Looking For Someone To Fix Rating

[holyjake]

Hi-

I'm looking for someone with clip-share experience. I need to change the rating system. I want it to be like YouTube. Basically, Thumbs Up and Thumbs Down. Maybe with different images. Please reply to this post if you think you are eligible.

Thank You!
Jacob

I think I can refer someone for this. Any rough figures on the pay?

Depends how long it will take. How long do you think it will take to make such a change?

I like making users own videos not available to rate. You can put a Smarty - if in the right place in the view_video.tpl.

{if $smarty.session.UID ne ""}
{if $smarty.session.UID ne $UID}
<div id="voteProcess">&nbsp; <img src="{$imgurl}/tpl_icon_star_empty.gif" onClick="fxRate('{$viewkey}',2,'voteProcess','vote Processthank','{$VID}')">
<img src="{$imgurl}/tpl_icon_star_empty.gif" onClick="fxRate('{$viewkey}',4,'voteProcess','vote Processthank','{$VID}')">
<img src="{$imgurl}/tpl_icon_star_empty.gif" onClick="fxRate('{$viewkey}',6,'voteProcess','vote Processthank','{$VID}')">
<img src="{$imgurl}/tpl_icon_star_empty.gif" onClick="fxRate('{$viewkey}',8,'voteProcess','vote Processthank','{$VID}')">
<img src="{$imgurl}/tpl_icon_star_empty.gif" onClick="fxRate('{$viewkey}',10,'voteProcess','vot eProcessthank','{$VID}')">
</div>
<div id="voteProcessthank" style='display:none'><small>Thanks for rating</small>
</div>
{/if}{/if}

<small>{translate item='view_video.rating'}:</small><br/><small>
{if $smarty.session.UID eq $UID}<a name="rte" alt="Please only rate videos of other members. Do not rate your own videos." title="Please only rate videos of other members. Do not rate your own videos.">{$rate}</a>{else}{$rate}{/if}

Thanks Alexstorm. Would you be able to change the rating on my site to YouTube style? I'm willing to pay a small fee for that.

Thanks,
Jake

Jake,

Perhaps. What do you want exactly? In ClipShare now, you must be a member to vote and currently the math for votes takes an average of votes and converts to stars. The math is not ideal and could be improved.

With thumbs up vs. thumbs down, the math is easier. You just get a graphic with the number of up and down votes and a slider colored graph.

ClipShare does not offer voting for non-members. The reason is that anyone could vote multiple times and skew the value of a video.

The solution is probably best done with the method Facebook uses. The graph can be done with JavaScript, JQuery or pure css. The number of votes would need an extra sql search query. Did you want something else? Probably best to do a mock up. PM me to send mockups if you like.
