This chapter provides a quick reference for moderating the ratings posted to your site by visitors, configuring visitors' rating permissions and the appearance of the ratings widgets, and deploying the ratings widgets with either default or custom settings to a web page.
This chapter contains the following sections:
The Ratings menu (shown in Figure 27-1) is used to work with all widgets related to rating functionality (Stars Ratings, Thumbs Up/Down Ratings, Like It Ratings, Recommend Ratings, Ratings Average Rating, Recently Rated, and Most Rated). The "Ratings" menu provides you with options to moderate the ratings that visitors post to web pages, configure visitor permissions and appearance settings for the ratings widgets, and deploy ratings widgets (with either default or custom settings) to web pages.
The instructions in this section are written as a quick reference and it is assumed you are already logged in to the Community interface. If you need instructions for logging in, see Section 24.1, "Logging In."
This section is for moderators. You can access and moderate the ratings that site visitors give to the content of your website in the following ways:
To access the "All Ratings" screen (shown inFigure 27-2), select Ratings from the menu bar, then select Moderate, and then select All Ratings. The "All Ratings" screen is used to view and moderate all of the ratings that visitors have given to your website's content. The type of rating that site visitors can give to the content of your website depends on the type of ratings widget that was deployed: Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It, and Recommend Ratings. The ratings are listed in the order they were posted (most recent to least recent). You can sort the ratings in this list by either the visitor who posted the rating or the date the rating was posted.

Default settings are a widget's saved appearance and permission settings. Designers can modify the default appearance settings of the ratings widgets (Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It, and Recommend) by selecting Ratings, Configure, and then Appearance in the menu bar. Moderators can reconfigure the default rating permissions by selecting Ratings, Configure, and then Permissions in the menu bar. Once the permissions and settings are saved, the system dynamically updates the default ratings widget tags in the Community interface and on pages where tags with default settings are deployed.
You can reconfigure the default settings of the ratings widgets (Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It, and Recommend) in the following ways:
Section 27.3.1, "Reconfiguring the Ratings Widgets' Appearance Settings"
Section 27.3.2, "Reconfiguring the Ratings Widgets' Permissions Settings"
To access the "Ratings Appearance" screen (shown inFigure 27-5), select Ratings from the menu bar, then select Configure, and then select Appearance. This screen can be used by designers to reconfigure the Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It, and Recommend Ratings widgets' display properties, such as whether a Login Bar widget will be displayed with each type of ratings widget tag you deploy.

This section contains the following topics:
Several types of ratings widgets can be deployed with default settings: Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It, Recommend, Recently Rated, and Most Rated. The default settings for the Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It, and Recommend ratings widgets are their saved settings, which are configured in the Ratings menu's "Permissions" screen (select Ratings, Configure, and then Permissions) and "Appearance" screen (select Ratings, Configure, and then Appearance). The default settings for all other ratings widgets are configured out-of-the-box and cannot be reconfigured in the Community interface. Each ratings widget has its own deployment screen, which displays the widget tag. The default settings are used as property values in the widget tag.
Note:
If you want to deploy more than one Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It Ratings, or Recommend Ratings widget tag on the same page or if you want to deploy several different types of ratings widgets on the same page, you must provide a resource ID for each ratings widget you wish to deploy on that page. For more information, see Section 27.4.2, "Deploying Custom Ratings Widget Tags."
To deploy default ratings widget tags
In the menu bar, select Ratings, Deploy, and then the name of the widget tag you wish to deploy:
Stars Ratings – to deploy the Stars Ratings widget tag. When this tag is deployed, it displays a rating field of five stars which site visitors can use to rate the content of a web page (one star represents the lowest rating that can be given to a web page and five stars represents the highest rating).
Note:
If you want the Ratings Average Rating widget to display the average rating of the web page on which a Stars Ratings widget is deployed, you will have to customize the Stars Ratings widget by specifying a resource ID. For more information, see the description of the Resource ID field in Table 27-7.
Thumb Up/Down Ratings – to deploy the Thumbs Up/Down Ratings widget tag. When this tag is deployed, it displays a rating field with a thumbs up and a thumbs down option. By clicking one of these options, visitors can indicate whether a particular topic was helpful.
Like It Ratings – to deploy the Like It Ratings widget tag. When this tag is deployed, it displays a Like option which visitors can click to indicate whether they liked a particular topic.
Recommend Ratings – to deploy the Recommend Ratings widget tag. When this tag is deployed, it displays an Email a Friend option which visitors can click to email the URL of the page on which this widget is deployed to one or more of their contacts.
Recently Rated – to deploy the Recently Rated widget tag. When this tag is deployed, it displays a list of the top ten web pages (topics) site visitors have recently rated.
Note:
By default, the Recently Rated widget lists topics that have an associated ratings widget of resource type Others. To configure the Recently Rated widget to list topics of all resource types, you will have to modify the widget tag by removing the "resource_type":"other
" parameter. For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebCenter Sites Developer's Guide.
