V4.1.x Rating Module v1.7.1 Modification

[Kyan]

Hello,

Ok, thanks to Larry's advice I was easily able to turn the rating module options from 1 out of 5 to 1 out of 2, or rather what I was looking for, Yes or No. However, I'm struggling with the end result. In viewlistings what is displayed is as follows (after 5 mock reviews):

Total Reviews = 5
Average Rating = 3.4 out of 5 stars

I would like this to be limited to two options, Yes or No. So the end result within Viewlistings would look like:

Totals Reviews = 5
Average Rating = 3 answered Yes, 2 answered No

or

Total Reviews = 5
Average Rating = The average person answered Yes (just displaying the highest rating)

Basically, I would like to disable options 3 through 5 and give options 1 and 2 the same value, 1. In doing this I'm hoping the rating module will simply add all the 1's vs all the 2's and output their totals. Is this possible? Anyone have any ideas? Hope this makes sense.

This is going to take some work and I dont have a turn key solution to give you, but the way the mod works right now is it "sums" (ie adds up) the ratings and does some math to display an average.

You are going to need to alter the database queries in hooks.php for the rating mod. What you are probably going to have to do is 2 queries in place on the existing single query, one to get yes anwers and one to get no answers. Then stor and display accordingly.

This will likely not be an easy task if you dont have some php experience.
