how to make max stars 10 rather than 5 on rating was created by F0l2saken

I've tried to figure this out for a while and can't figure it out. I want to make the max rating on an article 10 stars rather than 5 stars as I'm going to use flexcontent to write reviews, does anyone know how to do this? 5 Stars just won't work for my application. I've tried looking through some files but can't figure out where to start. I don't need multiple votes as I've read in other posts, just a max vote of 10 rather than 5.

ok.
i share this topsecret to everyone

so, list of files you must change:

1) components\com_flexicontent\controller.php
just replace in 431 string for
if (($user_rating >= 1) and ($user_rating <= 10))
2)components\com_flexicontent\classes\flexicontent.helper.php
.'.$class.' .fcvote ul {height:'.$dim.'px;width:'.(10*$dim).'px;}

some strings below add 5 new strings:

Code:

    				<li><a href=\"javascript:void(null)\" onclick=\"javascript:FCVote(".$id.",6,".$rating_sum.",".$rating_count.",'".$xid."',".$counter.");\" title=\"".JText::_( 'FLEXI_VG1' )."\" class=\"six\">6</li>
    				<li><a href=\"javascript:void(null)\" onclick=\"javascript:FCVote(".$id.",7,".$rating_sum.",".$rating_count.",'".$xid."',".$counter.");\" title=\"".JText::_( 'FLEXI_VG2' )."\" class=\"seven\">7</li>
    				<li><a href=\"javascript:void(null)\" onclick=\"javascript:FCVote(".$id.",8,".$rating_sum.",".$rating_count.",'".$xid."',".$counter.");\" title=\"".JText::_( 'FLEXI_VG3' )."\" class=\"eight\">8</li>
    				<li><a href=\"javascript:void(null)\" onclick=\"javascript:FCVote(".$id.",9,".$rating_sum.",".$rating_count.",'".$xid."',".$counter.");\" title=\"".JText::_( 'FLEXI_VG4' )."\" class=\"nine\">9</li>
    				<li><a href=\"javascript:void(null)\" onclick=\"javascript:FCVote(".$id.",10,".$rating_sum.",".$rating_count.",'".$xid."',".$counter.");\" title=\"".JText::_( 'FLEXI_VG5' )."\" class=\"ten\">10</li>

in \components\com_flexicontent\assets\css\fcvote.css
replace old styles for this:

Code:

.fcvote li a.one{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 10%;
	z-index: 10;
}

.fcvote li a.two{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 20%;
	z-index: 9;
}

.fcvote li a.three{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 30%;
	z-index: 8;
}

.fcvote li a.four{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 40%;
	z-index: 7;
}

.fcvote li a.five{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 50%;
	z-index: 6;
}

.fcvote li a.six{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 60%;
	z-index: 5;
}
.fcvote li a.seven{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 70%;
	z-index: 4;
}
.fcvote li a.eight{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 80%;
	z-index: 3;
}

.fcvote li a.nine{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 90%;
	z-index: 2;
}

.fcvote li a.ten{
	margin: 0;
	padding: 0;
	width: 100%;
	z-index: 1;
}

and in
components\com_flexicontent\assets\js\fcvote.js

document.getElementById('rating_'+id+'_'+xid).style.width=parseInt(percentage*10)+'%';

and (optional) you must add/change some strings in lang file (\language\en-GB\en-GB.com_flexicontent.ini - for English language)

FLEXI_VG1=6
FLEXI_VG2=7
FLEXI_VG3=8
FLEXI_VG4=9
FLEXI_VG5=10

B-T-W you can then modify the module aida news to show a 10 rating rather than 5, I can't remember what line it was, but in the module where it displays the number you put *2 so it multiplies it by 2

Hi all I followed the tutorial to make max stars 10 rather than 5 on rating.

That makes me 10 out of votes, the translation works well and when all goes well vote only one time we update we see that it multiplies the rate under 5 by two.

Example : I put a 4 of 10 in a document that shows good 4 / 10 star but after updating I have an 8 / 10 on this document.
