Rating system

Hi, I am implementing the rating system in the application
where the user chose the rating from the fiveoptions of 1,2,3,4,5
and then submit, the rating field holds the value of the submited
value, when i try to rate again, it picks the current value and
store n the database,
i want to show like that if 3 users rated the article, the
rating should be shown as the average of three voters.
Well i tries to use theevaluate funcion but that didnot
worked the wayi want.
I want theway like storing the voting in a temp table and
then evaluating the value of temp vote field and then show on the
web.
can anyone know how to implement her. this idea
Thanks for ur advance help., if any

You need two columns in your database - "count" which is
incremented by one each time someone rates, and "total" which
contains the total of all ratings. To calculate the average of the
ratings, do <CFSET average = total / count>. You can round
the average to any number of decimal points you want.
Do you intend to prevent someone from rating multiple
times?

How do I use the rating system for multiple raters?

My wife, her sister, and I are all rating some photos I took a couple of days ago. Each of us, of course, has different favorites.
I would like to record our different ratings in the LR3 rating system but can't see an immediately obvious way to do so. I thought of using the color labels--different color for each of us. But each photo will only take one color label. I could use the star ratings, one star for only one selection, two for two, etc. But that would not record who chose which. I need to know that.
Has anyone had the same problem? If so, is there some rather obvious solution? I would think that it's not all that unusual for several folk to participate in a shoot, using one camera; and then to need some way to record their differing judgments on the photos in LR3.
Any thoughts would be helpful. Thanks in advance,
John Kendrick

The rating system in LR3 is not really designed with that type of functionality in mind. The "target Lightroom user" is an individual that uses LR to create a catalog of photographs which can be graded with a star rating based upon their opinion of the photograph. The concept of seperate star ratings for multiple users doesn't really fit into that concept. LR3, in general, is designed with a single photographer in mind... one that essentially uses the program by his/herself... so it has a bare minimum of 'group' functionality.
It may be possible to find a plug-in that will enable star ratings by multiple users, but I've never heard of one before.
If you really, really need this type of functionality (i.e. saving star ratings by multiple people), the only way to do it that I could think of would be to create multiple collections of the same shoot, each of which is filled with virtual copies of the original photos. Each collection could hypothetically be called '08-03-2010 Bill Ratings'...'08-03-2010 Jill Ratings'... etc... etc. Admittedly, such a workaround may very well be more trouble than its worth... that's just the only way I can think of that you might come close to achieving the functionality you're after.
***EDIT: You beat me to it (VC idea) while I was typing this reply, Ian... wasn't trying to post redundant info...

Is the rating system really necessary?

I know... I know... I'm probably getting on a touchy subject here.
I understand the desire for a sort of incentive for people to answer questions but it is my observation that use of points is hardly consistent. For the most part, it seems like questions from established users tend to get helpful and solved answers most of the time. Great. The point system works in that instance.
I have also noticed that I will see someone come on the boards, post a question, get their answer and never post again. They either don't know about the rating system or they do not stay long enough to use it.
Does that mean I need to look at the O.P.'s post count before I post an answer? I think that's shallow. If someone has question and I think I know a solution, then I will post a solution.
But what is the solution? Do away with the rating system? I think some upper-level members would have a justifiable objection to that. Change it to a raw post count? I suspect we would see an even higher number of posts deleted because of people trying to pad their numbers.
What if members received 1 point for marking an answer as helpful and 2 points for marking an answer as solved?
Its a thought.

No, the rating (reputation) system isn't really necessary, but it does serve as an incentive for many people to increase their participation, and increased participation lends itself to the perception of increased value in this Apple-provided service, if not to the usefulness of the bulk of the posts that are left here.
Ultimately, there are a lot of things that go into the decision to attach a reputation system of one kind or another to Discussions, and there has been one such system or another in place here for many years, so there is no reason to believe that the concept will ever be abandoned.
As to the idea that upper-level members would object to its loss, yes, some would. Maybe many. On the other hand, there are quite a few of us who see through this charade and do what we can do undermine its importance relative to the real mission of Apple's Discussions. In the end, I'd like to think that our cynicism helps to balance out the "shallowness" of post-count building and points-grubbing strategies that seem to obsess many of our peers.
What if members received 1 point for marking an answer as helpful and 2 points for marking an answer as solved?
I've suggested this myself in the past, but one of the roadblocks to its implementation is that the current software is only able to mete out points in increments of 5. Oh well....
Good luck!

