Hello everyone ,

I have been trying to understand how I can show my costum fields in the dashboad module.
I want to desplay author,publisher etc in the module.
Is this an easy task and do anyone here have a short description how this is done.
Been looking all over for a this , but no luck :) ...

Another thing is that I want to show starts instead of numbers. I found a clue in the forum, but I can`t find the actuall code in the dashboard module(mod----.php)

The stars should show up if you select it in the module parameters. But there seems to be a bug in the latest version of either the module. I will need to look into this to fix it, rather than have everyone change files. It will take a few days though.

For the custom fields it's easy. Use the field in the module parameters that says: Custom fields [All Modes] to enter a comma separated list (without spaces) of your custom fields (i.e. jr_publisher,jr_author,etc).

Then edit the module's template file mod_jrdashboard.html to add the field tags: {JR_AUTHOR},{JR_PUBLISHER},etc.

Thank you,
but I must admit that editing the hml has not been a sucsess  :-\ .

Where am I suppose to put the tags ?

How has it not been a success. Do you see an error, nothing?

You can put the tags anywhere after the opening tag and before it's ending patTemplate tag.

It was me thatwas not successful :) .

Got it now... just a small issue with placing /aligning the text. It really tried different alignments ..


Please let me know when you have a new dashbard that have a fixed stars :)

Hi Alejandro, Amy here:
I can't get this {JR_AUTHOR} to work.  I put it in the custom fields params, and in the template.  Any ideas for how to show the author of the item? And, while we're at, the created date?

Thanks!

Sorry, author and created date are not available in the dashboard. But the good news is they are in the jReviews 2.0 listings module. Everyone upgrade!
