How to manage sorting option?

[romagromov]

Romagromov,
The module is part of the jD v42 release which we expect very soon now.  Like the oither modules it has a  configuration parameter that lets you specify a single cat, multiple cats and all cats.  If a selected Category has sub categories they are also included. 
Of course the search is limited to those Downloads that the user has view Access .

This old issue.
I have many categories. So, I should create many modules for each category - to display top rated items from each category.
Option "Follow current category" in module settings will resolve any problems.
With this option I can create only 1 module.

But my opinion is that it is much better to integrate option "sort by Ratings".

But, as Arno said : "a sort order like top rated or most rated is not possible"

And I know why - it because ratings data placed in separate mysql tables.

So it possible, but too difficult.

Thanks.

P.S. I also can't understand what is difference with mod_jdownloads_top and new special module, which Arno developed...

Hi
Top Downloads module shows which Downloads have been downloaded the highest number of times.
Top Rated module shows which Downloads have the most 'stars'.  So typically those with 5 stars would appear first.
Most Rated  module shows which Downloads have the most votes.

Note that the 'star' is the average rating of all of those who have voted.

Thanks 

So, now only 1 problem is how to make it following current category
