or even just by ratings. like how can I list nodes based on rating? I have looked everywhere I swear.

should be either in a view or code your own php function, im pretty sure that this is default if you are using the 5star module

Hi.

After I installed the fivestar module, to see the highest rated blogs on the site I had to create a view. (I'm currently using Drupal 5.x)

I created a view that provided both a "Page" view and a "Block" view.

First, name view. Then, for the page, Provide a URL path and Title. I chose "teaser list" method. Write up a little description to introduce the page. Then go on to your Block View.

For the block, I selected "List View"; then be sure to click on the box that's labeled "[More] Link?"

Under "Filters" You can select which content type you want to list. In my case, "Node: Type" is one of "Blog Entry". You can also filter for those that have already been voted on (to make sure it never lists a node that has not received a rating). I have mine set to only list those blogs that have received at least 5 ratings: "VotingAPI percent vote result (count)" is Greater than or Equals "5".

Next, add your sorting criteria. In my case, I only needed one (since I was only planning on listing the highest rated blogs, in order). "VotingAPI persent vote result (average)" ... Order: "Descending".

Once it's set, you can save and turn to your "Admin>>>Blocks" page to configure the block and set it where you'd like.

Hope this helps!

Views is a contributed module (www.drupal.org/project/views) which has not been updated for Drupal 6.x yet.

I thought I was going crazy. I have just come to drupal form geeklog right at 6.0 and so far everything I've had a problem figuring out on my own has been a mod that's not 6.0 yet hehe.

Sorry, I was hoping you hadn't upgraded to 6.x yet when I wrote in my reply... :(

I'm on Drupal 5.x, but am not planning to upgrade until a few more of the contributed modules I use have been upgraded to be compatible with 6.x (hopefully this Summer).
