Description

Storing ratings is a pretty common task when building web applications with a community-based focus. Ratings can have names and values associated with them. This plugin demonstrate a simple way to manage what ratings can be used and how they are persisted.

Usage

Note that this is a reference implementation and, most likely, should be modified for your own usage.

Example

  user = User.find(1)
  video = Video.find(1)

  video.ratings.create(:rater => user, :value => 'poor')

• plugin_test_helper[http://github.com/pluginaweek/plugin_test_helper]

To run against a specific version of Rails:

Dependencies
