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: how to prevent multiple logins from a single account using cflogin

Asked by henrygibson in ColdFusion Application Server, Web Application Hosting

Tags: coldfusion cflogin cfapplication

i am working on a new site and am using cflogin for the first time. have got everything working great but have a problem i need to solve somehow.

there are a number of user accounts on the site but each individual user (i.e. id#, username / pass) should only be able to login once. It shouldn't be possible for me to login with one set of credentials on one machine, then move to another machine and login using the same credentials without first logging out of my first session.

has anybody implemented a simmilar feature and can you give me some ideas on the best way to do it. am thinking there should be some way to set a marker against an account at login and delete it once the user times out or their session expires - but not wholly sure how to handle that robustly.

thanks, h

ps. site is running cf8 with bits of jquery ajax & running on a windows 2003 platform if that helps, although ideally I'd like to keep the solution platform independant and wholly within coldfusion if possible?
