I am looking to build a site which will list the top 100 albums. I'd like people to be able to vote albums up and down the frontpage.... and yet still have the ranking positions shown
The idea I have come up with is to have hardcoded into the left hand side some custom html which shows the numbers. Each number graphic would be equivalent to the set height of each article. So graphic 1 should line up with the top article, 2 with the next and so on.
left_mod main_content
custom html frontpage articles
1 xxx votes, Sgt Pepper - The Beatles
2 xxx votes, Blonde on Blonde - Bob Dylan
3 xxx votes, Whatever - Whomever
Now should that work then the only thing left to get working is the up/down voting. I see that the frontpage can be sorted by hits popularity. But that is a bit lacking for what I am trying to achieve. I need a graphical representation of the number of votes each album has received.... and in turn for it to be ranked on the frontpage accordingly.
Has anyone else tried doing this sort of thing, or know of a component I could use?
