Instructions for the profile
http://profiles.tiki.org/Consensus_Seeking_Forums_Instructions
Note:
- This demo profile creates two users (user1 and user2) for you in your site to help you test the feature from the point of view of different users.
- One single user can not rate his/her own posts (not even the admin), and that's why you need a second user, at least, to rate the thread or posts of another user.
- If you try this profile in a production system, remember to remove these 2 users if you don't want to keep them in your site.
- The forum created by this profile (named "Discussion forum") has some specific characteristics:
- It allows rating forum threads and will display in the header of each user reply the current rating that this user maintains on the initial forum thread.
- This way, you can provide more attention and further details or clarifications to those users which agree less with the contents of the initial discussion thread (idea, proposal, action, ...).
- When the user changes the rating on the starting message of the thread, the user choice shown in his/her reply headers will be updated to reflect the user last rating on that starting message of the thread.
