Dear CGI Gurus,

Any idea how to integrating external rate it with review.cgi? Thanks for the help.


Regards

You don't need external rate it. Just call review.cgi from a form, eg...

<FORM ACTION="http://www.yourdomain.com/path/to/review.cgi" METHOD="POST"><INPUT TYPE="HIDDEN" NAME="LinkID" VALUE="LINKID#">
Email:<INPUT TYPE="text" Name="Contact Email" SIZE="13">
Rating: <SELECT NAME="Rating" SIZE="1"><OPTION>--- </OPTION><OPTION>1 </OPTION><OPTION>2 </OPTION><OPTION>3 </OPTION><OPTION>4 </OPTION><OPTION>5 </OPTION><OPTION>6 </OPTION><OPTION>7 </OPTION><OPTION>8 </OPTION><OPTION>9 </OPTION><OPTION>10 </OPTION></SELECT> <INPUT TYPE=submit VALUE="Rate It!">
</FORM>

Hi oldmoney, thanks for the solution. I will try it.

Hi oldmoney,


The solution you provide works fine. But how to automatically redirect back to the previous http referer after the user rate or review a resource (after the confirmation dialog box)?

Kay

I use a JavaScript back link on the rate success page. Try <A HREF="JavaScript:history.go(-1);">Return to previous page.</A>

Hi Kay:

To make it an automatic return to the page where the rate form is located, you can use the meta 'refresh' tag below. The number 7 being '7 seconds' before refresh. Just adjust that to your preferance...

<meta http-equiv="Refresh" content="7; URL=<%URL%>">

Good Luck With Your Site

Brad has a good solution, except that the remote form may not be called from the URL in your database. Not necessarily a problem, but something to consider...

Your Right oldmoney:::

My apologies Kay, I forgot that you weren't using the remote rate mod. That is the code I use on my 'remote_rate_success' page that is called from the forms that people have placed on their sites.

This mod was well written and easy to put to use www.speculativevision.com/rateit/rateitmod.shtml

Thanks again oldmoney

Best regards
