qualification:ranking

The prefered way of using this tag is as follows:

  <%
  Calendar calendar = Calendar.getInstance();
  calendar.set(2009, 0, 01);
  Date fromDate = calendar.getTime();
  calendar.set(2009, 05, 20);
  Date toDate = calendar.getTime();
  %>
  <qual:ranking
    id="myRanking"
    type="StarRating"
    includeArticleTypes="blog, essay"
    from="<%= fromDate %>"
    to="<%= toDate %>"
    max="5"
  />

You may also use the userIds parameter to pass the IDs (seperated with comma) of the users you want ranking information from.

The old way of using the tag with composing a comma seperated list of article IDs enclosed in brackets and passing it to the articleId parameter is deprecated.
