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!

Coldfusion Zip Code Radius Query

Asked by Electriciansnet in ColdFusion Application Server, MS SQL Server, SQL Server 2005

Tags: coldfusion, code, zip, radius

I now have about 30 members on electriciansnet.com and presently, when they enroll, they enter their city as well as other surrounding cities in their service area to get sometimes over 100 zip codes inserted into my db with their member ID. This is proving to be inaccurate. I would like to switch this to a radious query either by changing the query to my zip code database of over 40,000 zip codes or maybe using a we service.

The 1st snippet is the current cffunction that is executed when the end user attempts to find a member by inputting their zip code on the home page.

The 2nd is the csfunction populates a cfgrid when the enrolling member inputs their city.

To see what is going on, you are welcome to visit http://www.electriciansnet.com and http://www.electriciansnet.com/city.cfm to enro;; with a dummy company.
