Separating Reviews

Wow, those are some long reviews! Anyway, the way to change that would be to edit reviews.tpl. It's hard to be more specific than that without seeing your skin's reviews.tpl, so it would be excellent if you posted it.

Hi Lyndsie,

I don't see a reviews.tpl  (maybe I'm looking in the wrong place?). It would be found in my file manager, right?

I see a viewstory.tpl and a review.php but not .tpl

So, where does that leave me?

Actually, after looking at it, you might want to work with reviewblock.tpl instead of reviews.tpl. It somewhat depends on your style.css. Anyway, it's totally normal for a given skin to be missing a specific file, because in that case it defaults to the one in default_tpls, which is this:

default_tpls/reviewblock.tpl:

<!-- START BLOCK : reviewsblock -->
<div class="listbox">
<div class="content{oddeven}">
<span class="label">Reviewer: </span>{reviewer} <span class="label">{member}</span> {rating} {reportthis}<br />
<span class="label">Date: </span>{reviewdate}
<span class="label">Title: </span>{chapter}
<p>{review}</p>
{adminoptions}
</div>
</div>
<!-- END BLOCK : reviewsblock -->

Come up with a new CSS class that does what you want, stick it around the contents like where listbox is, and you'll be golden.

Hi Lyndsie,

Thanks for helping, one thing...I pretty much got everything you stated except, do I change listbox or do I put whatever under listbox? I just want a box around each review.  Is there a specific class command for that? Well, I'm figuring it is; I just don't know what it is. *lol*

ETA: I figured it out. Thanks a lot for your help.

Excellent. And I can't believe I forgot to make this clear, but make sure not to change the file in default_tpls. Make a new reviewblock.tpl and put that in your skin folder. Elsewise you could have trouble if you ever use other skins.
