How to Add a Rating System to Drupal

Adding a rating system to your Drupal content management system is completely optional, but can add an extra punch to your Drupal-based website. Add a rating system to Drupal to give users the option of rating your content five stars.

Instructions

Difficulty: Moderately Easy

1. Visit Drupal's official website.
2. Click on "Download," "Modules" and "Evaluation/Rating."
3. Choose a rating system by reading the release notes, bug reports and "find out more" links next to the numerous rating systems offered.
4. Download the latest version of your preferred rating system module. If you need to download any other corresponding modules, do it at the same time.
5. Unzip and extract the files on your computer.
6. Read any installation files that come with the files.
7. Use the installation files to upload the rating system module into Drupal. Make sure you have your administrator access information handy before you try uploading the rating system module to Drupal.

Tips & Warnings

• Use an FTP client to streamline the process of uploading the rating system module. FTP clients can upload many files simultaneously.
• Be prepared to access the "modules", "content-types" and "access" directory sections of the Drupal.
• When uploading the rating system, you may be asked to overwrite files. Make sure that these files are safe to overwrite without effecting the rest of your Drupal content management system.
• Sometimes, the latest version of a rating system will not work with your version of Drupal. If this is the case, revisit the website and download a version of the rating system compatible with your version of Drupal. Be sure to delete the previously downloaded rating system module from your computer to prevent confusion.
