Rating Scale (4 Stars to 2 Stars)
Hi there. Liking this script a lot. I was wondering if there is a way to modify the rating function to include graphics of stars to replace the numbering system??

I would like to have 2 - 4 stars appear rather than numbers 1-10. What I envision in the script is to associate 4 stars with the numbers 8-10, 3 stars with 5-7, and 2 stars with 1-4. I currently have a static rating system on my site, which I manually put star graphics with links. It seems that it is possible through LINKS2 to automate this process and also allow web visitors to interact more with my site.

Anyone know of a mod or sub-routine that could accomplish this goal??

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.

Check out the Gossamer Threads Resource Center at http://www.gossamer-threads.com/scripts/resources/ . You will find a mod like that plus more.

I hope this helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. However, the only mod that is similar to the Rating Scale is the "New" graphics Mod. I will try it and see if it works with Ratings. But I think there may be a lot more tweaking of the scripts involved, which I was asking for assistance on.

But I will see how it works.

Thank you. That was what I was looking for. When I went through the Modification links, I could only find NEW graphics MOD.

Thanks a lot!
