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!

Javascript fuction to automatically allocate points

Asked by Nightman in JavaScript

Tags: Splitter, EE, bookmark

Those of us that frequent the Lounge used to have a handy little javascript function to automatically share out the points when closing out a long and convoluted "question". It seems that with the more recent changes to the interface here at EE this has been broken.

Since I'm clearly too lazy to try and fix it myself, here is what I need - you will see the variants below, and what the previous version did - you will note that the point allocation was previously derived from the page itself, and not assumed. With the changes to the site you will probably need to set the checked values of the checkboxes to true, make the "hidden" fields visible and then allocate the points. Note that the default Grade should be marked as "A", solution marked as incomplete, inaccurate and blindingly difficult to follow. That should make it useful in P&R as well.

Must work in IE, Firefox and Chrome, in both Expert and Premium super-eye-candy-bandwidth-muncher mode.

Splits the points evenly among all participants. Uneven values are "left over" to be manually re-allocated:
javascript:function%20pntz(){d=[],w=[],f=document.forms;f=f[f.length-1];a=f.getElementsByTagName('a');for(i=a.length-1;i>=0;i--){if(a[i].innerHTML==''){w[e]=a[i].id.substr(1)}else{if(a[i].parentNode.className=='value')e=a[i].innerHTML}}for(e%20in%20w)d.push(f['points_'+w[e]]);p=document.body.innerHTML.match(/You%20must%20award%20a%20total%20of%20(\d+)/)[1];i=d.length;for(e%20in%20d)d[e].value=parseInt(p/i);if(p%i)alert('Leftover:%20'+p%i+'%20pointz%20<|;-)')};pntz();
 
Splits the points evenly among all participants. The remainder is spread out among participants in order of their posting.
javascript:function%20pntz(){x=[],f=document.forms,f=f[f.length-1],l=document.getElementsByTagName('a');for(i=l.length;i>0;i--){if(f[e='points_'+l[i-1].id.substr(1)])x[l[i].innerHTML]=[i,e]};w=[];for(e%20in%20x)w.push([x[e][0],f[x[e][1]]]);p=document.body.innerHTML.match(/You%20must%20award%20a%20total%20of%20(\d+)/)[1];i=w.length;r=p%i;w.sort();for(e%20in%20w)w[e][1].value=parseInt(p/i)+((r-->0)?1:0);if(p<i)alert('Some%20get%20no%20poinx%20<|;-)');self.scrollTo(0,32768)};pntz()
 
Reserves a portion of the points for manual allocation and then splits the remainder as per the previous variation.
javascript:function%20pntz(){y=eval(prompt(%22Reserve%20poinks%22,%22%22));x=[],f=document.forms,f=f[f.length-1],l=document.getElementsByTagName('a');for(i=l.length;i>0;i--){if(f[e='points_'+l[i-1].id.substr(1)])x[l[i].innerHTML]=[i,e]};w=[];for(e%20in%20x)w.push([x[e][0],f[x[e][1]]]);p=document.body.innerHTML.match(/You%20must%20award%20a%20total%20of%20(\d+)/)[1];i=w.length;r=(p-y)%i;w.sort();for(e%20in%20w)w[e][1].value=parseInt((p-y)/i)+((r-->0)?1:0);if(p-y<i)alert('Some%20get%20no%20poinx%20<|;-)');f['knowledgeBase'].checked=false;f['gradeTypeID4'].checked=true;self.scrollTo(0,32768)};pntz()
