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.
- Details of the forum created by this profile (named "Discussion forum"):
- It allows rating forum threads
- The current rating that a user (let's say, user2) maintains on the initial forum thread (made by another user, let's say user1) will be displayed in all the header of the replies by that user2.
- 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 (user2) changes the rating on the starting message of the thread made by user1, the user2 choice shown in his/her reply headers will be updated to reflect the user2 last rating on that starting message of the thread made by user1.
