Single review template – simply change divs position

  • Hi Chris,

    first of all thanks for this useful plugin. I’ve read few posts about creating a custom single review template but I’m not a skilled code. I’m not able to develop a page template from zero. I’d re-arrange the default template simply changing the div position.

    An example:
    Title
    Author
    Rating
    Genre | Series | Subjects

    Review text
    Comment

    As you can see, I’m searching a way to bring ratings and others taxonomy data from the end of the review to the top, just after the title and author of it.

    Is there a simple way to do that? I’m not a coder but I can re-arrange php code.

    Thanks again!

    All the forward-facing markup is in /views/public.php but I wouldn’t recommend hacking the code on its own. Your best bet is cross-referencing that file with the markup of an actual page (so you can see what it’s doing) and then building your own custom template, rearranging the markup the way you want. There isn’t a simple way to rearrange how things are set up, but I will be sure to make the markup more extensible with actions and filters in the future so it’s easier to manipulate that stuff.

    Thanks Chris!
    I’ll try to follow your advice cross-referencing what is listed in /views/public.php.
    My idea is to mix the single.php template of my theme with your code, placing it where I need.

    Just another question: what code section(s) do I get to modify single review page?
    I suppose “Single book review filter”, right?

    Yep, that’s where the code for the individual review is. Obviously your code is going to be different because you’re working on an actual single template, but it should give you an idea of the post meta values you’ll need and how things are currently arranged so you can tweak it for your single template.
