Simple Django application for adding Youtube like up and down voting.
pip install django-updown
Add "updown" to your INSTALLED_APPS. Then just add a RatingField to
your existing model:
from django.db import models
from updown.fields import RatingField
class Video(models.Model):
# ...other fields...
rating = RatingField()
You can also allow the user to change his vote:
class Video(models.Model):
# ...other fields...
rating = RatingField(can_change_vote=True)
Now you can write your own view to submit ratings or use the predefined:
from updown.views import AddRatingFromModel
urlpatterns = patterns("",
url(r"^(?P<object_id>\d+)/rate/(?P<score>[\d\-]+)$", AddRatingFromModel(), {
'app_label': 'video',
'model': 'Video',
'field_name': 'rating',
}, name="video_rating"),
)
To submit a vote just go to video/<id>/rate/(1|-1). If you allowed users to
change they're vote, they can do it with the same url.
