SharePoint Community Development by Christopher

SharePoint gets list item ratings by users.

Just finishing up testing of a new feature to the WSS site.

Being able to attach a custom ranking field to any list allowing users to provide a rating with comments for every item.

• Features:
• One post per member per listitem
• Rollup of ratings per item.
• Combination of Site Ranking and user ranking for sorting and display until enough users post
• Moderation of user ranking posts.

This was all done by the following

• new custom field to add to lists
• new ranking lists to store users input
• new event handler on the ranking lists to rollup and calculate rankings and then update the custom field on the list item
• customized forms for entering rankings (very cool what can be done with just the SharePoint Designer)

Next step is to update the users points within Community Server to account for these posts.
