To implement a rating system on each company location using the code provided on the "dillerdesign" website, you can follow these steps:

  1. Add the necessary fields to your company location collection:
  • Open your Webflow project and go to the CMS Editor.
  • Click on the "Company Location" collection.
  • Add a new field called "Rating" of type "Number" to store the rating value.
  • Add another field called "Total Ratings" of type "Number" to store the total number of ratings.
  1. Obtain the rating code from the "dillerdesign" website:
  • Visit the "dillerdesign" website and find the rating code they provide.
  • Copy the HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code provided.
  1. Add the rating code to your Webflow project:
  • In your Webflow project, go to the page where you want to add the rating system.
  • Insert an Embed component into the desired location on the page.
  • Paste the copied HTML, CSS, and JavaScript code into the Embed component.
  1. Customize the rating system code:
  • Modify the code to integrate it with your Webflow CMS.
  • Replace any placeholder values or IDs in the code with the appropriate field names or IDs from your Webflow CMS.
  • For example, replace the placeholder value "companyId" with the Webflow CMS field ID for the company.
  1. Connect the rating system code with the CMS fields:
  • In the JavaScript code, add logic to fetch the "Rating" and "Total Ratings" values from the appropriate CMS fields and display them.
  • When a user rates a location, update the "Rating" and "Total Ratings" fields accordingly using Webflow's API.
  1. Style the rating system:
  • Adjust the CSS code provided to match the design and layout of your Webflow project.
  • Customize the appearance of the rating stars, ratings count, and any other elements as desired.
  1. Publish your project and test the rating system:
  • Save your changes and publish your Webflow project.
  • Visit the page where you added the rating system and test it by leaving ratings on different company locations.
  • Ensure that the ratings are being saved and displayed correctly from the Webflow CMS.

Remember to regularly maintain and update the rating system code as needed. Also, make sure to comply with any relevant privacy or legal requirements regarding collecting and displaying user ratings.
