voting, I would like the thumbs up/down to be replaced with 'Like' and 'Dislike', can you tell me which file to modify to achieve this?  

Lastly, how can I display 0 (zero) in the both the dislike and like when there are no votes yest. Right now, it's displaying blank.

Thanks for your help again.


Regards,


sancho

You could change this in JComments template:

1. Open file /components/com_jcomments/tpl/default/tpl_comment.php
2. Find code:

Code: (php)

<span class="vote-<?php echo $class; ?>"><?php echo $value; ?></span>

and replace with:

Code: (php)

<span class="vote-good"><?php echo $comment->isgood != 0 ? '+' . $comment->isgood : ''; ?></span>/<span class="vote-poor"><?php echo $comment->ispoor != 0 ? '-' . $comment->ispoor : ''; ?></span>

Just have to replace the isgood : ''; and ispoor : ''; parts with  isgood : '0'; and ispoor : '0';

This would be the full chunk of code:

Code:

<span class="vote-good"><?php echo $comment->isgood != 0 ? '+' . $comment->isgood : '0'; ?></span>/<span class="vote-poor"><?php echo $comment->ispoor != 0 ? '-' . $comment->ispoor : '0'; ?></span>

That will show zeros in both the good and poor comments places when there are no votes yet.
