Hi,

I have been struggling with this for a while.

I want my client to be able to assign 1-6 stars through the extra fields in the backend. He is a music journalist. The result should look somehting like this:
steffenjungersen.dk/volbeat-gaesteanmeldelse-refshaleoen

Right now it looks like this - the rating ("Karakter", at the bottom, only displays a number):
steffenjungersen.anansi.dk/test-anmeldelse-nummer-2

I tried to add your solution above to the item.php file. I added this (and the css code to k2.css):

<!-- Item rating -->

<?php if(isset($this->item->extra_fields[rating]) && ($this->item->extra_fields[rating] >= 0 || $this->item->extra_fields[rating] <=10)): ?>
<span class="starsbox stars<?php echo $this->item->extra_fields[rating]; ?>"></span>
<?php endif; ?>

I also made sure in the backend, that the alisa for "Karakter" is "rating".

Absolutely nothing has changed.

Please halp :-)

You should look for a css solution.
Have the value of the extrafield echo as a css class on a div or span element and depending on that class use a diferrent background image(s).

Hi and thank you for your quick reply.

I think my problem is that I can't make the extra field echo an image as described above.

As you can see at the bottom of the article at steffenjungersen.anansi.dk/koncertanmeldelser/test-anmeldelse-nummer-2, it still echos the numeric value from the drop down.

Is it because I should use a different type of extra field?

I would love to be able to implement something like the built-in rating system with the graphic stars, but only to be used by my client, not the site visitors, but I can't seem to be allowed to limit the rating to registered/admins only.

Best, Astrid
