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!

Creating a Script to Send Users to certain pages based on login

Asked by aclaus225 in Miscellaneous Programming, CGI Scripting

I have followed the following coding based on http://www.experts-exchange.com/Programming/Misc/Q_23717272.html but am still having problems.  What I am trying to do is use cgi to send people to certain pages based on who they log in as.  The program designer tells me that I must use the following syntax: someuser:somepass:cgi=http://auth.mylib.org/cgi-bin/myscript.cgi? so I have put student:password:cgi=http://www.wscal.edu/cgi-bin/ezproxy.cgi? in that file.  What I am now asking is if the script below that I have attached will actually authenticate the user, since I am told by the program designer that by doing cgi the program no longer authenticates the user, but that the cgi should do this.  Any help would be appreciated.  Start Free Trial
