Hi all, I'm trying to code a custom block which will do the following:

- search through all reviewed nodes
- choose the nodes that have a rating of 7 or higher
- display either (a) some details about one random node from this filtered list, or (b) a bulleted list of node titles, linking to the corresponding nodes

I'm not much of a coder but I might be able to figure it out with some direction. I can't even figure out where this numeric score is saved in the tables. :(

Application: I want to use this block to display items from amazon nodes that have a high nodereview rating, either as a single image, or a list of 5 links. The amazon module has a recommended books feature, however, it only searches those books rated using the amazon module.

Use Views to do this. Is you go into administer > views there are all sorts of custom pages, listings and blocks you can create. Just play around with it.

Not as easy as it sounds, especially for those of us who are new to this and find things a little cryptic.

Now getting errors attempting views, closing this discussion and moving it to the views module.