Vendor rating system?

Dear Gurus,
how do we plan for a vendor rating system and move about?
Thanks..

Hi
There are several point , firstly whether the vendor is ISO
certified or TS certified , vendor assessment , rejection
trend analysis in a month, debit trend analysis in a
month,On time delivery analysis , dependence on local
transport, Documentations maintained, Yearly discounts on
bulk quantity orders etc.
A chart is prepared for all these activities in horizontals
and in verticals the vendors names are written and then the
rating is done on a 6 point scale or 1 point scale.
Regards
Anjali

Rating system odd problem

Hi,
I've created a enterprise wiki and the page rating does not display correctly. Instead of displaying stars as a graphic it shows text saying
'click to apply your rating as 1 star, click to apply your rating as 2 stars...etc"
The rating system works and displays on things like blog posts etc.
Any help is appreciated!

The Solution is with the X_UA-Compatible. You can adding the tag in the masterpage:
<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=9" />
Not optimal but this is the solution, see on

Messages/articles rating system

Hi guys,
I'm looking for an example of a servlet application for messages/articles posting and rating system.It should have the basic following functionnality:
1. User's can login or create account
- properties include id, first, last, email, zip, date created, customerProperty1, customerProperty2
2. Users can create messages (just HTML text) on the system in one of 16 cateogries ("Business", "Graphics", "Email",ie)
3. Messages the following properites: id, title (name), description, user (publishing the message), rating (1 to 5), contents (text), categoryID (point to category)
4. Categories has the following properites: id, name, description, number of messages in the category
5. Everone on the system can see the messages and navigate the categories
6. Registered users can rate messages an a scale to 1 to 5
7. Messages should be ranked by thoese with highest commulative ratings.
I would be very gratefull if someone could point me to any open source project similar to this one so i can build on top of it.
many thanks for your help.

Using Aperture's star rating system

Forum member mrhooper posted [something in another thread|http://discussions.apple.com/thread.jspa?messageID=13357908#13357908] which caught my eye. I didn't have time to respond, and now that thread is marked answered -- and my reply is slightly off-topic -- so I started this new thread in the hopes of learning how better to use the star rankings in Aperture.
Below is +what I do.+ I'm very curious to find out what you do -- or to hear any suggestions for making what I do more sensible.
Here is (part of) mrhooper's comment.
So we are now bringing over everything into Aperture and then rating images on a 1, 2, 4, 5 basis. Come on, if its a 3 make a decision. Everything else is a 9, and then the rejects are deleted. And then the trash is emptied and they are out of the library.
So we bring in the raw and then quickly rate, and I can't image a 400 shoot taking much more than 5 minutes rate.
Go through once for 1, then for 2, by then the 4 is obvious and the 5 we just love anyway. 9 everything else.
Fwiw (always an auspicious start to an Internet posting), I TOTALLY agree re: the wasted gamut of the seven-level rating system (that's rejected-unrated-1-2-3-4-5).
Here's what I've settled on:
• If I look at a picture, I rate it. Reject or save-and-decide-later. That's "9" and "1". So "unrated" is meaningful to me. It doesn't mean "less than rated", and, importantly, it doesn't mean "not-rejected"; it means, literally, not-yet-rated. (The problem solved here occurs when I am part way through tossing rejects from a Project and I am interrupted.)
Immediately after import, I add a Project description, assign a Place, and Stack images taken in burst mode or with any range of exposure settings. When I rate images in a Project, the first thing I do is go through these Stacks and select the most usable image from these minor variations (I need to do this before comparing un-like images in the Project). Within any Stack, I might have rejects ("9") and saves (1-star); the "pick" of the Stack gets a 2-star rating (1-star is already in use).
• 1- and 2-star ratings +have the same value to me as images.+ The only difference is that 2-star images came from Stacks. (Those Stacks may contain 1-star images which for any number of reasons I want to retain even though they are not a Stack pick and will likely never be promoted nor processed nor printed nor published).
Now I can go through my Project and make my picks. I mark images to be developed in RED (I use the 8 color labels to track image development). All of these also get upgraded to 3- or 4-stars.
• 3-star means "keep". The general idea is that in a few years time I will likely want to do some major weeding in my Aperture orchard. Any 1- or 2-star images will then be unceremoniously deleted. 3-star images will be kept.
• 4-star means good enough for publication. One of the best of the Project.
After I develop the images in a Project, I will re-assign the star rankings. During development, some images will be promoted.
• 5-star means not only good enough to be published as one of the best of the Project (and I mean that at whatever level one works -- from emailed to friends to printed for sale), but good enough to be included in some other sampling of my work. (I keep an Album for my Portfolio. The images in the Album are selected from my 5-star images.
Note that in my use, +star ratings are Project specific+. There is no value-equivalence between the star ratings -- and I consciously try to avoid comparisons across Projects. (If I've done a shoot, I need to know which are the usable/salable shots in that shoot -- I don't need to know how they rank in my life's work.) All of the 4-star images in one Project may be of less comparative value to me than the only 4-star image in another Project.
So in my system, "Reject", "3-star", and "4-star" are the only ratings which are necessary. They correspond to the all important distinctions mrhooper indicated:
- throw-out
- keep but don't use
- use.
The other star ratings could -- and from a tidy database standard, should -- be replaced by a metadatum that is not part of the rating gamut.
The orchard floor is yours ...

