Ratings in slideshows
« on: June 23, 2014, 03:32:36 PM »
I used PM a while ago and now after a hiatus I'm back. I seem to remember that during a slideshow I could see the ratings, and as I changed the rating of a photograph it was updated immediately on the screen. Now I can't see the ratings during a slideshow any more.

Am I remembering a phantom feature, or has this feature been moved / eliminated?

Regards,

You could use the {rating} variable and show it in the text area at the bottom, but there never has been a feature where a "star" appeared on the slideshow.

Hi Kirk!

Thanks. I saw that option and have tried it, but if I then change the rating wihle looking at the slideshow the rating doesn't get updated one  the screen. If it displays a "3 star" picture and I change the rating to 5, the text still reads "3 stars." Is there anything that updates itself as I change the ratings?

No.  The text does not get updated dynamically when you change the rating/tag/color class.
