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

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

aaronnewton - November 4, 2009 - 10:12

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.