Hi Kirby,
Thanks for opening this up, as I suspect most of us have gone through the "let's see that's a 1 or no... probably a 2, perhaps I can clean up the backgound and then it would be 3. " etc etc.
We settled on a similar process where you suggest it is a project by project rating, not our life's work.
So we skip 3, play with 4 and 5, that should be obvious.
1 and 2, they are going to be deleted at some stage in the future, unless it is some rare thing, and that doesn't happen every shoot.
In Jan this year looked at the 2008 year 1, 2 and deleted most of them. Hey, we hadn't used them, touched them, improved them or even thought about them. Goodbye.
Some memorabilia, sentimental value ones got to stay.
When we look for the best, then 5 is the go. Maybe a review of 4's but only if we are struggling in 5s
Which by the way we tend to be fairly generous with I suppose.
Checked a shot of 60 images early in the week, 15 are in the 4 and 5, 8 are 5.
We also use the wonderful color system. Now this sorts out a lot of things for later smart albums.
Here are a few Green-teaching. Red-for web site pages, Blue - the crown jewels, the ones we both love. Purple- spec shots for photo library etc.
Yep, sometimes a shot might be two or more colors, but it is not stopping us at the moment.
We do shoot burst, but don't stack. If its a 4 I want to be able to see it. We create albums in the project Star 4, Star 5, so there they are in a hurry. Yep, know it is easy to do that in the search box, and can use Ctlr1-5, but the clever is later when we can be really specific in search for albums with Star 5, or what ever.
Just to finish off, the 4 and 5 get keywords, lots of them. From event, to person, to specific lighting, to species, or building type or.....
want a pic of a 1937 Ford- in Blue, at the Last Cafe, in Spring, in the sunshine, front lit, side view?
That is what Aperture does.
and because of the way we use projects for each shoot, bet I could find it in about 10 seconds in quick review of the appropriate year or month as well.
This is not the thread on project names, but we have from the beginning way back in iPhoto(5) put them in as a date and description.
Cool thing now in Projects/Full Screen, is I can Filter by the date number so typing in 9012 gets me all the projects only from 2009, December. (9) 0 (12) Oh, am aware of what is going to happen when we have been round the scale once and the numbers come back. And we have a plan.
I am sure there are other ways to start a good system, to use the ratings and the keywords of Aperture, and agree that you have to think project specific when it comes to what is a 5.
Reserving 5 only for the 'very best image you ever took of a rose", is a bit limiting and what if my "Very best waterfall picture' is even better?
Thanks for starting a good ideas discussion.

