[REQ] Top Image (An average between all ratings)

[Albert]

The idea for this mod is simple.  It's just the average for all other ratings(hits, downloads, ratings, etc...).  This average will bring up the best image of all.

how do u calculate it?

P.S. this was requested several times already, but no real "theory" on how it should work was provided.

Image rating should be maximum of 100%.

Let's give Hits, Donwloads and Rating a part of that 100%

      Hits =                 50%
      Downloads =       10%
      Rating =        +    40%
      -----------------------------------------
      Image average =  100%
     
Ok...  Now let's get the value for Hits.

# of Hits of image with most Hits on the site = X
# of Hits from current image being rated       = Y

     X/100 * Y = Z

So "Z" is Value for Hits. But it's only 50% of total so...

     Z/100 * 50 = Hits

Now for downloads we do the same thing.

# of downloads of image with the most downlodas = A
# of downloads from current image being rated      = B

     A/100 * B = C

So "C" is Value for downloads. But it's only 10% of total so...

     Z/100 * 10 = Downloads

Now rating is already a percentage so let's just take that value... But it's only 40% of total value so...

      Actual Value of rating/100 * 40 = Rating

So now adding all values from Hits, Downloads and Rating I think we should get a pretty good average.

The only problem we have now is just the Rating value.  We should only add Rating for images with more than X votes...

Example,

If votes is higher than 10 then we use the formula above.
If votes is less than 10 then we just don't include rating.

Hits =               85%
Downloads =     15%
-----------------------------
Image average= 100%

Well I think this is a very simple ideia, just hope it's good enough to understand... Just simple math..
