Fivestar

The Five Star voting module adds a clean, attractive voting widget to nodes. It features:

1. jQuery rollover effects and AJAX no-reload voting
2. Customizable star sets
3. Graceful degradation to an HTML rating form when JavaScript is turned off
4. Per-nodetype configurability
5. Support for anonymous voters
6. Spam protection to keep users from filling your DB with bogus votes
7. Easy-to-use integration with Views module for lists sorted by rating, or filtered by min/max ratings
8. A Fivestar CCK field for use in custom node types
9. An easy-to-use Form API element type for use in other modules

Fivestar was designed by Nate Haug and Jeff Eaton.

Dependencies

• Voting API

Fivestar also provides additional features for both the CCK and Views modules.

Install

Installing the Five Star voting module is simple:

1. Copy the fivestar folder to the modules folder in your installation.
2. Enable the module using Administer -> Modules (/admin/build/modules)

Note: Aggressive caching will complain that Fivestar doesn't work, but it actually causes no problems. To improve performance, the module implements
hook_init() -- and the caching advisor screen uses that as the only metric to determine whether a module will work with the caching system. Activate it without fear, friends -- Fivestar will continue to hum happily along.

Troubleshooting & Testing
