Rabid Ratings is an Mootools based star rating solution which comes with hearts instead of stars by default. Most AJAX ratings widgets use star and half-star images with mouse over events on each star. RabidRatings uses a reverse alpha-transparent PNG as a background image to achieve infinitely complex precision (ie, 1.23 stars) and robust visual effects with a very low overhead.
Installing Rabid Ratings is very easy by simply telling the code the database username, password, host address and including a php tag in where we want the ratable item. Rating data is shown in decimals & in heart images Also, the number of votes are displayed too.
Installation is easy—simply tell the PHP script how to connect to your database and include the PHP tag where you want to have a ratable item, and everything else is done for you.
Best of all: it’s free. Install it today and make your boss think you’re brilliant.
