Hi,
So I guess that you are calling the view "mini" of the "vote" layout.
What could be done is just use that kind of code instead:
for($i = 1; $i <= $row->hikashop_vote_average_score_rounded; $i++) {
echo '<span class="ui-rating-star ui-rating-full"></span>';
}
for($i = $row->hikashop_vote_average_score_rounded; $i < $row->hikashop_vote_nb_star; $i++) {
echo '<span class="ui-rating-star ui-rating-empty"></span>';
}
To get the "author" value you should just have to use the following code:
echo $row->CUSTOMFIELD_NAME;
// so in your case potentially:
echo $row->author;
