jReviews :: Customer support forum

I have spent the past few days scouring this site but I am just getting more confused. I'm pretty good at figuring out how to configure compnents, but so far this has been very difficult for me. I don't need any custom fields or anything: the way it is is fine. I just want to move those darn stars!

I think what I'm trying to do should be pretty simple: I basically want to move the overall rating (stars) into a particular area of the content body. for instance:
http://puremagnetik.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=130&Itemid=143

I want to move the overall rating to below the "preview" graphic. I also want to have an "add review" link right next to it. Is this possible without completely dissecting the Jreviews template?

Please I hope someone can help

Yeah, it's set up just fine. It's not activated for any of the categories because it's not displaying the way I want it to look.

Thanks for the offer. I did look at all the tutorials but didn't see anything beyond basic installation.

go here, you can see one item I set up as a test:
http://puremagnetik.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=93&Itemid=143

I really like the layout on your site. I wish I had mine set up so elegantly like that, but if it means restructuring all of the content then I'm afraid that's out of the question.

I originally purchased Jreviews because I read how easy it was to configure. Unfortunately, it's taking up a lot of my time and I don't think I'll be able to use it as I have too many other things to do. Even the default template completely rearranges my content so I doubt it's going to work for me without a lot of time getting over this learning curve. Out of all the compnents I'm using: AEC, CB, JACL etc. this one is by far the most difficult and unintutive to use.

I guess I just have to wait for another soution 

@sexxymarvin: I understand your frustration. I don't know what makes jReviews so difficult for even highly Joomla saavy and computer saavy users in general or at the other end of the spectrum, so easy and straightforward to use. You can see that's the case for a large number of users who have taken the time to write a review at Joomla.org. It seems there's always a turning point after which everything just becomes clear.

As kheruc explained you can't embed the stars in the middle of your text. I haven't seen a picture of what you want to achieve, but the most you could do is float the stars right or left of your text by editing the /jreviews/views/themes/default/listings/detail.thtml theme file. The detail page consists of many information blocks and you need to build your page using these blocks which are all found in the detail.thtml file.
