I've been searching for hours, still can't find anything close. What I need is a rating system which shows both up and down counts, like the one on this site:

I'm also looking for a rating system like on urbandictionary.com .
Could not find any module that shows the counts.

Does anybody know how to implement the counts in an existing up down module like "Vote Up/Down"

Thank you. But I've already tried that one, it provides only a digg-like widget, no up/down counts.

Did you have any luck? I'm looking for this same functionality, but for comments, not nodes.

For comment rating check out the http://drupal.org/project/fivestarextra and http://drupal.org/project/comment_modr8 modules.

Using fivestar and view fields for sorting

Posted by aaronnewton on November 4, 2009 at 10:12am

I am in the process of implementing such a system.

First check out http://drupal.org/project/vote_up_down to see if it meets you needs.

Option 2 is to use fivestar to collect voting information, and then use fields in a view to order it based on the average vote (select display type 'fields' and then use the node field within the filters). To do this you may need to enable CCK fields for comments and then create the view to display them - see http://drupal.org/project/nodecomment (it would be great if someone has a way of avoiding this step). You will also need to choose some fields to display in your comment view before you see anything in the preview.

I had a tutorial for exposing fields in views and using them in filters, but I lost it (argh)! It would be good if someone could recommend one.

If you specifically want 'Thumbs Up / Thumbs Down' icons you need to look up making a custom icon set in fivestar. Make an icon set with an 'Up' and a 'Down' thumb. Then in the 5 star settings for your content type (in this case comments - see comments settings) set the number of stars to 2, and set your labels to 'Vote Down' and 'Vote Up'. If you set your view to filter on the fivestar averages (I can't remeber if I set it to averages or percent - I'm pretty sure it's percent), a vote set of of {1,5,5} (average 3.6) will rank lower than a result set of {5,5} (average 5) - hence the vote up/down will work as expected. Don't forget to enable the content type under the fivestar settings.

I hope that blew your mind and made your day.

The easiest way I've found to

Posted by HunterElliott on January 11, 2010 at 4:41pm

The easiest way I've found to implement this is to use the Nero Rating System from polldaddy.com. You will need to sign up for an account there, but you can do this with the basic/free account.

Just log in to your acct at polldaddy.com. Under the Account tab, there will be an item called "Ratings" (at this point in time, it has a 'beta' label on it). Click on Ratings and then click on the button that says Create New Rating. Choose a "Nero" style for thumbs up/down. Give the rating a name that you'll remember - you do NOT need to create a separate rating for everything on your site, you only need to create one, really.

Once you create a rating, it will give you some embed code for your site. Copy this code and put it in your relevant .tpl file. The DIV in the code will have an ID in it - keep the ID, but you may want to give it a CLASS for your own styling. The only line you *really* need to change here is the line that has the Unique ID; here I just plopped in the Node ID for it, but you can put something else text-wise at the front/end/both of it to make sure: "unique_id" : " (use the php tags around the following) $node->nid; "

If you want different images for the thumbs, polldaddy.com gives you the option list an image of your own (you'll need to host the image on your site).

(and no, I am in no way affiliated with polldaddy - just letting people know about it as so many people want to use this kind of thing)

Thank you!
