question regarding article ratings

[Teerod]

I was curious as to how you disabled ratings for news articles for the front page (the five star system) After looking through the admin panel for a full day I can't seem to come up with a solution. Thanks.

I'm sure You won't be able to find it in the admin panel

I had a quick search on google and it looks as if changes have to be made to the module to disable it.

I'm sure Tanduy will be able to tell us if this is correct or not when he logs in.

Sorry I can't be of any help but Tanduy may be able to do something........he likes playing with these things    :playfull:

Hi Teerod,

About "News" modules, you can Attach the Poll to these articles.
If not, it will show "Article Ratting" as you see :smiley-wink:
It's defaulted to vote and calculate average score for each article.
Do you really want to disable it? :smiley-tongue-out:

Depending on how difficult of a task it is to disable, it is up to you. If it is something you can do in a few minutes (yes) but if it requires major effort on your end, no need. The issue is most those that use the rating purposely underscore my submissions, my core site supporters do not even use the feature.
