Fivestar

The Five Star voting module adds a clean, attractive voting widget to nodes in Drupal 5 and 6. Developed by Lullabot and a tentatively officially supported Acquia Carbon project
It features:

  • jQuery rollover effects and AJAX no-reload voting
  • Configurable star sets
  • Graceful degradation to an HTML rating form when JavaScript is turned off
  • Support for anonymous voters
  • Spam protection to keep users from filling your DB with bogus votes
  • Easy-to-use integration with Views module for lists sorted by rating, or filtered by min/max ratings
  • A Fivestar CCK field for use in custom node types
  • An easy-to-use Form API element type for use in other modules
  • Compatible with all versions of jQuery (1.0 - 1.2.1)

Dependencies

This module is dependent on the Voting API. Voting API provides database storage of votes, as well as Views integration. You'll need to download Voting API, and Views is highly suggested if you want to create pages of results or use ratings to sort content.

Fivestar works best with the latest stable release of Drupal 5 or 6. Please make sure you are running the latest copy of your version of Drupal before uisng Fivestar (Drupal 5.6 or higher is strongly recommended).

Call for stars!

In version 1.7, Fivestar introduced configurable star sets for your site. While you can still over ride these stars with your own theme, now you can easily switch between sets of stars included with Fivestar for those who prefer out-of-box functionality.

If you're a graphic designer or have a nice set of stars on your site, we could use more nice sets of stars to include with Fivestar. Simply submit a new issue in the Fivestar issue queue. Please note that your stars must be licensed under the GPL (the FamFamFam icons are Creative Commons licensed, please don't open an issue suggesting to use them).

Designed by Nate Haug and Jeff Eaton of Lullabot.