DJ

How effective is the five star rating system?

I'm all for rating buyers and sellers on eBay so that one can distinguish the good buyers and sellers from those that are perhaps a little less professional. However, I've had sellers ask me to leave a 5 star rating across the board, as they claim anything less is considered a negative rating. Most sellers write thank you on the items they send but in many cases that's the only communication that you've had with them. What does that warrant on the rating system to provide honest feedback? When the description on an item doesn't really tell you anything other than say "old stamp". How do you rate that? It is an old stamp; so looked at one way the description is very accurate but it's not really telling you anything about the item.. I may be a bit naive here but I've never seen a list of the criteria used to determine "very accurate", "very fast", "very satisfied" or "very quickly". For the rating system to accurately reflect how good or poor the buyers and sellers are it needs to be objective. That is to say that buyers and sellers must have a generally agreed upon statement of what constitutes the categories from 1 to 5. After all one person's "very fast" (it shipped within a week) could be another person's "very slow". Subjective ratings are open to interpretation and all one sees is the feedback comment and the ratings not how the person determined the ratings. I think this is a discussion that would help to improve the feedback system and make it a more accurate reflection of how both buyers and sellers do business in this arena.

It seems now that Ebay let now the sellers decide when it is ok to receive an item Not exactly. EBay removes Seller Protection if the seller does not ship within seven days. Which has been the policy for many years. The delivery time is mostly due to the shipping service (China Post, USPS, Canada Post) although if an overseas seller uses Surface Shipping, he should understand that it will be on the high seas for six weeks to three months.The 'expected delivery time' is given by the shipping service not by the seller. Paypal is now allowing buyers to open disputes for up to 180 days**, in part as a reaction to unhappy buyers who have been hornswoggled into waiting past the former 45 day deadline for delivery. So really, there is now more power in the hands of the buyer. In my opinion, and I have lots of opinions. no buyer should wait more than 30 days for a delivery.Normal delivery from Europe* is 10 to 15 days.From Canada or the USA 15 to 20 days.From Asia 20 to 30 days. After that contact the seller and if neither tracking information nor a refund arrives within 24 hours, open a Dispute. *European sellers use Air Mail as default. Asian sellers, especially those using Free Shipping, use Surface as a default. **(Or just don't ship at all and then promise a replacement which never arrives, but by then the Dispute period of 45 days has passed.)

Laptop shuts down at "Now Rating System Performance"

Model number: PSAY3C-04S010
OS: Windows 7 Home Premium (64-bit)
I attempted to restore the pre-installed software from the recovery hard disk drive.
Everything went smoothly, reached the screen "Configuring System... 71/71".
Then came the screen "Now Rating System Performance".
The bar would load a bit (maybe around 5%) and the laptop suddenly shuts down without warning.
I have tried turning the laptop back on, starting Windows normally, and it would bring me back to those 2 screens, and the laptop would shut down again at "Now Rating System Performance".
I have tried turning the laptop back on 4 or 5 times now, and the result is always the same. The laptop shuts down at that screen.
What should I do?
Solved!
Go to Solution.

I've confirmed the solution after consulting with a few technicians. Huge thanks to them. I'm sharing this here for anyone who might encounter the same problem in the future.
The solution: charge the battery to 100%, then with both the battery fully charged and the AC adaptor plugged in, start the laptop again, and the process should complete without any problems.
What I did wrong was to attempt to do the whole process on AC adaptor alone. I did not use the battery at all. When the performance-rating started, the laptop couldn't draw enough power from the AC adaptor alone, so it shut down automatically. With BOTH the battery and the AC adaptor, the laptop had enough power to finish the entire recovery process.

