Replace tag with image

How about the “Star Rating for Reviews” plugin?

Michael

Thanks but I don’t want to use a plugin. I want to use tags. I know this is possible, I just haven’t a clue on how to go about it.

instead of your line:

<?php echo get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'rating', 'Rating: ', ', ', '' ); ?>

try and use:

<?php $terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'rating');
foreach($terms as $term) {
echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/images/rating-' . $term->slug . '.jpg" alt="" />';
break; //remove this line if you want to show any possible number of tags
}
?>

assuming that you have created images rating-1.jpg to rating-5.jpg
and saved them in the /images folder of your theme.
also assuming that the slugs of your taxonomy tags are 1 to 5.
and further assuming that you only want to show the first of the tags.

Thank you so much! You are amazing!

Ok now what I would like to do is output different text per rating. That wouldn’t be hard except, I’m using one taxonomy (Rating) for multiple post types.

So, what I would like to do it output different text per rating for each different type of post type. Sounds confusing probably but hopefully I can explain.

So a Rating of 2 for a book review, I would like to output something like “Not recommended. If you must, borrow it!” where if it was a Rating of 2 for a movie review, I’d like to output “Don’t pay to see it in a theatre but okay to rent”.

Here is what I have that IS WORKING but I feel like there is a better/fasterr way. Is there?

function get_rating () {

$terms = get_the_terms($post->ID, 'rating');
$type = get_post_type();

foreach($terms as $term) {

echo '<img src="' . get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/images/rating-' . $term->slug . '.png" alt="Rating" />';

	if ($term->slug == "1") {
		if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Waste of time and money.";}
		elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "Waste of time and money.";}
		else { echo "";}
	}	

	if ($term->slug == "2") {
		if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Not recommended.";}
		elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "Not recommended.";}
		else { echo "";}
	}	

	if ($term->slug == "3") {
		if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Toss up. Rent it if you must!";}
		elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "A decent read.";}
		else { echo "";}
	}	

	if ($term->slug == "4") {
		if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Must see but not worth owning.";}
		elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "Must read but you probably won't read it again.";}
		else { echo "";}
	}

	if ($term->slug == "5") {
		if ($type == "movie_review") { echo "Must watch and buy!";}
		elseif ($type == "book_review") { echo "Must read and buy! You will read it again. ";}
		else { echo "";}
	}	

break; //remove this line if you want to show any possible number of tags

}

}

Any help is appreciated ?? Thanks in advance!

How did it go? Did it work out?
