Rating pics - how to change the supported extension?

[Roi Danton]

I've added the line define('THEME_HAS_RATING_GRAPHICS', 1); to my theme to use my own rating graphics. Unfortunately this function only supports the files ratingX.gif but the graphics I'm using are only available in PNG format (the pics have the format png-24, in gif format they have poor quality).

So where can I change the supported extensions?

[Stramm]

function get_pic_data() in functions.inc.php , few lines below case 'toprated':
and in theme.php ... search for $template_image_rating

Thanks.

If someone else is interested to change it, too ... additional to the things Stramm mentioned you also have to change the name/extension in the function html_picinfo() (file displayimage.php).

Solved.

(To devs: Maybe you can change this in further versions ... so that the path is defined within the theme).

Already done for 1.4.x.

No, it isn't done :

displayimage.php
in html_picinfo()

Code Select Expand


$info[sprintf($lang_picinfo['Rating'], $CURRENT_PIC_DATA['votes'])] = '<img src="' . $prefix . 'images/rating' . round($CURRENT_PIC_DATA['pic_rating'] / 2000) . '.gif" align="middle" alt="" />'.$detailsLink;


functions.inc.php
Some lines below function build_caption(&$rowset,$must_have=array())

Code Select Expand


$caption .= "<span class=\"thumb_caption\">".'<img src="'.$prefix.'images/rating'.round($row['pic_rating']/2000).'.gif" alt=""/>'.'<br />'.sprintf($lang_get_pic_data['n_votes'], $row['votes']).'</span>';
In both there is still only .gif as available extension and you have to replace it manually with png.

Btw, "Solved" status should be removed and the thread could be moved to cpg1.4 Support Forums b/c this issues is still present in v1.4.x (I'm using 1.4.8 ).
