jReviews :: Customer support forum

Hello. I have a sort of quick question for you that i hope you might be able to help me out with?

What i am interested in is having two ratings in the template, one for a jreviews based default rating, that says it is rated 7/10 and that is calculated based on no modifications whatsoever. However i was also interested in having a True Bayesian Estimate rating within the template as well. The formula for this has been listed below. The question is whilst i can't get everything from this formula, is it possible to call up the number of reviews submitted and the average overall review result within a template, and as such then hardcode this into the template itself so that people can see that it has a more accurate meaning as 8/10 means more based on 1000 reviews than it does based on 2.


People vote for a movie, giving 1 to 10, and then they rank the
movies with this formula, that considers the average of votes
and also the number of votes:


    v               m
------- * R  +  ------- * c
  v + m           v + m


Where:


v = number of votes
m = minimum number of votes to be considered (currently 1250)
R = average "vote" given to the movie
c = average "vote" for all the movies (currently 6.9)
