Tagging and rating

Portal administrators can...

• Enable or disable tagging and rating

  Tagging and rating is enabled in the Portal 8.0 theme and the Page Builder theme. We can disable and enable tagging and rating globally for the portal as a whole using...

  • com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.isTaggingEnabled
  • com.ibm.wps.cp.rating.isRatingEnabled

• Add custom content that users can tag and rate, for example...
  • pages
  • portlets
  • content managed by WCM
  • custom content such as books in a bookstore

  To have users tag and rate custom content...

  • Write code that allows finding this content using the public APIs
  • Add the resources you want the users to tag to the portal.

• Assign access rights to users for tagging and rating content.

• Administer the tag clouds.

  Two examples...

  • Scope tag clouds to the kind of resources for which you want tags to be displayed. A default tag cloud displays all tags that users have applied in the portal. Administrators can change this behavior.

    For example, we can limit a tag cloud to display tags that have been applied only to pages, portlets, or books. You scope tag clouds by setting either categories or type schemas for them. The tag cloud represents only portal content that matches the categories or type schemas specified. We can scope each single tag cloud instance differently. Scoping tag clouds also affects the result lists of resources shown when users click a tag. The result list shows only resources of the scoped type.

    For example, if a tag cloud is scoped to the type photo, the result list shows only photo images.

  • Configure the tag cloud behavior. Tag clouds can react differently to tag clicks:

    • Either the user is redirected to the portal Tag Center and a result list of resources that have this tag applied is displayed.

    • Or the tag cloud exposes the clicked tags as shared render parameters, so that, for example, other portlets on the same page can display corresponding content.

• Stage a tagspace to a different portal system, for example, when moving the portal to a staging server or migrating the portal to a new version.

• Obtain statistics about the tagging and rating behavior of the portal users.
