After following this tutorial, I have managed to build an advanced review and rating system.
The review node casts its votes to the reviewed node, and these votes can be displayed via a custom node-theme. Hurray so
far!!

Now I am looking for the next step, displaying these votes in a views. I would like to build a view that can sort the reviewed nodes on different axis by their rating. I have build one here (http://www.zookah.com/topkites)
Only this views doesn't display the votes of the nodes, the value is 'NULL'

Can anybody write some documentation, or point me to documentation on how to build a view like this?? If someone writes good documentation how to do this in the handbook, it worth $50,- by paypal for the writer!! I have follow the lullabot screencast about views and fivestar, but this handles the 'normal' fivestar, not the advanced cck-thingy

Attached to this issue are these three files:
kite.cck_.txt A CCK-export of the reviewed node (node type 'kite')
Kite review and rating.cck_.txt CCK-export of the reviewing node with a reference to the kite-cck (node type 'Kite review and rating')
top_kites.view_.txt A View-export. Just like this view:http://www.zookah.com/topkites This doesn't work as expected.

Payment done. Maybe you could add the documentation to the book page??

Sure, I am relatively new to the drupal.org community. Is it okay to just add things to that page? or should I get it approved by one of the project managers?

Thanks davedg629! Yes, any one can added or edit any page in the entire Drupal handbook. It would be FANTASTIC if you could add this to the official handbook. You should probably add this as a separate page under the main handbook (http://drupal.org/node/add/book?parent=5498). I was working on adding it but I'm sure what is meant by the introduction: "A simple multi-axis review system can be built following the tutorial located here (see FivestarTutorial.txt)." This page doesn't seem to contain any instructions on how to build a simple multi-axis review system, so if that could be clarified it would be great. Thanks!

I re-organised the two tutorials into one, and made a PDF of it.

Yup, good idea, was thinking the same thing about adding the two tutorials together. I will add this to the book page.

Quicksketch: feel free to review and revise the tutorial.

It could use a little polishing yet, but I think it's a great start. Thanks davedg629 for the writeup! Anyone interested can access it under the Fivestar handbook at http://drupal.org/node/457888

Ah thanks, there was a duplicate node that I deleted, I must have pasted the old URL. Thanks for the update.
