Page Ratings

Here is how you let people rate pages in specific categories or for the whole site:

  1. In the Site Manager, enable page ratings for the categories you want people to be able to vote on.
  2. In your nav:side page, add a link to a Top Pages page
  3. In the top-pages page, add one line like this: [[module TopRatedPages limit="20" comments="true"]]
  4. You can restrict the display to a single category by using this option: category="my-category"
  5. People will be able to rate pages by clicking the rate(0) action at the bottom of the page.

Explicit Ratings

In some cases it's easier to let people rate pages immediately. The simplest way is to:

  1. Place all rateable pages in a single category
  2. Create a template for that category that contains the line: [[module Rate]]
  3. Provide a page that includes the module [[module NewPage category="my-category"]]
  4. In the top-pages page, add one line like this: [[module TopRatedPages limit="20" comments="true" category="my-category"]]
