Zoo customization

The staging site is a fantastic improvement and they are very happy with it. The missing piece of the puzzle is that they want to edit the submissions so that when someone submits a "deal" (zoo item) they can also RATE/VOTE on the deal to give it an initial rating right their on the submission page. You can see this feature on their old jReviews-based system on their old website by logging in with cgilroy 12345 on the front end (Add New Deal).

The Zoo Rating element does not function this way - it is not included on the submission page for an "initial vote". Zoo expects people to submit content, and then the public can vote on it (standard, makes sense).

So.....basically we would need to make a copy of the Rating element, edit it, and call it something like "Custom Rating". (This custom element would never be overwritten during Zoo updates). NOT edit the native Rating element.
