Gossamer Forum: Products: Links 2.0: Customization: How do I add star ratings to directory listings? Thanks

Hi,

This is based off one that was posted a while back, but the page with instructions on was lost.

Here they are:

1) Open /cgi-bin/links/admin/site_html_link.pl , and find:

Code:
sub site_html_link { 

  .... other code here 

}

Replace this with:

Code:
sub site_html_link { 
# -------------------------------------------------------- 
# This routine is used to display what a link should look 
# like.  

    my %rec = @_; 

   $img_loc = q|http://www.location_of_Picture.com/images|; 

    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/5star.gif">| if ($rec{'Rating'}=~ /^10/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/45star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^9/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/4star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^8/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/35star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^7/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/3star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^6/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/25star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^5/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/2star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^4/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/15star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^3/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/1star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^2/); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/05star.gif"> | if ($rec{'Rating'} =~ /^1$|^1\./); 
    $rating = qq|<img src="$img_loc/0star.gif" width="75" height="15">| if ($rec{'Rating'} < 1); 

# Set new and pop to either 1 or 0 for templates. 
    ($rec{'isNew'} eq 'Yes')     ? ($rec{'isNew'} = 1)     : (delete $rec{'isNew'}); 
    ($rec{'isPopular'} eq 'Yes') ? ($rec{'isPopular'} = 1) : (delete $rec{'isPopular'}); 

    return &load_template ('link.html', {  
                                            detailed_url => "$db_detailed_url/$rec{'ID'}$build_extension",                                           
                                            rate_img => $rating,  
                                            %rec, 
                                            %globals 
                                    }); 
}

NOTE: BE sure to edit this line, so match up with your image folder:

Code:
  $img_loc = q|http://www.location_of_Picture.com/images|;

2) Download the attached img.zip file, and upload the contents to your site (ideally the /images folder).

3) Open up the template link.html , and add in <%rate_img%> whereever you want the rating image to show :)

Hope that helps.

Cheers
