About Rating and Comments
 
Introduction What's New?

DNNCentric Rating and Comments is a dotnetnuke module that works as a simple yet efficient plug-in to add reviews/comments and ratings feature to various parts of your existing dnn site.

All you need to do is simply attach this module to any of your existing modules and you are done. You can configure the module to only allow ratings or only allow comments or allow both comments and ratings. The module can be hooked with existing modules in ways ...

  1. Current page ( you can allow users to rate contents of all your page).
  2. Select a module on page. This way you can add a specific DNN module describing something on your site and hook comments and rating feature to it.
  3. Query String. Do you have a existing DNN module whose content changes based on a query string. If yes then you can use that same query string to hook comments and ratings feature.
  4. Custom Key. Define your own key and thus attach and show same rating and comments at a number of places.

For eg, see our demo pages. They show some content in normal text/html module and below that the Rating and comments module is placed. The module settings are configured to link this text html module. As you can see this module has enhanced normal text /html module to allow user feedbacks. You can use your imagination to link it with any module like CATALook (base on product id in query string) or allow users to rate your page or just link to your custom module.

In summary you can attach rating and comments feature to DNN Blog, Ventrian news articles, CATALook Product catalog or any other content publishing module that distingush there content with IDs.

Best of All, you can use this module on your site to give a conistant look and feel for rating and feedbacks.
