The application handles users and objects, users rate objects with 3 features (one rate per feature). EDIT: the last sentence is unclear : by features I mean criterias shared by all the objects How efficiently design a database for such a system ? What are the best-practices for designing a database dealing with a rating system ? wha...
It occurs to me (as I'm reviewing some old code) that there may be a standard way of rating code smells and I'm just not familiar with it. To be clear: I'm familiar with a few taxonomies of code smells, what I'm looking for is a standard rating system for code smells. (Where one would be able to fairly objectively state that one piec...
I'm building a website where users may register and create shopping guides. I want to award them points for creating shopping guides, adding stores and adding brands. It will also be possible for other users to rate the shopping guide. I'm considering to award the owner of the shopping guide more points, if the guide is rated high. But...
I was thinking of implementing a thumbs system, but mine would require a registration thus ruling out the possibility of people voting more than once unless they create a new account to do so. So I was wondering about Urban Dictionary's thumb system. How does it work? I would imagine that my IP would be stored in a database, so people wo...

Thanks for your help! $(function() { $('.star-one').live("click",function() { $("#rate_result").html('1'); $("#star1").html('<img src="http://larsonreviews.com/rating/star_ena.gif" borde...
Let's say you're designing the DB schema for the next stack overflow and more specifically the part of the schema that handles question ratings. I assume you'd use a table like: ratings(question_id, user_id, rating) ... that will both record ratings and make sure no user votes twice on the same question. That table alone could handle r...
Is there a way to pass parameters with a link_to call without it showing up on the URL? I'm making a simple star-rating system, and I'm basically making each star an image link that passes its value as a parameter to a new rendering of the same page. The helper code looks like this: def stars_generator(edit_mode = false) @rating = pa...
I'm very new to web technologies and this is basically for a term project that my team is working on. We are working on a food review site. As of now, I'm not quite sure how to implement a simple 5-star rating system. Am I supposed to use a server-side language like PHP or a client-side one like Javascript (w/ JQuery). Looking around it...
I'm trying to develop an alternative rating system for athletic results. We're all aware of the traditional first past the post rating system for races. Think of the 100m final in the Olympics. First gets gold, second silver, etc. This system only benefits the top three. In my system, there is a series/league of races, where all eight ...

I am about to embark on a new project - a video website. Users will be able to register, and vote on videos by clicking "like" or "dislike", or something to that effect. In any event, it will be a 2-option voting system, not a 5-star system. Every X number of days, I will be generating a "chart" of the most popular videos. So my questi...

Hello, I would like to know what is the best approach to storing product ratings in a database. I have in mind the following two (simplified, and assuming a MySQL db) scenarios: Scenario 1: Create two columns in the product table to store number of votes and the sum of all votes. Use columns to get an average on the product display pag...

I am working on an algorithm to score individual players in a team-based game. The problem is that no fixed teams exist - every time 10 players want to play, they are divided into two (somewhat) even teams and play each other. For this reason, it makes no sense to score the teams, and instead we need to rely on individual player ratings....
I'm implementing a rating system to be used on my website, and I think the Bayesian average is the best way to go about it. Every item will be rated in six different categories by the users. I don't want items with only one high rating to shoot to the top though, which is why I want to implement a Bayesian system. Here is the formula: ...
