Hi Ppl.. I have known Drupal for only about few months and am very much impressed with it. I am wanting to migrate one of my sites to Drupal(I've already made couple of Drupal based sites).
For doing this i need to have a custom module developed. I have looked around but could not find it anything similar to it.
I need a reviews module, although i can do it with flexinode, book review, or movie review but the problem is i want the rating and recommendation of a product to be calculated based on the number of reviews and individual ratings.. So a particular product can have 'n' number of reviews and and based on that the product is recommended, rated overall on the site.
The site in place www.trustsquare.com has all of it, but i want to have it based on Drupal now, so i can offer the members a better mechanism and more features.
Pls pls pls get back who can help me in this? I would be ready to get a custom module developed for a nominal price, which can be transferred via paypal.
Thanks in advance

Vote/Rate
The voting module might be the solution. This tacks on to anything, such as a flexinode.

When a user places a vote, they get the total votes cast plus the average rating. I think it might match part of what you want.
The flexinode might be the description of the item, and then the users review it via comments to the node?

Clarification
If I understand this right, each "item" has:
1) Rating (that registered users can add to with a five-star voting system).
2) Reviews (that registered users can write).
3) Recommendation (calculated based on the rating AND the reviews).
If this is correct, I agree that Flexinode + Comments + Voting would get you most of the way there. Now you'd just need a way to calculate the recommendation. If it were me, I'd probably do that right in my PHP-based theme. Of course if you're using PHPTemplate (or another theming system) you'd have to go another route.
Also, who posts new items?
BTW, I developed the voting.module, and I'm always trying to improve it and make it even more flexible so feel free to post a feature requests or two if you need something.
Thanks, but this won't suffice.
Thanks a lot for the suggested solution, but its not sufficing my purpose. The reviews itself has a rating, where readers rate the review as useful, not useful types..
I want the reviews to be nodes, and product also as node. How do i form this association and calculate the ratings, recommendation and usefulness of a review??
thx
Might be able to help
I just finished a custom module that it should be possible to adapt to your needs. It allows for rating something on a scale of 0 to N.
Each rating displays a bar-graph with the average rating.
