Rabid Ratings is an excellent Mootools based star rating solution which comes with hearts instead of stars by default.

Installing Rabid Ratings is very easy by simply telling the code the database username, password, host address and including a php tag in where we want the ratable item. Rating data is shown in decimals & in heart images Also, the number of votes are displayed too.
