Cannot vote in CCK Field?

I am also requesting that the 5star CCK field be capable of anyone voting on the node. I have a need for both a general and a specific rating on certain nodes.

Also the CCK fields need views integration: they don't show up in the filter fields or sort fields.

i need this also

See the features requests section for patches relevant to anonymous voting.

You don't use the Fivestar CCK Field in Views to sort/show rating. You use the VotingAPI Field.

"You don't use the Fivestar CCK Field in Views to sort/show rating. You use the VotingAPI Field."

I have a few Fivestar CCK fields in a custom node and am trying to sort it without success.

Using VotingAPI doesn't work. Looking into the VotingAPI table in it, I didn't see anything in it.

I realized that I use the votingapi field. Originally the Voting API fields were'nt showing up in the view edit. Now it seems to work...sort of. Sometimes it disappears when I edit the view, and I have to delete and re-add it. I believe this is because the view edit page doesn't fully load sometimes. It is currently unstable when making changes to views, but usable. This is probably not a fivestar issue at all, but a views and/or votingapi issue or an issue with my hosting service stopping before fully loading the view edit page.

I still have a desire to get fivestar ratings by the community (not just by the author) on cck fields. I have tried a patch which didn't work for me. I have another post for this on issue #126681

Download the latest Dev Version of 5star and use the "smart" stars. You will see what I mean once you download it. Click " View All Releases" on the 5star page.

This request has gotten a little out of hand. I think the original request is to let any user use a CCK field to vote on a node, which isn't the purpose of the CCK implementation. You can use the direct rating widget to let end-users vote directly on nodes.

Somehow views integration ended up in this issue also. If still experiencing problems with views, please open another support request with a more specific description to prevent this sort of fragmented discussion. Thanks!
