Like/Dislike OR Thumbs Up/Down

[eluser]HSKrustofsky[/eluser]
I am working on a website where videos will be displayed. The customer wanted a like/dislike or thumbs up/down feature in order for a visitor to review the video. How a would I go about doing it?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

Create a db record for each video. Create a link for a video id that will either increment the vote up or down.

Have you tried anything? Or are you just looking for someone to do it for you?

If it's the former, maybe you can tell us what you've tried, and we can go from there.

@nocturm:
No I don't need, nor want, for anyone to do it for me. Just wanted to see if anyone could gear me on where, or how, to start. I saw on Google about possibly doing it with jQuery. Any suggestions?

There are a lot of cool jQuery rating plugins out there. jQuery will make anything better.

Haven't seen one. But it sounds like it would be very simple to make.

No I don’t need, nor want, for anyone to do it for me.

Then try and ask your question by showing what you've already tried, or at least thought of.

I saw on Google about possibly doing it with jQuery.

jQuery is fine <b>after</b> you've built the server side code.

Things you need to consider:

* Do users need to be logged in?
* Where/how will I store these votes?
* How many times can an user click on a button?
* Can users click on both buttons?

Think about these questions and you'll get somewhere. If you're stuck then come back with something to show.

Good luck,
