Is there any way to use a rating system of 1 Points to 10 Points either with stars or with a drop down of numbers from 1 to 10 ? 

We have created a Custom Field With a Name "Points" so that Voters can give a point when voting a photo.

But that custom field is editable only in entry of a photo. It is not editable while voting .. :(

 

Our Customer wants Voters to give Points to every entry while voting, and at the end, all points from all Voters will be calculated as totals to determine the winner photo entry ..

Can this feature be achievable with Custom Fields ?

Thanks in advance

Hi Adem,

We are sorry, but there is no 1 to 5 or 1 to 10 point system at the moment. The component operates with one point system (vote or unvote).

Actually, you do not need to change your rating codes.
if you add custom fields' usage on votes table and our List Type Custom Field
(with name : Points (1 yo 10) drop down type )
become editable on votes form, when voting Voter can select from 1 to 10 from that field,
and The selected value is saved to Votes table ,
It is enough for us for now. 

You do not need to change your voting mechanism, Just separate custom fields' usage between Entry table and Votes table ..

If you do this, your component will perfectly fit in our need ..

Thanks in advance.

You are messing two different base concepts with two different purposes. Fields are not for the actions, but for displaying information. And it is not only to record value to the votes table. You will need to calculate the average value and to display it.

Of course also to design a smooth looking rating button (like stars) and make it record the value. BTW a star rating comprises of stars with the amount usually at a maximum of five. 

Kind regards,

Dmitrijs
