Acts As Rateable

This plugin allows rating on models. It's a fork from the original plugin developed by Juixe Software to work with newer versions of Rails. The API has changed slightly. See the credits section for a link to the original code.

Installation

Install the plugin:

    ./script/plugin install git://github.com/r0man/acts_as_rateable.git

Usage

Create a migration:

   ./script/generate acts_as_rateable

Make your model rateable:

  class Article < ActiveRecord::Base
    acts_as_rateable :range => (1..5)
  end

  article = Article.create(:text => "Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet.")
  alice, bob = User.create(:name => "alice"), User.create(:name => "bob")

  article.rate(1, alice)
  article.rating # => 1

  article.rate(2, bob)
  article.rating # => 1 (cached)
  article.rating(:force_reload => true) # => 1.5

Look at the tests to see more examples...
