This page is a live demo of how one can use
Telerik controls to add nice features to the DotNetNuke site pages. Here you can review a rating/comments system based on
RadRating and
RadChart that can be easily added to your site to rate any type of content.
Features of the demo:
- URL is used as rating/commenting object. So you easily add rating/commenting to any page of your site. If you need you can add a URL parameter filter to build rating object ID more carefully.
- Cookies are used as visitor identifer. This approach allows us to provide safe anonymous rating system. Cookie can be easily canged to UserID to get more reliable results.
- Codeproject.com-like rating histogram can be built using RadChart control. It shows how many votes of each value were made.
- Images are easily added via GRAvatar integration.
- Commenting system is 2-level tree: comments and answers. It uses RadEditor and RadComboBox controls to create a comment and RadFormDecorator to skin a submit button.
