Change 5 stars rating to 10 star rating in Magento 1.9.x

Question

I want to change how many stars a product rating is out of? Obviously the default is out of 5, I would like to change it to 10.

I want this so that I can output 'half stars' on five stars in the review details for individual rating.

any suggestion are welcome.

Answer 1

You can add in rating_option table but from it may get conflict with already exiting customer ratings and reviews. fields are : option_id rating_id, code, value, position

If you want to install fresh magento script then in set up file.

magento\app\code\core\Mage\Rating\data\rating_setup

You will find for loop in it change it to your digit.

for ($i = 1; $i <= 5; $i ++) {
        $optionData[] = array(
            'rating_id' => $ratingId,
            'code'      => (string)$i,
            'value'     => $i,
            'position'  => $i
        );
    }

But this only works at the time of module installation. You need to change this before set up magento.

Well, there are plenty of extensions out there for star rating (http://www.magentocommerce.com/magento-connect/catalogsearch/result/?q=star+rating&pl=0). Did you had a look if one of them matches your needs?

If not editing the star rating in vanilla Magento is achieved by modifying the respective files.

This might be a little harder since you also need to persist these values. Thus, I suggest that you search for an existing extension that might just do the trick or at least gives you the head start you might need.
