is_rateable

Currently star buttons are a put request, not a post request like they should be due to time constraints. Should be fixed in a future version.

Patches welcome! I do test my own stuff but until I find a nice and easy way to include rspec in plugins, they won’t come with the specs.

Usage

To install, type script/generate rateable

In your model. 
    is_rateable :upto => 5 # it defaults :upto => 5
In your view. 
    render_rating(@book, :interactive_stars)
    render_rating(@book) # If you want to also see 1/5 Stars

If a user rates more than twice, it will delete their older rating and put up a new rating.

Add a method to your books_controller like so: 
    def rate
      @book = Book.find(params[:id])
      unless @book.add_rating(params[:rating].to_i, :ip => request.remote_ip)
        flash[:notice] = "You have already voted on this book" 
      end
      redirect_to @book
    end
