But nothing is ever so rigid as to require you do it one way or
another. You could even use the string value to drive your
presentation logic. Using a for loop, you can easily change the
displayed character:
{% for x in make_list object.get_rating_stars %}#{% endfor %}
And later, when you decide to use an image of a star, no code change
is required:
{% for x in make_list object.get_rating_stars %}
<img src="star.gif" ... />
{% endfor %}
I've seen sites that have solid and hollow stars to show 3 out of 5
stars. So you can use the template code like this (assuming a string
such as "***--"):
{% for x in make_list object.get_rating_stars %}
{% ifequal x '*' %}<img src="star.gif" ... />
{% else %}<img src="hollow_star.gif" ... />
{% endfor %}
I would probably rename the method to something like get_rating_string
(), then you can return anything you'd like, "Zowie!" or "***", and
display it however you want to.
