Chris Deeming's rating star add-on replacement

As Chris explained, It will only work in places that I use the core XF rating template (which is not through out SC). I do the actual Rating (AJAX) different than Core XF, so it requires slightly different code, plus I have TWO different types of rating systems on a given item page (specified by category).

in places like the template: nflj_showcase_category_list

HTML:

                                <xen:include template="rating">
                                    <xen:set var="$rating">{$item.rating}</xen:set>
                                    <xen:set var="$hint">{xen:if '{$item.vote_count} == 1', {xen:phrase 1_vote}, {xen:phrase x_votes_plural, 'count={$item.vote_count}'}}</xen:set>
                                </xen:include>

replace with:

HTML:

                                <xen:include template="font_awesome_rating">
                                    <xen:set var="$rating">{$item.rating}</xen:set>
                                    <xen:set var="$hint">{xen:if '{$item.vote_count} == 1', {xen:phrase 1_vote}, {xen:phrase x_votes_plural, 'count={$item.vote_count}'}}</xen:set>
                                </xen:include>

 

Here is a screen shot using the above edit for a category page in LIST view.

 

Ya, those do not use the Core XF rating template. Like I mentioned above, there are a few places where I require different code which prevents me from using the core template. I will figure out something tho

 

got most of this sorted (everything but the ITEM page).

 

This is all sorted now and will be available in the upcoming maintenance release.

The only tricky part is with the Item Sidebar template (nflj_showcase_item_sidebar) as it can't use the Core XF rating template. What I've done for the Item Sidebar template (nflj_showcase_item_sidebar) is create to sub templates:

nflj_showcase_item_rating (This is the core default)
nflj_showcase_item_font_awesome_rating (This is the one to use for font awesome)

All the others use the core XF default ratings template.

Core Showcase templates that need to be edited to change the include to font_awesome_rating:

news_feed_item_showcase_item_rate
news_feed_item_showcase_review_insert
nflj_showcase_category_grid
nflj_showcase_category_list
nflj_showcase_find_new_items
nflj_showcase_index_grid
nflj_showcase_index_list
nflj_showcase_item_sidebar
nflj_showcase_item_watched_list_item
nflj_showcase_member_grid
nflj_showcase_member_list
nflj_showcase_member_sidebar
nflj_showcase_module_items
nflj_showcase_node_list_items
nflj_showcase_profile_tab_content
nflj_showcase_reviews