Most Rated – to deploy the Most Rated widget tag. When this tag is deployed, it displays a list of the top ten web pages (topics) site visitors frequently rate.
Note:
By default, the Most Rated widget lists topics that have an associated ratings widget of resource type Others. To configure the Most Rated widget to list topics of all resource types, you will have to modify the widget tag by removing the "resource_type":"other
" parameter. For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebCenter Sites Developer's Guide.
The deployment screen for each widget tag looks similar to the Stars Ratings Deployment screen, shown in Figure 27-7:
Figure 27-7 'Stars Ratings Deployment' Screen: Site Settings vs. Custom Settings
In the "Tag Format" field, make sure Site settings is selected.
Deploy the widget tag:
In the "Tag" field, copy (Ctrl+C) the widget tag.
Insert the widget tag into the desired template, preview the asset to which the template is assigned, and publish the template to the website. For detailed instructions, see steps 3 – 7 in the Section 24.3, "Next Steps."
You can customize any widget tag related to rating functionality by setting its properties using the tag generator in the widget's Deployment screen. Each time a widget tag is customized, it must be re-deployed because custom values cannot be saved in the Community interface, instead they are saved only in the particular instance of the widget tag.
To configure and deploy custom ratings widget tags
In the menu bar, select Ratings, Deploy, and then the name of the widget tag you wish to customize and deploy:
Stars Ratings – to customize and deploy the Stars Ratings widget tag: (1) Configure the Stars Ratings widget tag with a unique identifier and resource type so that it can be referred to by other rating related widgets for its content, such as the number of ratings and average rating. (2) Specify the web page (topic title and URL) on which the Stars Ratings widget tag is deployed. (3) Specify whether a Login Bar widget will be displayed with the Stars Ratings widget.
Thumbs Up/Down Ratings – to customize and deploy the Thumbs Up/Down Ratings widget tag: that is, (1) Configure the Thumbs Up/Down Ratings widget tag with a unique identifier and resource type so that you can deploy multiple Thumbs Up/Down Ratings widget tags on the same page and so other rating related widgets can refer to its content, such as the date of the most recently posted rating. (2) Specify the web page (topic title and URL) on which the Thumbs Up/Down Ratings widget tag is deployed. (3) Specify whether a Login Bar widget will be displayed with the Thumbs Up/Down Ratings widget.
Like It Ratings – to customize and deploy the Like It Ratings widget tag: that is, (1) Configure the Like It Ratings widget tag with a unique identifier and resource type so that you can deploy multiple Like It Ratings widget tags on the same page and so other rating related widgets can refer to its content, such as the date of the most recently posted rating. (2) Specify the web page (topic title and URL) on which the Like It Ratings widget tag is deployed. (3) Specify whether a Login Bar widget will be displayed with the Like It Ratings widget.
Recommend Ratings – to customize and deploy the Recommend Ratings widget tag: that is, (1) Configure the Recommend Ratings widget tag with a unique identifier and resource type so that you can deploy multiple Recommend Ratings widgets on the same page and so other rating related widgets can refer to its content, such as the date of the most recently posted rating. (2) Specify the web page (topic title and URL) on which the Recommend Ratings widget tag is deployed. (3) Specify whether a Login Bar widget will be displayed with the Recommend Ratings widget.
Average Rating – to customize and deploy the Ratings Average Rating widget tag: that is, for the Ratings Average Rating widget to display the average rating of a given topic (web page), it must be configured to specify the resource ID of either the Stars Ratings widget or Thumb Up/Down Ratings widget that is deployed on the desired topic (web page).
Recently Rated – to customize and deploy the Recently Rated widget tag: that is, have the Recently Rated widget display recently rated topics of a desired type (instead of topics of type "Others"). For example, topics of type "Article" are posted on a web page; each article has its own ratings widget (Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It, and/or Recommend) of resource type "Article." If the Recently Rated widget is to list the recently rated topics of type "Article," it must be configured to refer to the ratings widget(s) by resource type.
Note:
To configure the Recently Rated widget to list topics of all resource types, you will have to modify the widget tag by removing the "resource_type":"other
" parameter. For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebCenter Sites Developer's Guide.
Most Rated – to customize and deploy the Most Rated widget tag: that is, have the Most Rated widget display the most popular topics of a desired type (instead of topics of type "Others"). For example, topics of type "Article" are posted on a web page; each article has its own ratings widget (Stars, Thumbs Up/Down, Like It, and/or Recommend) of resource type "Article." If the Most Rated widget is to list the most popular topics of type "Article," it must be configured to refer to the ratings widget(s) by resource type.
Note:
To configure the Most Rated widget to list topics of all resource types, you will have to modify the widget tag by removing the "resource_type":"other
" parameter. For more information, see the Oracle Fusion Middleware WebCenter Sites Developer's Guide.
In the "Tag Format" field, select Custom settings. Customize the desired widget tag by setting values for the available fields in the tag's custom deployment screen.
