karldesign Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I have two tables, tbl_places and tbl_places_ratings The problem I have i this. I am trying to retrieve the highest rated places from the places table, using the ratings table. However, there are multiple ratings for each place. ie: 1 place can have many ratings. I want to calculate the rating total and then output the list ordered by rating high/low depending on my choice... any ideas? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pikemsu28 Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 i would set up a view that averages the ratings from the ratings table with the id to the places table. this way you can just do a search from the view and get a 'top whatever' list according to the averages.

Illusion Posted September 21, 2007 Share Posted September 21, 2007 I want to calculate the rating total and then output the list ordered by rating high/low depending on my choice... any ideas? You can be more specific on this, what I understand is you want to sum the rankings of each id and order with that total. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
