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!

Need help with CFCOOKIE

Asked by jag5311 in ColdFusion Application Server

Tags: cfcookie, voting, once

Ok, I suck at coldfusion. I am needing to set a cookie on a users machine.

I have a page that is calling a storyID.  Essentially, its an article posting.

At the bottom, I am going to have a select element with options 1 through 10. These are ratings that people can give it.

Basically, I want to make it so once they choose a rating, it gets inserted into the database in the table I specified.

I also want a cookie set so that if they come back to the story, they can't vote on the story again.

Here is my option list.

I just need some help with the CFIF statement and setting the cookie so I can accomplish this.

            <form name="ratings" action="addrating.cfm" method="post">
            <label for="rating">Add a rating</label><br />
            <select name="rating">
                  <option value="0">0</option>
                  <option value="1">1</option>
                  <option value="2">2</option>
                  <option value="3">3</option>
                  <option value="4">4</option>
                  <option value="5">5</option>
                  <option value="6">6</option>
                  <option value="7">7</option>
                  <option value="8">8</option>
                  <option value="9">9</option>
                  <option value="10">10</option>
            </select><br /><br />
            <input type="submit" name="submit" class="submit" value="Rate It" />
            </form>

Here is my SQL

<cfquery name="story" datasource="#dsn#">
SELECT s.storyID, s.story, s.storytitle, s.storydate, s.description, s.typeID, s.categoryID, 10.0*sum(r.rating)/count(r.storyID)  as approval_pct
FROM tblstory as s left outer join tblrating as r on s.storyID = r.storyID
WHERE s.storyID = #URL.storyID#
GROUP BY s.storyID
</cfquery>


Any help is appreciated.

Thanks
