Implementing rating block in theme

    First of all thanks for the amazing plugin!

    I was trying to implement ratings in my theme using the following code:

    <?php gdrts_posts_render_rating(
    array(‘echo’ => true)
    ); ?>

    This echoes the whole rating block. My question is, how can I alter the information echoed within the rating block? For example, I’d like to remove texts such as “Rating: 4.0, from 134 votes.” and organize the rest of the information in a different way.

    Many thanks in advance!

    Plugin uses templates to render everything, and you can add new templates or replace existing through your theme. Check out the knowledge base for more information:

    Thanks for the answer. ?? I went through the code and was able to figure a few things out, but some parts of the star rating can’t be modified, not even through the template files.

    Take this bit of code for example, it is from a rating template and it seems to be responsible for the rating text rendered below the stars. I know a tiny bit of PHP, but unfortunately I have no idea how to alter it. 

    <?php

            if (gdrtsm_stars_rating()->loop()->has_votes()) {
                gdrtsm_stars_rating()->loop()->render()->text();
            } else {
                _e("Np ratings.", "gd-rating-system");
            }

            ?>

    Thanks a lot once again! ??

    Well, deeper customizations will require more PHP/WordPress development knowledge. Right now goal is to allow easy templates modifications, but some parts of the rating block need to be rendered according to some rules. When I get time, I will create some more tutorials on how to modify rendering of text and use different data from rating objects.
