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!

Redirect based on a database field

Asked by wcameron in Active Server Pages (ASP)

Tags: asp, redirect, based, page

I am creating a database of information on parks and tourism destinations. Then, visitors will be able to learn more about these destinations using ASP pages. So far so good. In the case of major destinations I want to create entire sections of the website specific to the destination. In these cases, I want visitors to be directed to these pages rather than the database served pages.

Here is what I mean.

For most destinations, the database record will include a short description, contact information and a list of things that you can do there.

In other destinations, I may have dozens of pages detailing the site.

I use a step-by step approach visible on http://www.mountainnature.com/Dest/ (Destination Finder). However, when you get to the results page at ParkFinderResults.asp, I would like to have the ability to redirect key destinations to a different page.

Here is my idea. Have a yes/no database field called redirect and another one with the url. When the ParkFinderResults.asp page is loaded, if the redirect field is yes, than the page wil be redirected to the page in the url field.

I hope this makes sense. If there is a better way to handle this I would appreciate your help. I can easily pass the Redirect AND the URL parameters from the page prior to ParkFinderResults.asp.
