== Adding rating to your page ==

It is '''highly recommended''' to create a Page Rating subsite for administrators.  This allows security to be setup for the subsite to allow only administrators access for the webadmin.
+
# Navigate to your page
−
 
 
−
Your site may already have a ''webadmin'' subsite.  The steps below will add a ''pagerating'' subsite into the ''webadmin'' subsite.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Web Admin ===
 
−
# Create a new subsite under the site root called ''webadmin''.
 
−
# Create a new subsite under ''webadmin'' called ''pagerating''.
 
−
# Configure the ''/webadmin/pagerating/'' subsite Content Security to give 'No Rights' to 'Anonymous Users' and 'Authenticated Users'. 
 
−
# Configure the ''/webadmin/pagerating/'' subsite Content Security to give permissions to the group of administrators who will manage the Comments.
 
−
 
 
−
== Page Rating Manager ==
 
−
This page will be used to manage the Comments custom element data records for the site.
 
−
 
 
−
# Create page with the name "index" and title is "Page Rating Manager" in the ''/webadmin/pagerating/'' subsite.
 
−
# Add a Datasheet element into the page.
 
−
## Define a View for the Datasheet Element called "All Page Ratings"
 
−
## Leave the View Source as the Default: Form Result/Custom Element Sheet
 
−
## Select the "PT Page Rating" Custom Element and select the following columns:
 
−
### ID, UserID, RatingPageID, Rating, and Date Added
 
−
## Edit the column for the "ID" field and make the following changes:
 
−
### Header: Edit/Delete
 
−
### Render Handler: /ADF/extensions/datasheet-modules/1.0/edit-delete.cfm
 
−
## Edit the column for the "UserID" field and make the following changes:
 
−
### Header: User

### Header: Rating Page
 
−
### Render Handler: /ADF/extensions/datasheet-modules/1.0/pageID-to-link.cfm
 
−
### Prevent Text from Wrapping: Unchecked
 
−
## Edit the Layout properties for the datasheet:
 
−
### Default Sorting: Date Added DESCENDING
 
−
### Results Per Page: 50
 
−
### Allow JavaScript data sorting: Uncheck
 
−
# Publish the page.
 
−
 
 
−
== Adding rating to Your Pages ==
 
−
There are 3 options for adding the ratings to your pages:
 
−
# Base Plus One Template controlled through custom metadata - This will allow the all the site pages to have a metadata option to show or hide the page rating element .
 
−
# Template - Add the page rating custom script into a template and then all the pages derived from this template will have page rating.
 
−
# Page - On a page by page basis a custom script can be added directly into the page to display the page rating module.
 
−
 
 
−
The following steps will outline the 3 install options.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Base Template ===
 
−
# Create a new custom metadata form, or add to an existing custom metadata form (preferably if you have a custom metadata form for layout options this would be a good place).
 
−
# Add a new "checkbox" field with the following values:
 
−
## Field Name: displayPageRating
 
−
## Type: Checkbox
 
−
## Label: Display Page Rating
 
−
## Description: Check this field to display the Page Rating module into the page for all users.
 
−
## Properties: You have the option here to default this value to checked by default.
 
−
# On the Base Plus One Template
 
−
## Add a custom script module into the container or area of the page for the page rating.
 
−
## Define the explicit path for the following:
 
−
### /ADF/apps/pt_page_rating/customcf/pageRatingMetadataValidate.cfm
 
−
### Important Note: Based on your custom metadata form this custom script MAY need to be customized for your implementation.
 
−
 
 
−
=== Template/Page ===

# Navigate to your template or page.
 
 
# Add a custom script to the page (under Miscellaneous)
