    <p>I am attempting to implement the <a href="https://github.com/bouchard/thumbs_up" rel="nofollow">thumbs_up</a> voting gem on a Rails 3 app, however the instructions are unclear on the actual implementation. After requiring the gem [<strong>gem 'thumbs_up'</strong>] and after creating and running the appropriate migration [<strong>rails generate thumbs_up &amp;&amp; rake db:migrate</strong>] the README explains the following:</p> <blockquote> <p><strong>To cast a vote for a Model you can do the following:</strong><br> *Shorthand syntax<br>voter.vote_for(voteable) # Adds a +1 vote<br>voter.vote_against(voteable) # Adds a -1 vote<br>voter.vote(voteable, vote) # Adds either a +1 or -1 vote: vote => true (+1), vote => false (-1)<br><br> voter.vote_exclusively_for(voteable) # Removes any previous votes by that particular voter, and votes for.<br> voter.vote_exclusively_against(voteable) # Removes any previous votes by that particular voter, and votes against.*</p> </blockquote> <p>I've been assuming that the use of 'voter' and 'voteable' in the README example are stand-ins for objects in the app, but the usage is still nebulous to me. </p> <p><strong>A literal example of what my view, controller, and routes.rb file should look like would be a TREMENDOUS help.</strong> I've spent days trying to figure this out!</p> <p>In my app, I have Users that vote on Posts - of which there are two types - <em>Events</em> and <em>Links</em>. Posts are called using <strong>&lt;%= render :partial => @posts %></strong> and each individual post uses as its view "<strong>_event.html.erb</strong>" or "<strong>_link.html.erb</strong>" - depending whether it is an event or a link.</p>

A row detail

Detail views are divided into sections. All the information in the data section comes from columns in the selected row. The other sections display data from other, related rows.

Related data can be related in a to-one or a to-many fashion. Captions of data related in a to-many fashion link to a list view showing a filtered view of the table.

Try moving around until you find a non-empty to-many entry and click on the label to get to one. You can move back to the root by clicking on the database name in the header.
