rating-system

I am trying to implement a star rating system on a Django site. Storing the ratings in my models is sorted, as is displaying the score on the page. But I want the user's to be able to rate a page (from 1 to 5 essentially) without a refresh or change of page. I have found the following, and like the style of the stars here: http://jvance.com/blog/2008/09/22/JQueryRaterPluginNew.xhtml Currently have a limited understanding of javascript and AJAX. Does anyone know how to use the stars in the above example combined with AJAX and Django, so you are able to update the database (models) without a

In my activity I have some Rating bars. But the size of this bar is so big! How can I make it smaller? Edit Thanks to Gabriel Negut, I did it with the following style: <RatingBar style = "?android:attr/ratingBarStyleSmall" android:numStars = "5" android:rating = "4" /> Now, the size is reduced but number of stars and rating do not take effect!!! Why? I have 7 stars that 6 of them is selected. The original link I posted is now broken (there's a good reason why posting links only is not the best way to go). You have to style the RatingBar with either ratingBarStyleSmall or a custom style

I'm very new to web technologies and this is basically for a term project that my team is working on. We are working on a food review site. As of now, I'm not quite sure how to implement a simple 5-star rating system. Am I supposed to use a server-side language like PHP or a client-side one like Javascript (w/ JQuery). Looking around it seems that JQuery is more suitable for this? Or would it be a combination of both? What I'm looking for as far as functionality goes is: Stars light up when mouse hovers Page doesn't have to be reloaded when a star is clicked (not really needed) Some sort of

I need to calculate 5-star ratings like the one on Amazon website. I have done enough search to find what is the best algorithm, but I am not able to get a proper answer. For example, if these are the ratings 5 star - 252 4 star - 124 3 star - 40 2 star - 29 1 star - 33 totally 478 reviews Amazon has calculated this to be "4.1 out of 5 stars". Can anyone tell me how this figure is arrived at? I am not able to get this just by doing average. That's a weighted average, where you weigh each rating with the number of votes it got: (5*252 + 4*124 + 3*40 + 2*29 + 1*33) / (252+124+40+29+33) = 4.11

guys i have made a jquery and css based star rating system. now i cant really think of way as how to save the user vote to database. and most importantly how to limit one user only to one vote. since the number of visitors in the site is huge, i cant afford saving each user's ip to the database. and moreover i don't think it works good because even my ip address itself is dynamic. every time i disconnect and reconnect my internet my ip changes and i am able to vote again. so i don't think this will work. this is what i have thought about saving the votes to the database: ill just save the

I recently created my own blog using Google's Blogger. When I have completed reading a particular book, I have a Book's I Read Section where I would like to have a static 5 Star Rating System in place of some kind. Perhaps with CSS , I can target each book so I will be able to display from 1 to 5 Stars for the visitor to see. I'm not sure how to edit the CSS of individual blog posts so I can target these specific read books, if that's the best method, and would like any tips in creating an image which I could specify how much of the 5 stars should be displayed (like 100% for 5 Stars, 80% for 4
