Only I want to be able to vote a score

natichief

I was wondering, is there a way that only I could vote for articles? I want to use it as a rating system for reviews, and not a rating system for articles, so i want to be the only one able to chose the score.

edit:
I'll use this post to ask another question,
is there a way I could translate parts of the site myself? I used a different language pack, and sadly, many parts, the forums included, are still in English.

Is it possible for me in any way to translate it by myself?

Thank a lot.

Sorry but your question is not clear at all , could you post some website example already doing this ?

Of course you can translate

You should edit appropriate language .ini file positioned in /languages/xx-XX/ folder

for example /languages/en-GB/com_content.ini to translate articles text

Hope it helps

First of all,
thanks a lot for the quick reply!

Secondly, about the first question, I'll try to make myself clearer:
Currently, anyone who reads an article can vote, rating the article itself anywhere from 1 to 5 stars. I want to deny this option from users, and to be the only one who could vote.

Why?
Because this way I could write a review about a game, and decide to give it 4 out of 5, for example, and that way it will show up top my vote, and not everyones.

the up top score of a review I'm talking about:

Or, as an alternative,
just a way to disable the vote system entirely, and just a way of being able to score the product I review.

Thank you,
Nathan.

Hope it's fine, didn't want to open another topic since mine's the last, so I'll just ask a couple more questions in this one.

I would like to change the default article font.
Correct me if I'm wrong, I believe it's currently Tahoma, and I would like to change it to Arial, 12pt. Where could I change it?
I decided I don't want the score system, so I went to:
Extensions > Plugins > 'Content - Vote', and changed the status to 'Disabled'.
For the most part it solved my problem, now in the home page the score that appeared on articles is gone, but when I enter an Article defined as 'review', I can still see it showing inside:
http://oi64.tinypic.com/2poeiz5.jpg

I would like to know how could I make it disappear.

I'm aware that both my questions are not solved by built-in administrator options, but through css probably, yet it's not my strong side, therefor, I am here asking for your help and guidance. 🙂

Thanks a lot,
Nathan.

Hi natichief

1) To change default font you can change have a look at THIS PAGE

2) You can add to your custom.css

.category-module.latest-reviews .article-img .rating-score {
display:none;
}

Hope it helps

Which custom.css?
Is there a custom.css inside the back-end editor, or should i create one myself inside the css folder?
