Like so many i am tryng to set up a reviewing system with fivestar (this one is for games). I have not been able to find my particular problem in the issue tracker though. Set up is as follows.
I have:
- A content type "game".
- Fivestar is enabled for this content type
- A content type review
- With node reference CCK field, tied to "game" content type.
- With multiple fivestar CCK fields for evaluating various aspects of the game. One of these (overall rating) has voting target "node reference: field_game.

Problem is as follows:
When the game content type's fivestar is set to display as static the last vote received from a review is displayed in the stars, not the intended average. When displayed as a clickable widget (which it should not be because only full reviews are intended to rate games) no votes at all are displayed.

The simple(?) question is, how do i get the static widget to display the average of the votes cast in reviews?

thank you, for your help.

Same issue here.

Update: Still the same with latest Fivestar / Votingapi DEV

Version: 6.x-1.19 » 6.x-2.x-dev

I'll checked the database tables. There are only two results for one content_id at votingapi_cache the value (average) and the count. Question is: does the votingapi get the results correct and stores them wrong or does fivestar deliver them wrong?

UPDATE: the values are not going to be stored in the votingapi_vote in the right way. Only the last values are there. I'll check on a second machine and report back.

UPDATE: I'll checked on a second installation and on a second machine. This feature isn't working in fivestar. Show Stopper

Seems like the review feature isn't working anymore. Checked on 3 sites / 2 different servers with a singel axis voting system.

ok, I had to dig deep into the handbook. There is one sentence at http://drupal.org/node/234681:

IMPORTANT NOTE: if you create a new comment as the same user on the same album, your previous vote will be over-written, not added to. If you wish to test the 'average' function by creating more reviews, you must do so as different users. This behaviour is BY DESIGN. If you don't like it, create a patch and publish it back to the community. =)

There is a lack in clear documentation and there is a lack of option to set how fivestar ratings should be stored, somethin like add or overwrite.

Facing same problem, in Drupal 7 and latest version of fivestar module. The field_user_vote_target in the database is "Null", whenever the vote is caste.

Any reason why the target is always null ?

Sorry, Drupal 6 is end of life, and is no longer supported.
