Hello everyone, I'm using mod_k2_content on the homepage of my site to display articles.  I want to show the article star rating system in the module to the right of where it says the number of hits.

 

I'm wondering if anyone knows what code I would insert into the modules/mod_k2_content/tmpl/Default/default.php file

 

I found the article rating code below in the components/com_k2/default/item.php file and played around with it a little but couldn't get the rating to match up with the articles rating.

 

<?php if($this->item->params->get('itemRating')): ?>    <!-- Item Rating -->    <div class="itemRatingBlock">        <span><?php echo JText::_('Rate this item'); ?></span>        <div class="itemRatingForm">            <ul class="itemRatingList">                <li class="itemCurrentRating" id="itemCurrentRating<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" style="width:<?php echo $this->item->votingPercentage; ?>%;"></li>                <li><a href="#" rel="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('1 star out of 5'); ?>" class="one-star">1</a></li>                <li><a href="#" rel="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('2 stars out of 5'); ?>" class="two-stars">2</a></li>                <li><a href="#" rel="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('3 stars out of 5'); ?>" class="three-stars">3</a></li>                <li><a href="#" rel="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('4 stars out of 5'); ?>" class="four-stars">4</a></li>                <li><a href="#" rel="<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" title="<?php echo JText::_('5 stars out of 5'); ?>" class="five-stars">5</a></li>            </ul>            <div id="itemRatingLog<?php echo $this->item->id; ?>" class="itemRatingLog"><?php echo $this->item->numOfvotes; ?></div>            <div class="clr"></div>        </div>        <div class="clr"></div>    </div>    <?php endif; ?><br>

 

 

If anyone has done this before any could provide the coding that would be great.  I think putting it on the homepage it cant find the itemid to retrieve the rating from but that's just a guess.

 

thanks,

brett

I am interested in this as well!

If anyone can figure out the code to paste in by 02/23/2011 I'll paypal them $10

anyone know a paid service to get help with k2?

New AidaNews has Beta module:

code.google.com/p/aidanews/downloads/detail?name=mod_aidanews_for_K2_2_beta2.zip

 

It shows all stars (no rating possibility). Try it and see if you will be satisfied how stars look.

You can cut a yellow star from K2 stars css sprite image, and replace yellow star in module.

Just cut it to the same size in pixels.

It is a only workaround without code tweak. Not so perfect because it doesn´t show values between stars (value with yellow star a half, or different populated), only one star.

If you want to retrieve only count of votes, you have to add the following PHP code:

$query = 'SELECT rating_count FROM #__k2_rating WHERE itemID = ' . $item->id;

$db->setQuery($query);

$item->votes=$db->loadResult();


insert this code into modules/mod_k2_content/helper.php, straight after foreach($items as $item){ statement, somewhere at line 220. Then all you have to do in your template file of k2_content is:

<?php echo $item->votes; ?>

that code works marius, but doesnt really help unless it can be somehow tied in with the stars, anyone have any ideas on what to change in the code or add? The stars show up with the code, but are all white and nothing happens when you try to rate it
