Zero votes = Average rating 2.5?

Hi,

I've done some tweaking to the layout to display the average rating on my product listing instead of a popup. Here's how it looks like (as attached in rating.png).

However, I have two questions to ask (refer to rating.png):

1. In the 1st item, the average rating displays as 4.83333 of 5. Is there any way to keep the decimals to 2 points, e.g. "4.83 of 5"? If yes, what are the codes to insert?

2. In the 2nd item, the average rating displays as "2.5 of 5" even though there are 0 votes. Is there any way to make it "0 of 5" instead? Since there are no votes, by right the average rating should be 0 instead of showing as 2.5. Any way to tweak this?

Thank you so much!

Hi hawkeyentjc,

For the 1st point:
Go in Hikashop > Display > Views and edit the view: "mini.php" in the frontend.
For the line: Add the "round()" function like that:
And for the second point:
Edit the file: YourSite\components\com_hikashop\views\vote\view.html.php

Delete the lines: in the function mini and form.

Hi Xavier,

1st point and 2nd point work PERFECTLY! Awesome!

I have a 3rd question that comes after:

3) After the zero vote shows average rating "0 of 5", however the star rating shows "1 star". Is there any way for it to show up as "no stars" since the average rating is supposed to be "0 of 5"? I have attached Rating2.png for your easy reference.

Thanks for your prompt reply!

Try to edit the file: YourSite\media\com_hikashop\js\vote.js

And add a condition to the following block: like that:

Hi,

In the vote.js, I found the following block of code:

// highlight current and previous stars in yellow
if(current) {
current.set({class: 'ui-rating-star ui-rating-full'});
var c = current.getPrevious();
while(c) {
c.set({class: 'ui-rating-star ui-rating-full'});
c = c.getPrevious();
}

I changed it to:

if(this.options.defaultRating != 0){
current.set({class: 'ui-rating-star ui-rating-full'});
var c = current.getPrevious();
while(c) {
c.set({class: 'ui-rating-star ui-rating-full'});
c = c.getPrevious();
}

Nothing changes on the voting star. It still shows 1 star even though average rating is 0. Is the modification done correctly?

Please clean you browser's cache.

Alright awesome! Clearing the browser cache actually solves it. Thanks for your wonderful tip.

Hi Nic,

I jst want to display the rating stars for 2.5 (Example value), Noticed we rounding off the value and displaying stars for 3, is there a way to display a star with half shaded?

Can u plz help me in achieving it?

Thanks,

Hi,

The rating is now 0 by default in HikaShop.
If you see a default rating of 2.5, it means that you're using an old version of HikaShop.
The system cannot handle half filled stars.

Hi nic,

Ys i understood that half rating by the user is not applicable by the system.

Below is what i want to get clarified.

1. In displaying AVERAGE of ratings. [Ex 2.5 / 5]
2. If the average of ratings is 2.5 or 3.5 or 4.5, I want to display the star images as 2 full star and the next as half star.

Any way to achieve it,

Thanks,

No that's not possible. As I said in my previous message, the system cannot handle half filled stars.

OK, Thanks for your time nic.
