Best way to implement voting in a Rails application?

Question

What\'s the best plugin these days for implementing voting on a Rails site?

Two I\'m aware of are:

1. vote_fu
2. acts_as_voteable

Answer 1

vote_fu is very outdated and isn't compatible with modern rails distributions (I'm using 3.2.5). Thumbs_up has replaced it form Rails 3.x development. Go with that or either acts_as_votable as they are still being maintained.

Thumbs_up has some extra options like built-in karma tracking.
