Hi Jason,

Excellent work no doubt. Only issue I see and facing is what if tittle of post is same, in that case rating will always be same for both posts. Is there a way we can link with post Id and display post title.

HI All

I managed to fix the NaN error. i had a hunch that it might be the level of service packs fo SPD. i upgraded to SP 2 and all was fine. once again thanks for the Lovely Post!

Hi
Great Post!!! i tried the solution but i still have problems with the first xpath code “(sum(../../../Post_Ranks/Ranking/Rows/Row[@Post=current()/@Title]/@Ranking) div
count(../../../Post_Ranks/Ranking/Rows/Row[@Post=current()/@Title]/@Ranking))”. I’m still getting NaN. i think it has something to do with “@Post=current()” i have checked everything and its in place but i cannot get the xpath to work. Please assist?

Thanks for this! Getting 2010, which will give us this functionality, but a GREAT work-around in the interim. Combined with a document library for a doc rating system.

Dude, your instructions are excellent and it worked great.

Though to go from the ranking page back to the main page the code I used was “http://sp2007sp/brettblog/Lists/Ranking/NewForm.aspx?Post={@Title}&source=http://sp2007sp/brettblog/default.aspx”

Also trying to edit the Post.aspx to insert the Ranking rather than default.aspx and it says “Cannot Render the XSLT in this Dataview”.
Do you have a solution for this? Or it can’t be done?

Could you use this to connect it to a discussion board item instead of a blog?

Hi Jason,

This voting does not work in categories part. it only works with default part.
Any Suggestion?
