You have misspelt rating_avg - if you copied and pasted the above post from your page then this is probably causing the error

Well i have only just received this module but I think to order by a custom field you need to edit the mod.weblog.php file and install the extension hook inside the extensions folder - that is about all I can suggest - good luck though

There is a readme file contained in the extensions folder within the module pack - have you read through this? It tells you exactly what to do in order to display by custom fields

OK, let’s take a look at cour code

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="my_weblog" oderby="ratign_avg" limit="15"}
Content
{/exp:weblog:entries}

Even with the spelling error taken into account (thanks for catching that one, joelene), you are not using the rating module at all: you are, in fact, trying to use a parameter in the exp:weblog module. I am little unclear what exactly you are trying to achieve, but if you want to simply order by rating, from higest to lowest, you could try something like this:

{exp:rating:rankings form_name="formname" precision="1" thousands="," fractions="." limit="15" }

Let us know if you had something else in mind. A good look at the docs should make this much clearer to you.

here is my original code from my page

<?php
if('{segment_4}'=="view_count")
        $sorting_criteria="view_count_one";
else if('{segment_4}'=="rating")
        $sorting_criteria="rating_avg";
else
        $sorting_criteria="entry_date";
?>

</tr></table>
</div>

<div>

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="content" limit ="5" username='{segment_3}'  orderby="<?php echo 'view_count_one'; ?>"}
       {if no_results}
                <div class="generalWindow">There is no post from this user <br /> <br /> <br /></div>
       {/if}
              {embed="site/list_entry" cur_unique_id="{unique_id}" cur_url_title="{url_title}" cur_title="{title}" cur_description="{description}" cur_entry_id="{entry_id}"}
  

<?php
echo "{paginate} <p> Page {current_page} of {total_pages} pages {pagination_links}</p> {/paginate}";
?>
    

    
{/exp:weblog:entries}

you can look at this page http://www.guerrillapost.com/ee/index.php/site/user_post/admin/

in this page i am trying to show post of user as {segment_3} and sorting criteria as {segment_4} ...... if {segment_4} is empty it sorts by entry_date now my
sorting is okay with entry_date and view_count_one (you know with exp:weblog:entries tag) but i want to do it for rating_avg too............

let me know i am clear is there any other confusion.........

I am sorry, but it’s not going to work like that. If you want to make use of the Rating module, you must use its tags, and not the weblog module. The weblog module can sort by date, or view_count_one, but not rating_avg, so you will have to break this up somehow.

Well, something like this, perhaps:

{if segment_4 == "view_count"}
  {exp:weblog:entries weblog="content" limit ="5" username='{segment_3}'  orderby="'view_count_one"}
    ...
  {/exp:weblog:entries}

{if:elseif segment_4 == "rating"}
  {exp:rating:rankings form_name="formname" precision="1" thousands="," fractions="." limit="15" }
    ...
  {/exp:rating:rankings}

{if:else}
  {exp:weblog:entries weblog="content" limit ="5" username='{segment_3}'  orderby="'entry_date"}
    ...
  {/exp:weblog:entries}
{/if}

Hey Ingmar,
I was trying to do something similar, but because the exp:rating:rankings tag doesn’t parse related entries I’m back to trying the extension. FYI, that would be a case where the exp:weblog:entries would be used over the exp:rating:rankings.

Which extension would that be? It’s true though, Tag 1.1.6 does not handle related entries natively.
