Need a if/then for the 'STAR' rating if link under 10 votes. Look inside!
Hey all,

I am using the 'star' rating system instead of the 9.5 numeric style.

What I am curious is this, is there an easy way to put an 'if/then' statement in here so that if the 'link' has less that '10' votes, it will show the 1st image, which I have set up as blank.

This way a site that has one vote of "10" does not get a 5 start rating.

I made horses for my 5 stars, since my site is a Ford Mustang site, if anyone desires those let me know.

Below is the code, just looking for an easy if then.

Thanks
Mike

Code:

sub site_html_link {

elsif ($rec{'Rating'} le '9.50') { $rate_img = $rate_19; }
else { $rate_img = $rate_20; }

And then I call it with '$rate_img'.

OK,

Now I am baffled... why in Netscape is my whole Link and descript, etc. underlined.

here is the code, and everything looks closed.. ?????

Code:
<table width="500" bgcolor="#ffffff" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="5"
bordercolor="#000000">

<tr>
<td width="100%"><a href="http://stangnet.com/links2/jump.cgi?ID=724"><font face=tahoma,verdana size=2><b>Chris' Car Site</b></a> <a href="http://stangnet.com/links2/rate.cgi?ID=724"><IMG SRC="/images/rate00.gif" WIDTH=160 HEIGHT=16 ALT="Rate It!" BORDER="0" ALIGN="ABSMIDDLE"></A> <br><font face=tahoma,verdana size=2> Hundreds of cars with multimedia for each!
<br><small class="date"><b>(Added:</b> 27-May-1999 <b>Hits:</b> 37 <b> )</b> [<a href="http://stangnet.com/links2/rate.cgi?ID=724">Rate It!</a>] [<a class="link" href="http://stangnet.com/links2/send.cgi?ID=724">Email this Link</a>]<br> </small>

Re: Need a if/then for the 'STAR' rating if link under 10 votes. Look inside! In reply to
It seems to me (I haven't tried this) that the easiest way to do this would be
Code:
if ($rec{'Votes'} > 1) {
if ($rec{'Rating'} eq '10.00') { $rate_img = $rate_20; }
...
else { $rate_img = $rate_20; }
}
else { $rate_img = $rate_00; }
I think that should work. Actually though, I'm a PERL moron, and I'm not sure whether that "if" statement ought to be ($rec{'Votes'} gt '1') but one or the other of them ought to do the trick. Replace "1" with the number of votes you want to have entered before the rating image shows up.

Hope this helps.
Phoenix

Thanks, that did the trick,

below is for all that use the Star rating system but do not want to give sites credit that only have one vote or so. I have it set to 10, this way only the true sites that are getting voted on show up, this way your page is not cluttered. For an example, check out www.stangnet.com in the Pony Links section.

Code:

You can get the original code and graphics here...

http://www.asan.com/...nix/mod-ratings.html

On one note, I modified the script so that it ouwld show me 1/4 and 3/4 stars, to me that is to critical, looks messy on a page also, I have only whole stars, half stars and on the ones that have a crappy rating, I dont even show a star until they have like a 3.0 or better.

2nd note, this is the complete layout for a 'link' on my site, it goes in the site_html.pl, feel free to use the look.

Mike,

This is unnecessarily verbose.

Since you are only using $rate_00, _01, _04, _06, _08, _10, _12, _16, _18, and _20, there is no reason not to delete the other definitions from the first part of the code (where the images are defines, before the if-else statement).

And then in the if-else statement, there is no reason to call each image you're using based on 2 different sets of parameters. Whatever the highest number is that will get a given image, leave that line and delete the ones with lower numbers. For instance leave the line with the parameter "le '1.50'" and delete the other two lines that call the same image.

This doesn't look like a very consistant visual representation. But then maybe it would make more sense if I saw your images. Smile

yeah, Smile I knew is wasnt pretty, I just changed the images in there to see if it was what I wanted. I know that I wanted to not show so many images, and I know that I should strip some lines Wink.

Mike,

It looks great... the whole site. Very attractive. The only complaint I have about it is that with everything underlined on the Links pages, it's hard to see what's a links and what's plain text. Other tahn that, really sharp!

Yes, Netscape 4.5. I just looked at it in EI4 as well, and it looks great without the underlining.
