The situation right now with "rating / acts_as_rateable" plugins is confusing. As far as I can tell there are three rating plugins, two of which have the same name: acts_as_rateable. They are: acts_as_rateable (juixe version) http://www.juixe.com/svn/acts_as_rateable/ described in popular blog post: http://www.naffis.com/blog/articles/2006/08/31/rails-ajax-star-rating-system This plugin keeps track of ratings by user but is otherwise a bit crude. For instance it seems to manually calcuate averages by retrieving all ratings and doing crude math itself rather than using the AVG() function on the db side. acts_as_rateable (rateableplugin / rubyforge version) http://rubyforge.org/projects/rateableplugin/ This plugin has some more handy methods but does not keep track of user. It is contained in directory "rateableplugin" but calls itself acts_as_rateable. As far as I can tell it is totally unrelated to the plugin above. ratable / acts_as_ratable (sic) http://rubyforge.org/projects/ratable/ Despite the grammar this does not make your model look like a rat. I haven''t reviewed it much yet. It has no README. It also seems to do ratings averages on the app side. Just hoping maybe this post will help someone since I got quite confused looking for a rating plugin. It might be helpful to the community to merge the best features of each of these and deprecate the others. -- Posted via http://www.ruby-forum.com/. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Ruby on Rails: Talk" group.
