Subsites

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.

Your site may already have a webadmin subsite. The steps below will add a pagerating subsite into the webadmin subsite.

Web Admin

  1. Create a new subsite under the site root called webadmin.
  2. Create a new subsite under webadmin called pagerating.
  3. Configure the /webadmin/pagerating/ subsite Content Security to give 'No Rights' to 'Anonymous Users' and 'Authenticated Users'.
  4. 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.

  1. Create page with the name "index" and title is "Page Rating Manager" in the /webadmin/pagerating/ subsite.
  2. Add a Datasheet element into the page.
    1. Define a View for the Datasheet Element called "All Page Ratings"
    2. Leave the View Source as the Default: Form Result/Custom Element Sheet
    3. Select the "PT Page Rating" Custom Element and select the following columns:
      1. ID, UserID, RatingPageID, Rating, and Date Added
    4. Edit the column for the "ID" field and make the following changes:
      1. Header: Edit/Delete
      2. Render Handler: /ADF/extensions/datasheet-modules/1.0/edit-delete.cfm


    1. Edit the Layout properties for the datasheet:
      1. Default Sorting: DateTimePosted DESCENDING
      2. Results Per Page: 50
      3. Allow JavaScript data sorting: Uncheck
  1. Publish the page.

Adding rating to your page

  1. Navigate to your page
  2. Add a custom script to the page (under Miscellaneous)
  3. Specify the location of the custom script to be:
    • /ADF/apps/pt_page_rating/customcf/pageRating.cfm
  4. Submit the page. You now have the app installed and running.
