EE 1.7+ is not compatible with this add-on at this time, this will be looked into as soon as possible.

## INSTALLATION WITHIN EE

 
• Unzip and upload the folder system/expressionengine/third_party/font_awesome_star_rank/ to your /system/expressionengine/third_party/ folder.
 
• Upload the folder themes/third_party/font_awesome_star_rank/ to your /themes/third_party/ folder.
 
• Go to Add-Ons Fieldtypes and click Install next to the fieldtype Font Awesome Star Rank
 
• Add the fieldtype to your channel field group that you want to include a star rating with font awesome output

## OUTPUT WITHIN TEMPLATES

Font Awesome’s CDN link is now included with this Add-On’s complementary Plugin

If you do not already have Font Awesome loaded within your site, you can easily include the following tag to quickly load Font Awesome within your site:
{exp:font_awesome_star_rank_css}

To output your ratings, simply include your fieldtype name, i.e.; {my_star_rank_field_name}, inside the regular Channel Entries loop within any template you wish to include the ranking. The stars will automatically be output within a span container called ‘font_awesome_star_rank’ (i.e.; <span class=“font_awesome_star_rank”> ***** </span>) and can be styled accordingly with your local CSS file. Here is an example that will results in gold/yellow stars on your web site:

/*Star Ratings*/
.font_awesome_star_rank {
text-align:center;
margin: 0px auto;
padding:0px;
width:120px;
position: relative;
font-size:20px;
color:#e9b31b;
color: rgba(233,179,27, 0.8);
text-shadow: 1px -4px 6px #fff, 0 0 0 #000, 1px 4px 6px #fff;
}
.font_awesome_star_rank i {padding:0 .5px;}
