"Reviews" add-on customization

Permalink
Hello,
a couple things:

I was wondering if there was a way for me to change the color of the stars in the add-on "Reviews". I searched for the .pngs and found only a yellow (rollover) star that I changed and it had no effect. So any ideas?! Thanks.

Also, I was wondering if it's possible to make the comment display section into a scroll box instead of having it expand down forever.... or, to display comments elsewhere (on another page, perhaps)

Thanks so much for any thoughts! Much appreciated.

All the best

I would ask your questions in the proper forum to get a better response:

You can also try the Support link from the add-on details page:

You can do a lot with that block. Check out this page where I have replaced the stars with engagement rings.

Oh and the stars.png is in root > concrete > images. Core files, I know, but you can change them there.

Oh wow, "tallacman" very nice work you have done! I am new to this so I wasn't even thinking that advanced. Thanks for the image location. Any ideas on the scrollable comments?

"LucasAnderson", thank you, I will copy this post there as well. I apologize if this forum is not appropriate.

Set the height of the comment area to your max-height an overflow: hidden and it should auto scroll vertically. Also, since the comments don't actually generate new pages I think you'll nee either scrolling of a javascript action like I describe below.


div.guestBook-entry {
   padding: 4px 0 4px 0;
   margin: 6px 0 12px 0;
   position: relative;
   overflow: auto;
   max-height: 200px;
}



Is what I use here:http://www.myweddinglibrary.com/index.php/archives/photographer/cou...

On stage two of this site we'll have the comment truncated after 300 or so characters and then have a javascript *read more* that will expand the box downward.

great! but does that work for the entire comment section rather than each comment? Sorry if I'm being slow.... :)

OH nevermind I figured that out ;) haha so proud of myself for being able to read! lol ok I'm 1/2way there...