Explain your rating system

I would love to know people's rating system, like what do you consider a three star picture, or a four? What's the difference between the two?
Right now, I have been using:
*** = Absolutely awesome picture. Must be printed, put in (wedding) album. Eligible for my own portfolio.
** = Very good too, can be printed, or put in (wedding) album
* = Acceptable, will show to customer
That's it... I don't have one or two.
Would love to compare. Even though I have a few thousand pics already rated, I'm sure that if I see a better rating system, I can easily change, using smart albums.
Thanks,
Toine

This is a useful discussion. I use ratings for two reasons--to of course seperate the bad from the good, but also in terms of how photos my be used album and website creation.
5=well done, photographers (sometimes two or three almost identical photos get tagged 5, so I and the client can look closely at what should finally go in the album.
4= good, not oustanding, but good for the album, website, etc.
3=okay photo for 4x6 or similar to other better photos on a stack
2=not that good, but better keep just in case it's needed
1=I'm not sure what do with this one now that I'm using Aperture's reject.
I'm still reflecting how to use the ratings system to improve my workflow to evaluate my photos. I'm going to read the DAM book to see what is suggested. But overall I still find it a little tedious to do, especially whe you're rating over a thousand photos. I really try to be more conscious now of the amount of shots I'm taking at a wedding. Though I'm new to the business, I'm getting the feeling that clients really don't need 400+ photos. They need the best of the lot and what is most important to them. Personally, I wish I could just have clients go through the photos and select them before I do. That way I'm not spending so much time on photos they're probably never print any way. Though clients like my picks, they also don't choose photos that I spent time working on. So it would be nice to have them make choices up front.

Star Rating System

I would love for Adobe Forms to include a star rating system, similar to iTunes/Amazon etc. Im aware of the currrent ones thats built in but no simpler sysrtem like a star system.

Thank you for the suggestion.

5-star rating system

This is a good one: I want a 5-star rating system like YouTube etc so I have 5 radio buttons (not in a group) switched to the Star button style.
I want to be able to check if the star.rawValue ==1 or 0 and if so turn on/off the remaining stars.
So if no stars are selected and you pick the 4th star, 1,2 and 3 fill in. Likewise if you pick the 2nd star after the 4th, stars 3 and 4 will turn off.
What is the best way to go about this? Also I want a variable set to however many stars are set so I can track the rating somone gave it.
Here is my begining code which is far short of what it needs to be be:
//Placed on a click of rbstar1
//Checks if star2 is on and if so tuns all others off because if 2 is on then 3,4,5 might be
if(rbstar2.star2.rawValue ==1)
rbstar2.star2.rawValue =0
rbstar3.star3.rawValue =0
rbstar4.star4.rawValue =0
rbstar5.star5.rawValue =0
rbstar1.star1.rawValue =1
else
// If star 2 is not on then star 1 may not be so put it on
rbstar1.star1.rawValue =1
//this is my attempt at tracking a variable of which was selected
TextField1.rawValue ="1"
I was thinking i could use a combo of click and change events?

I tested it, normally this one should work with javascript.
Here you go:
if(this.rawValue == 1) //doesn't matter which star it is
star0.rawValue = 0;
star1.rawValue = 0;
star2.rawValue = 0;
star3.rawValue = 0;
star4.rawValue = 0;
this.rawValue = 1; //this one refers to the actual star
This one will work for ALL stars and you won't mess up the mapping of the stars.
If you do: if(starNumber.rawValue = 1) ...
You won't be able to unclick it so there is NO difference to radiobuttons.
The if sentence isn't even important then. you could simply state it as:
star0.rawValue = 0;
star1.rawValue = 0;
star2.rawValue = 0;
star3.rawValue = 0;
star4.rawValue = 0;
this.rawValue = 1;

Rating System Change

Due to the request of many of our community users, (see this thread) I have taken an intermediate step towards solving our ratings problem
in the community. Now, only relatively established users with 50 or
more posts will be able to rate messages. In my experience, the vast
majority of 1 star ratings come from users new to the community. We do not intend for any message rating to be negative, however, due to the nature of the 1 to 5 star system, anything less than 5 stars can be interpreted as an insult.
I realize this does not fix the problem. There are currently no other
feasible options available for the rating system. I do know that at
some point in the future, our forum vendor will release new rating
system options to us. At that point, I will start a discussion about
which of the options is best for our community. Unfortunately, I do
not have an idea of their timeline currently. I hope to be able to
give an update on when we might expect new options soon.
