Modifications:
Paul Armstrong came up with some nice changes that include auto-submitting and only allowing one vote per article per IP (I’m not sure about that part, considering dynamic IP and ISPs, you might mistakenly block someone else, and a delay is enough to stop flooding)

The database reads correctly, but the output on the webpage is always 0.
I am using txp 4.0.3
If you get 0 instead of average rating you should do the following.
Look through the source of tcm_ratingoutput plugin and find this chunk of code:
foreach($ratings as $value) {$total += value [ 0 ];}
Replace it with the following:
foreach($ratings as $value) {$total += $value[‘rating’];}
This should fix the problem.
As far as an error with getmicrotime() is concerned…
I suppose it all depends on the version of Textpattern. Anyway…
I currently use 4.0.5 and at first I got this error too.
getmicrotime() is defined in txplib_misc.php
So you just should add this line include ‘lib/txplib_misc.php’; anywhere before include ‘lib/txplib_db.php’; in file ratings.php
