The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

  • The Grade of the Solution
  • The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
  • The Number of Author and Expert Comments
  • The Number of Experts Contributing
  • The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

If you have any suggestions that you would like to make for our rating system, please ask a question in the Suggestions Zone of Community Support.

Thank you!

Exclude vti_cnf folders

Asked by glennonr in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: , ,

I am using the following code to select a random folder from the images folder. I want to exclude the "_vti_cnf" folders that FrontPage generates. For some reason this code still returns the "_vti_cnf" folders sometimes. Any idea why?

<%
Function GetRandomFolder()

Const cHideFoldersPattern="_vti_cnf"

'This is a relative path to your image gallery root
Const ImagesRoot = "images"

' Get List of Subfolders under ImagesRoot
Set fsoFolder = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")


            Set FolderRoot = fsoFolder.GetFolder(Server.MapPath(ImagesRoot))

            Set FolderSubs = FolderRoot.subfolders

'**************************************
' Get a Random Folder Number from List            

randomize
RndFolderNum = Int(FolderSubs.count * Rnd)

' Associate Folder name based on Random Number Results
For Each objFolder in FolderSubs


      If intFileLooper = RndFolderNum Then
            ' Get a "handle" on the appropriate file
            Set objFolderToUse = objFolder

            Exit For
      End If

      intFileLooper = intFileLooper + 1
Next

'**************************************
'Clean up Above Variables
Set fsoFolder = Nothing
Set FolderRoot = Nothing
Set FolderSubs = Nothing
Set RndFolderNum = Nothing

'**************************************
if instr(1,objFolderToUse.name ,cHideFoldersPattern,1)= 0 then GetRandomFolder



' Build Path to Random Folder
GetRandomFolder = (ImagesRoot & "/" & objFolderToUse.name & "/")

End Function

'Call GetRandomFolder

Response.write GetRandomFolder
%>
