The configuration for Fivestar is spread between the content type settings page, Fivestar site settings page, and access permissions. To configure:

  1. Configure the site-wide setting for Fivestar, Administer -> Configuration -> Content authoring -> Fivestar.
  2. Activate voting on each content type. For example, if you want Fivestar to appear on story nodes, use Administer -> Structure -> Content Types -> Story -> Manage Fields.
  3. Add a new field of type “Fivestar Rating”, and for its widget select "Stars (rated while viewing)"
  4. Enable anonymous voting.
    If you want to allow anonymous voting, you'll need to set permissions for that. Use Administer -> People -> Permissions, and check the "rate content" checkbox for the roles you'd like.
    You'll find these permission items under the "fivestar module" heading.
