Question

I want that when someone votes for article information, it gets inserted into two tables
(or run any two queries, does not matter, insert, update or select).
I am using Joomla! 2.5.0 Stable.

components/com_content/models/article.php
public function storeVote($pk = 0, $rate = 0)

when executing this query:

$db->setQuery(
'INSERT INTO #__content_rating ( content_id, lastip, rating_sum, rating_count )' .
' VALUES ( '.(int) $pk.', '.$db->Quote($userIP).', '.(int) $rate.', 1 )'

I want that the information in #__content table will be inserted too.
How do I achieve that?
I tried following, but it does not work:

$db->setQuery(
'INSERT INTO #__content_rating ( content_id, lastip, rating_sum, rating_count )' .
' VALUES ( '.(int) $pk.', '.$db->Quote($userIP).', '.(int) $rate.', 1 )'

// 'UPDATE #__content ' .
' SET testas2 = rating_sum + '.(int) $rate .
' WHERE content_id = '.(int) $pk

// 'INSERT INTO #__content ( testas2 )' .
' VALUES (7799)'
);

This is picture with the syntax:

I read about MySQL transaction, will it help me in this case? If yes, then what should the syntax should look like?
Any advice is much appreciated.

Try to run the following directly in the DB (use phpAdmin):

UPDATE edqfi_content_rating , edqfi_content 
SET edqfi_content_rating.rating_count = edqfi_content_rating.rating_count + 1, 
edqfi_content_rating.rating_sum = edqfi_content_rating.rating_sum + 3, 
edqfi_content_rating.lastip = '88.119.189.154',
edqfi_content.testas2=edqfi_content_rating.rating_sum + 3 
WHERE edqfi_content_rating.content_id = 13
AND edqfi_content.id= 13

and see if you get any errors.
