I am making a voting / rating application. I am working on the following query:
SELECT
cartoons.reference,
cartoons.cartoon_title, cartoons.date_added,
IFNULL(AVG(ratings.rating), 0) as 'average_rating' FROM
cartoons INNER JOIN ratings ON
cartoons.reference = ratings.content_reference
WHERE ratings.content_type =3 ORDER BY
cartoons.cartoon_title ASC
I only get 1 result because IFNULL(AVG(ratings.rating), 0) is giving me
the result of all the ratings every submitted where ratings.content_type
=3. The '3' is symbolic of cartoons.
What I am wanting to do is show on the web page a list of all the cartoons and their current rating.
In my ratings table I have a content_type column to know what area of the web site is being voted of
(3 for cartoons) and I have content_reference which referrs to the auto_increment value of
cartoons.reference. How do I be more specific with the AVG so I will get a rating for each cartoon
in the table?
