What file/code do I need to change in order for the "rate this picture" option to appear above the actual photo. www.slutgers.com/pictures to see what I mean (the users are too lazy to scroll down to rate our photos, 5000 views vs 40 votes)
Please answer idiot proof format, because I are idiot.
Thanks
You need to edit themes/your_theme/theme.php.
Look for the line '// HTML template for the image rating box
$template_image_rating = <<<EOT'
shown here is the default theme code, but other themes will have different formatting.
// HTML template for the image rating box
$template_image_rating = <<<EOT
<tr>
<td colspan="6" class="tableh2_compact"><b>{TITLE}</b> {VOTES}</td>
</tr>
<tr>
<td class="tableb_compact" width="17%" align="center"><a href="{RATE0}" title="{RUBBISH}"><img src="images/rating0.gif" alt="{RUBBISH}" border="0" /><br /></a></td>
<td class="tableb_compact" width="17%" align="center"><a href="{RATE1}" title="{POOR}"><img src="images/rating1.gif" alt="{POOR}" border="0" /><br /></a></td>
<td class="tableb_compact" width="17%" align="center"><a href="{RATE2}" title="{FAIR}"><img src="images/rating2.gif" alt="{FAIR}" border="0" /><br /></a></td>
<td class="tableb_compact" width="17%" align="center"><a href="{RATE3}" title="{GOOD}"><img src="images/rating3.gif" alt="{GOOD}" border="0" /><br /></a></td>
<td class="tableb_compact" width="17%" align="center"><a href="{RATE4}" title="{EXCELLENT}"><img src="images/rating4.gif" alt="{EXCELLENT}" border="0" /><br /></a></td>
<td class="tableb_compact" width="17%" align="center"><a href="{RATE5}" title="{GREAT}"><img src="images/rating5.gif" alt="{GREAT}" border="0" /><br /></a></td>
</tr>
EOT;
Now move all the above to be immediately above this;
// HTML template for intermediate image display
$template_display_picture = <<<EOT
I tried what was suggested but it didnt work. I'm using my own theme 'slutgers' but I simply copied the water_drop theme and made minor alterations (i.e. the header html).
I even tried to change those lines of code in the theme.php files of both directories thinking it might possibly reference the wrong directory, but it didnt work.
I also tried to move the voting to the top of the entire page, and that didn't work either.
Do you have any other suggetions?
Thanks for your help.
You need to open your theme.php, and move the block:
starttable();
echo $picture;
endtable();
to just below the block:
if ($votes) {
starttable();
echo $spacer;
endtable();
starttable();
echo $votes;
endtable();
}
