V4.1.x ratings module problem

Hey...

I just "installed" the ratings module into my 4.1.6 following the instructions as stated.

Nothing happens on the front side. I do see the modules in the admin.

Have I done something wrong on the install?

Have I added the code in the wrong part of the listing.tpl file?

Please advice.

Larry, thank for your reply.

I did exactly as the install instructions state.

I uploaded the ratings folder to the modules folder. I then activated the module from the admin module settings.

I then included the following code

Listing Rating

For listing rating add the following code in your viewlistings.tpl file

{assign var="rating" value=$smarty.const.FILESYSTEM_PATH}{include file="$rating/modules/rating/templates/listing_rating.tpl"}

and...

Restrict to Registered Users

If you would like to restrict reviews to only registered users you could open the template file rating.tpl and add this:

{if $smarty.session.username<>""}{$smarty.const.LANG_WRITE_REVIEW}{else}Please login to add a review.{/if}



Though I wasn't completely sure where to add the before mentioned code.

let me know what you think.

Thank again...

One thing to check is that you are actually using viewlisting.tpl and not viewlisting2.tpl. Add the same code to it as well to check if that is the reason.

Another thing is to make sure you edit the template in your template set (if it has one).

Thank you Larry & Eric... I guess I was using viewlisting2. I added the code to both files and it is now showing the review section above the listing.

I am able to see the review section in the listing. 3 things I need to address.

1. Change the language of the module title on the front side
2. When I click on "write a Review", it does not do anything.

3. How can I place the review under the listing itself instead than above the listing. (placing the code elsewhere on viewlisting file? NREVER MIND>>> THIS IS DONE BY PLAACING WHERE U WANT ON THE .tpl file.


Thank you!

I downloaded the module from the module section on 68Classifieds website. I believe it is version v1.7 – August 13, 2009. here is the link i used: ClassifiedMods Rating Module

This is the link that appears on "Write a Review": javascript:writereview()



the module does contain a language folder, but the file in it does not contain the word shown in the front page... i'll try the template.

when I right click in the "write a Review" link and go to properties the supposed action or link that it follows is javascript:writereview()

it appears like if it were a link but it doesnt do anything when clicked.

please see the actual listing: PRanuncia.com Casa 4 cuartos en tremenda ubicacion!

rating.tpl as stated in the install instructions...

I am not sure where in the template was I supposed to add it though.

I just removed it from the listing_rating.tpl file.

id like to add it though as it prevents unregistered users to review the listings.

I took it off and the link now works. It opens a Pop up where i can leave comment.

How or where should I included the code to restrict comments to registered users only?

Larry, thank you very much for the detailed explanation. Its comments like this that teaches us newbies the "why" of things.


is there a particular area were i need to include this code?


I added the code you suggested to the section of the template where it calls for the pop up review window. Nothing happened again.

This is the code for the template and the blue is the coded i added.


<script>

{if $smarty.session.username<>""}
<a href="javascript:writereview()">{$smarty.const.LANG_WRITE_REVIEW}</a>
{else}
Please login to add a review.
{/if}

{literal}

function writereview()
{
window.open("modules/rating/add.php?listing={/literal}{$lid}{literal}", "reviews", "width=400, height=400, location=no, menubar=no, status=no, toolbar=no, scrollbars=yes, resizable=no");
}
{/literal}


</script>


<table class="tableborder">
<tr>
<th colspan="3"><strong>Comentarios y Calificación</strong></th>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="formleft" width="50%">{$smarty.const.LANG_TOTAL_REVIEW}</td>
<td class="formright" colspan="2" width="50%">{$totalReviews}</td>
</tr>
{if $avgReview > 0}
<tr>
<td class="formleft" width="50%">{$smarty.const.LANG_AVG_RATING}</td>
<td class="formright" colspan="2" width="50%">{$avgReview} {$smarty.const.LANG_OUT_OF_STARS}</td>
</tr>
{/if}
<tr>
<td class="formstrip" colspan="3" align="center"><a href="javascript:writereview()">{$smarty.const.LANG_WRITE_REVIEW}</a></td>
</tr>
</table>
<br />
{if $reviews<>""}
<table class="tableborder">
<tr>
<th colspan="3"><strong>Comentarios</strong></th>
</tr>
{foreach from=$reviews item="rev"}
<tr>
<td class="{cycle values="row1,row2" advance=false}">{$rev.person}</td>
<td class="{cycle values="row1,row2" advance=false}">{$rev.added|date_format:$dateformat}</td>
<td class="{cycle values="row1,row2" advance=false}">{$rev.score} {$smarty.const.LANG_OUT_OF_STARS}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td colspan="3" class="{cycle values="row1,row2"}">Comentario: {$rev.review}</td>
</tr>
{/foreach}
</table>
{/if}

I think the <script> tag should go just above the {literal} tag.
