Thread: Rating Box

Is there a way to delete the rating box without the source code?

ANd if you can't delete it, can you change the order of the ratings so "Terrible" isn't at top?

I put this is the wrong category, I meant to put it in "ML"

sorry

How about setting appconfig 'RatingsEnabled' to false?

that would get rid of the ratings, but it disables all ratings and not just the rating box.

I would like to remove the area shaded in red and keep the rating and comments.

Ahh - I see what you mean.

Thinking out loud here.... You could wrap the entire ratings 'module' in a div (just so you can select it easier) & then hide the relevant table with css.

I tried hidding with CSS, but with no luck.

I was using the page.recentcomments.xml.config for the hidden div, but maybe it's somewhere else? recentcomments.aspx/.cs don't seem to be the place and rateit and ratecomment don't seem to be the right place either.

I turned cache off and cleared cahce each time, just to be sure.

In your xmlpackage, you'll have something like this :-

C#/VB.NET Code:

<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductRatings(ProductID, 0, 0, 0, 1)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/> 


If you wrap that in a new div like this :-

C#/VB.NET Code:

<div id="ratings-hider"><xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductRatings(ProductID, 0, 0, 0, 1)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/></div> 


You should then be able to hide the relevant table with css - it looks like the first grandchild table of ratings-hider.

Yes the product XML was the first try and it hides the whole ratings box and not just the "upside down" rating slider box (in red above).

I'm thinking that the source IS needed to accomplish this

OK - here goes.......

1. Copy this file into your jscripts directory.

2. Add the following to your template.ascx

HTML Code:

<script type="text/javascript" src="jscripts/jquery.js"></script>

3. Replace this :-

HTML Code:

<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductRatings(ProductID, 0, 0, 0, 1)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

in your xmlpackage with this :-

HTML Code:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#rating-hider table table table:first").remove();
});
</script>
<div id="rating-hider">
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductRatings(ProductID, 0, 0, 0, 1)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>
</div>

4. Buy me a beer & we can chat about how great I am......



You can see it in action here.

This one will get rid of the redunant "Only registered...blah blah"

Add this to the end of your <template match="/">:

Code:

<xsl:text disable-output-escaping="yes">
<![CDATA[
<script type="text/javascript">			
(function(listener,evt,func){ listener.attachEvent ? listener.attachEvent('on'+evt,func) : listener.addEventListener(evt,func,false);})(window,'load',function(evt){
var el = document.getElementsByTagName('TD');									
for(var i=0;i < el.length;i++) if(el.item(i).innerText == '1 - Terrible') { el = el.item(i);break; }
while(el && el.tagName != 'TABLE') el = el.parentNode;
el = el.parentNode;
while(el && el.tagName != 'TABLE') el = el.parentNode;
el && el.parentNode && el.parentNode.removeChild(el.previousSibling) && el.parentNode.removeChild(el.previousSibling) && el.parentNode.removeChild(el);
});
</script>
]]>
</xsl:text>

Done!

Since you're probably not too close to here, have PayPal? I think I can spot you a few beers

PM me

I cant get this to work for me. Is there not a way to just change the text in this box without changing the source?

I'm looking to remove the chart as well. What XML package am I supposed to modify? I am running ML 7.0.1.1.

Thanks!

Whichever xmlpackage you're using to display products.

RE: "Is there not a way to just change the text in this box without changing the source?"

all text on the site is editable in string resources (in the admin site). Source not needed for that. Thx.

Thanks for the trick, BFG 9000. It worked fine for me. Let me know how I can help you in turn...

Hey Diana - No Problem,

I'm sure I'll need some SQL help in the future (seem to remember you know your SQL pretty well?).

Where exactly in the xml package does this get placed? I tried multiple spots in the code and it will not remove the "(Only registered customers can rate)".

Does it get pasted on the line right after <template match="/">?

Does anyone still have that file?

BFG, nice Javascript work there!

The ASPDNSF product rating system has to be high in the list of priorities for a re-write. Let's face it, it's unchanged since at least v7 and is looking very dated now.

All of the new clients we work with ask us to either remove it or re-write it.

Come on Vortx, give us a nice new system based on Ajax with the business logic independent of the layout and styling and a range of configuration settings to switch features on/off. Give some integration options for social networks.

If you are serious about an 'SEO friendly' system, then user generated content, discussions and ratings for products is a top feature.

Off my soapbox now!

Just wanted to say that WebOpius did a great job with our new Ratings system! It fits our sites perfectly.

That being said however - you'd be better using this.

Agree completely - I no longer use the standard reviews system for exactly these reasons.

Meaning the 1.5.1 version?

I'd always use the latest version if possible - but more specifically - I'd recommend using the Google hosted version rather than hosting it yourself.

Hi BFG9000,
Thank you for the info on how to remove the ratings box. It works! However, I still have the blank drop down menu that I can't get rid of. I am hoping you can tell me how to hide it. I keep being told to hide it in the stylesheets but can't figure out how to do it. I do not have source code. Thank you, I appreciate your time. This thread has been really helpful. Thanks.
Patty

Hi Patty,

I haven't tested this - but a quick look at your code makes me think something very close to this would work :-

HTML Code:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#rating-hider table table select").remove();
});
</script>

or in your css you could add this :-

HTML Code:

#rating-hider table table select {display: none;}

TTFN

BFG

Hi BFG,
Thank you for your help! I tried script entry as you suggested and it got rid of the dropdown, but the table was displaying again. So I put 2 scripts in to get it to work. Do you know how to consolidate these into a single script? I wasn't successful.
Thank you again, Patty

HTML Code:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#rating-hider table table table:first").remove();
});
</script>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#rating-hider select").remove();
});
</script>

Something like this :-

HTML Code:

<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
   $("#rating-hider table table table:first").remove();
   $("#rating-hider select").remove();
});
</script>

Hi BFG
Thanks, it works perfect!!!! I really appreciate it!
Patty

It worked great!
I'm just having a problem finding where I can get rid border, hr, and ratingsexpanded.gif. It's a little redundant with the tabbed product page. Please tell me it's not hard coded and I'm just being retarded. MS V9, in case that matters.


Thanks a bunch!

I figured it out! In case anyone else has that problem, here's what I did.

I replaced this:
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductRatings(ProductID, 0, 0, 0, 1)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

With this:
<xsl:value-of select="aspdnsf:ProductRatings(ProductID, 0, 0, 0, 1, 0)" disable-output-escaping="yes"/>

I'm using this product page (http://www.aspdotnetstorefront.com/p...dropdowns.aspx) That probably had something to do with it.

Thanks for all the help!
