  How do i add {$rev.star} to this? {foreach from=$reviews item="rev"}
  
  Is it like this? {foreach from=$reviews item="{$rev.star}"}
  
  Please show me how the finished code looks!

  I am trying to exclude the listing owners rating from the overall score. to sum the total score, I tries to modify the sql query to:
  $sSQL="SELECT SUM(score) AS totalscores FROM ".PREFIX."rating WHERE uid=".$member." AND approved='Y' AND person<>".$username."";
  
  this is to exclude the score submitted by the member himself... but this query does not return any results... what's wrong?
  
  then, how do I get the total number of reviews (excluding the reviews submitted by the member himself).. now it's using the $rows variable which is the total number of reviews including those submitted by the member.
  
  I just want to exclude the members own score from the average score.

  Looks like you have your quotes wrong around username variable.

  got the Manual Approval issue to work... modified the hook.php and included approved="Y" in the SQL query.
• ibay
  i have set Manual Approval to YES... but still the reviews are displayed as soon as a user submits them. how do I set to Manual Approval?
• ibay
  how do I resize the add-review windows?
• Eric Barnes
  No not currently. You would have to manually check them and delete them if the same user added it twice.
• guillo
  is there a way to restrict the module to be used ONCE by any registered user.
• guillo
  im sorry, that is what I used.
• guillo
  i was able to place the stars on the individual user ratings but not on the average ratings.
  
  I tested placing {$rev.star} in every other place of the template with no success.
  
  Please advice. Thanks!
• Eric Barnes
  For the total average you need to use this variable: {$star}
• guillo
  also, im not sure if i missed it in the above comments but is it possible to show images of stars instead of text?
• Eric Barnes
  Inside the {foreach from=$reviews item="rev"} just add:
  {$rev.star}
  
  This will show the images for the individual review.
  
  If you want to show the images for the average total reviews then you can use: {$star} That does not have to be inside the foreach loop.
• guillo
  Where in the template am I supposed to add the code to restrict to registered users only.
  
  {if $smarty.session.username<>""}{$smarty.const.LANG_WRITE_REVIEW}{else}Please login to add a review.{/if}
• ibay
  i got the above figured out..
  how can I make the $star variable available in the viewlisting2.tpl page for that I can show the user rating on that page.
• Eric Barnes
  The {$star} variable only pulls out the rating the listing on viewlisting or viewlisting2 template pages.
  
  If you want to show it they you add it to the template just as I did above: {$star}
• ibay
  i would like to restrict rating for registered users only.... is it possible to make the Name field equal to the logged-in user's username ..... and do not allow user to enter a different name..

  Hi Eric - This plugin seems to be working fine so far but I am not seeing a rating.tpl file anywhere on my server. I tried putting the code you provided for that page into listing_rating.tpl but it only has text saying you need to login - doesn't actually require it. Am I missing something?
• Eric Barnes
  You should be placing the code above in either viewlisting.tpl or member.tpl. The rating template is part of the module download but named listing_rating.tpl or member_rating.tpl
• Eric Barnes
  If you submit a rating and it shows 5 out of 10 stars then you will need to edit your main 68 Classifieds language/english.php and search for LANG_OUT_OF_STARS. Then change it to out of 5.
