Book Rating System

By now, we have a pretty cool system that lets you add books and edit or 0:00 delete them. 0:04 If we go back to our main goal for 0:05 this site, we want to allow a user to vote on a book. 0:07 Very similar to the way Reddit does their voting, 0:11 we're going to set up an upvote and a downvote. 0:13 And also, show the current score of a book. 0:16 I have already set up the database and the styles for you. 0:19 So we just have to write a little bit of code to wire everything up. 0:22 To start this process off, we need to edit our book code from inc book.php. 0:26 Let's add in some arrows and links for easy voting right inside the first div. 0:33 Div class = btn group 0:39 vertical,role = group. 0:45 Link to 1:00 procedures/vote.php?vote=up&bookId=echo 1:02 bookid. 1:15 Span class=glyphicon, 1:24 glyphicon triangle-top, 1:30 and then our score. 1:37 If isset book, score. 1:46 Echo, book, score. 1:56 Else. 2:02 Echo zero. 2:04 Let's duplicate these two lines for down. 2:07 Next, we need to edit our query for the GetAllBooks function to include a score. 2:23 We're going to be using a votes table. 2:35 The votes table is a joining table often called a pivot table 2:38 which relates a book ID to a user ID. 2:42 We'll get into the user ID part of this later. 2:45 For more details about joint, please check the notes associated with this video. 2:48 Select books all, and then we're going 2:51 to some votes.value, As score. 2:57 FROM books. 3:13 LEFT JOIN votes ON books. 3:17 Id=vote.book_id, 3:24 GROUP BY books.id. 3:36 And finally, ORDER BY score. 3:42 This now adds a new value called score that we can get for the book. 3:50 While you're in the functions file., we need to add a new function for 3:56 handling the voting. 3:59 We'll call this vote. 4:04 We're going to pass a bookId and a score. 4:07 We start with the global DB. 4:17 And then we're going to set a user ID to 0 for now. 4:18 Then, we add our try catch block. 4:26 We'll add a simple message. 4:41 Now, for our query. 4:55 We're going to INSERT INTO votes book_id, 4:59 user_id, and value. 5:07 And our VALUES, Will equal bookId, 5:11 UserId, and score. 5:19 Prepare our query. 5:31 And then bind. 5:34 And finally execute. 6:17 Next up is the actual procedure for the voting. 6:20
