New Wikidot Rating Module CSS Coding

Wondering how we changed our Wikidot rating module to this one below?…

To start off lets head over to your site manager to get this specific rating module to work properly. Click the "Page Ratings" link on the "Manage Site" side bar like so…

Next, scroll down to the default rating style selection table. Lets just start out with the _default category rating selections, but make sure all the categories that you have rating modules on is the same as the _default category for this to work right…

Make sure the "Type" is selected to "+ only"! As soon as we customize it for the "rate-down" class we will post another tutorial but for now please select "+ only" for this to work right…

Lastly here is the wonderful CSS override so we can get the style of it like this one. You may style your own but this is how we made our CSS code for it. Use this code as a template, also link back to this blog post if you are going to use it.

Here is the code…

Glass Social Icon Set Release

This is our latest icon set design! We also made a .psd file for the complete icon set template so you can make alternate versions of this icon set with ease. There was a .xcf file added as well for people that have GIMP. We strongly recommend using dark backgrounds with this icon set. This is only because it was meant for dark backgrounds.

The lightest background color allowed for this icon set is the (hex color number) #303030. As we were designing our sites background image, we created the icons at the same time. That's why this set is meant for darker backgrounds. This icon set looks wonderful with the background color #151515.

This icon set is licensed under the Creative Commons Attribution 3.0 Liscense.
If you would like to use this icon set in a blog post or more then link back to this blog post, Not the Download link.
Re-Sale or Re-Distribution is prohibited!
This icon set download is NOT to be hosted off another site other than Icondeposit.com.
