Star rating nightmare - remove small stars

Once you remove the star rating system you still have some small stars on the Photo Gallery Block as well as some other areas of your site, they are small stars below photo thumbnails that are displayed with div-class "galleryRate"

Where can I find this code to remove it? TYIA

<div class="galleryRate">

any ideas how to remove the stars located underneath the thumbnail images?

just tell me the file name and I'll figure it out..

thank

inc/classes/BxDolSharedMedia.php

line 447 try commenting it out with //

have a play ;)

kosmic you had me jumping for joy.. then I tried it =(

I commented out

//   
$oVoting = new BxDolVoting ('g'.$this->sType, 0, 0);
$oVoting->deleteVotings($iFile);

that didn't work

so I also removed both statements that contained

getSmallVoting

Then I removed them and the site wouldn't even pull up..

Back to square one... no?

this will fix it..

change

$sShowRate = '<div class="galleryRate">'. $sRate . '</div>';

to

//$sShowRate = '<div class="galleryRate">'. $sRate . '</div>';

thanks kosmic

your welcome

1) go to: /public_html/templates/base/css

2) comment out all the "background-image:url"s (see below)

- to comment out in css, use /* */, e.g. /*whatyouwantcommentedout*/

- sample below....

}
.votes_gray_big
{
height:32px;
/*background-image:url(../images/vote_star_gray_32.gif)*/
}
.votes_gray_small
{
height:16px;
/*background-image:url(../images/vote_star_gray_16.gif)*/
}

.votes_active_big, .votes_active_small
{
position:absolute;
top:0;
left:0;
z-index:1;
}
.votes_active_big
{
height:32px;
/*background-image:url(../images/vote_star_active_32.gif); */
}
.votes_active_small
{
height:16px;
/*background-image:url(../images/vote_star_active_16.gif); */
}

Rats, you beat me to what I was going to tell them to do.  Keep in mind, while the above will work, it will still have the browser creating the item, just not showing it as the css file only controls the layout/appearance of the page.  editing the php file will in the end fully remove the item, thus it will reduce server load (saving you resources) and remove the need for the browser to create something and then hide it, thus speeding up the load time of the page on the endusers end.

Thank you, mydatery for the extra info.

I failed to mention the exact file location....
