Free help is one thing, changing the code for the purpose of only one user is another thing.

And by the way ...
Do you know this text?

I know the text, i give you credits! I changed a few bits and bobs myself as well from my other test site ezauction.pl see: http://www.blitzday.com/cgi-bin/auction.cgi i just want in the end to provide a free service to enthousiastic auctioners like me, read FREE.
But if you want me to change the text just tell me!

but what do you think about the site... would you like to help me to try to get as many users as possible in a as quick amount of time possible.

I see a lot of your scripts here and there all dead or not having a real marketing plan behind it. It would be nice that all the work you did would finally be used by 1000nds or more people right?

Let me know.. I am not going to make money out of this!!! that is not my mission.. please help me?

OK - I like coding and I did this script just for my own fun.
Everybody can use the script - free of any charge.
Everybody can use this forum and can get help - free of any charge.
What can I do more?

Can you imagine how much time I spended in order to code this thing?
Can you imagine how much time I have to spend in order to maintain the forum?

OK - it was my decision to do what I did (and I'm having a lot of fun with it) but I'm not able (and not willing) to start a promotion for each site of everyone who has installed my script.

It's up to each single user to promote his auction by advertising (or whatever).

Sorry - but these are the facts :)

Ok, the solution:

I am not a programmer and there might be better options, but this works for me at this stage.

What do you get:
In the display where you see the feedback number you get to see the name of the person (links directly to email address, have to figure out how to hide this or how to access it after you fill in your password and login name, but that is another story) followed by the number of feedback points (with no ugly line under this number) followed by a star image or what ever you prefer.

What to do:
Find:
#-#############################################
# Sub: Display Item
# This displays an item, its description, and its bids.
# Contributed by: Dieter Werner
#-#############################################

Find in this Sub:

-e "$config{'rating_dir'}/$alias.dat"
? ($rated = (count_rating($alias))[4])
: ($rated = 0);

Enter the following right under this piece of code:

my %fb_icon = (
'1star' => [1, 15],
'2star' => [15, 50],
'3star' => [51, 100],
'4star' => [101, 250],
'5star' => [251, 5000],
);

foreach (keys %fb_icon) {
($rated > $fb_icon{$_}->[0] and $rated < $fb_icon{$_}->[1])
? do {

$rated = qq|$rated&nbsp&nbsp&nbsp<img src="$config{'icon_url'}/$_.gif" border='no'>|;
last;

That should be it, now you can see an Ebay style feedback numer and image. Use for the 1star, 2 star, 3 star etc. your own drawn pictures and use the name you gave them. Save them with extension in the img directory of your auction setup and name them .gif!!

Now change the 1 star etc. in your pictures name without the extention.

For more help, mail me. auction@blitzday.com, I am open for improvements on this coding.

Small correction:

Code:

my %fb_icon = (
'1star' => [1, 15],
'2star' => [15, 50],
'3star' => [51, 100],
'4star' => [101, 250],
'5star' => [251, 5000],
);

my $rating_pic = qq| |;

foreach (keys %fb_icon) {
($rated > $fb_icon{$_}->[0] and $rated < $fb_icon{$_}->[1])
? do {
$rating_pic .= qq|<img src="$config{'icon_url'}/$_.gif" border="0">|;
last;
}
: ($rating_pic = "");
}

Scroll down to the line:

Code:

<a href="$ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'}?action=disprating&dispuser=$alias">($rated)</a>

and replace it with this line:

Code:

<a href="$ENV{'SCRIPT_NAME'}?action=disprating&dispuser=$alias">($rated)$rating_pic</a>

Edit: this forum software is driving me crazy ...
this one
my $rating_pic = qq| |;

must be
my $rating_pic = qq|  &nbsp|;

and this one
$rat ed

must be
$rated

thank you, looks very good, but now the number has the nasty line under it which i hate. So just use the text decoration : none command in html to get rid of that. But thank you again for keeping the format right..
