I'm looking at adding something which will allow my visitors to rate and review bands, something like what they do at IGN. Does anybody know of any plug-in that will achieve anything like this?

Mmmmm, as far as I know there isn't a mod available that does this out of the box.

The downloads/filelibrary mod however has some similar functionality in there, if I'm remembering correctly, but it would require some rebuilding to get it working as a band-review tool. But, it should be doable.

This isn't something Snitz related. Is there anything else out there that could fit the bill?

Actually, the links manager may be something you could look into (www.snitzbitz.com). You'll need to modify it. And although what you're working on isn't Snitz related, this might help.

If you're wanting to use other code as a base to get you started for doing rankings in ASP, look on www.planetsourcecode.com, www.hotscripts.com, and www.aspin.com and search for "rating", "rate", "rank", and "ranking". But, what I found in the past was not very userful.

For those who know, is the SnitzBitz code made from scratch, or did it incorporate the links mod for the rankings?

There is a mod that let users rate a certain topic, maybe that's something for you?

Nearest I've found so far is this but it's all in ASP.NET which is beyond me. Plus, it didn't seem to work on the programmer's own site.

Thats never a good sign... and I recommended the site! Their stuff is usually good...

http://www.asp101.com/ is another site that I've found a fair amount of stuff... or www.planet-source-code.com ...

Well... I think it's called "rate topic mod" and you could probably find it at shnforum.com. If not, let me know and I'll see if I can dig it up. I use it on my forum and it's working fine.

Ok, I'm trying to copy the rating code from topic.asp to another page. It won't work so I tried to find the source with no luck... I'll have a look at my pc at home. I hope I can find it =) It's not showing on a search here, at shnforum.com or on google and I KNOW I didn't code it myself so... =)

Ah, at last! =)

I did a search for "vote" instead of "rate" or "rating" and found it =)

I created a Rating mod for several web sites recently including my forum (Artist/Song Rating) using some clever CSS for the stars and AJAX for the dynamic voting.

Example:

http://www.burningsoulsforum.com/forum/statistics_winamp_member.asp?member=-1&view=1

I've also implemented a version of it here:

http://www.blogbyter.com

It is actually quite easy to implement for something like Topic or Member Rating but you would have to create the code that writes to the database. I can provide the Javascript and CSS that I am using if anyone is interested.

For those of you wishing to create your own project, these are the 2 major sources I used:

CSS Star Rating
http://komodomedia.com/blog/index.php/2006/01/09/css-star-rating-part-deux/

Caching XmlHttpRequest Wrapper

I don't know if I can create that code, but I'd sure like to give it a try if you would let us have a look at your code =)
