General properties for tagging and rating

The parameters listed here are specific to the inline tag and rating widgets introduced with IBM WebSphere Portal v8.5.

com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.isTaggingEnabled = (true)
com.ibm.wps.cp.rating.isRatingEnabled = (true)

Enable tagging or rating in the portal user interface. Default is true.

com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.contextMenu.isTaggingEnabled = (true)
com.ibm.wps.cp.rating.contextMenu.isRatingEnabled = (true)

Enable page menu entries for tagging and rating. Default is true.

com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.portletContextMenu.isTaggingEnabled = (true)
com.ibm.wps.cp.rating.portletContextMenu.isRatingEnabled = (true)

Enable portlet menu entries for tagging and rating. Default is true.

com.ibm.wps.cp.default.feed.expiration = (600000)

Default feed expiration time. Milliseconds. Default is 600000 (10 minutes).

com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.tagspace.TimeStampRange = (500)

Range in which we want the time stamps of a tag space to be considered equal in milliseconds. Setting this property to a low value might affect performance.

com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.normalization.displayNormalizedNames = (false)

Whether normalized tag names are shown in the tag cloud. Default is false. Example: For three tags named...

• cot?
• cote
• c?te

...values are...

false	All three tags show up separately in the tag cloud with a count of 1 each. Search suggestions for c are... cot?, cote, and c?te Search suggestions for co are... cot? cote Search suggestion for c? is only... c?te
true	All three tags are normalized to the tag name cote. Only this tag name, cote, is shown in the tag cloud or suggested by the search service.

com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.normalization.typeAhead = (nonnormalized)

Determine which tag names the type-ahead feature for tag creation shows to the user. Accepted values are nonnormalized|normalized. The default value is nonnormalized. Example: If there are three tags: cot?, cote, and c?te, the values for this property have the following meaning:

nonnormalized

If the default nonnormalized, the suggestions from the type-ahead feature are as follows:

• If a user types the characters c?, the type-ahead service suggests c?te.

• If a user types the characters co, the type-ahead service suggests cot? and cote.

normalized

If we set this property to normalized, the suggestions from the type-ahead feature are as follows:

• If a user types the characters c? or co, the type-ahead service shows all three tags as suggestions: c?te, cot?, and cote.

The type-ahead feature works only with the dialog tag widget of the default tagging user interface of portal versions earlier than V 8.5. With WebSphere Portal V 8.5, the tag and rating widgets of earlier portal versions are deprecated.

com.ibm.wps.cp.filter.tagging.blacklist = (false)

Exclude unwanted tags, that is tags that might be seen as offending. If enabled, the blacklist filter checks every term that a user enters as a tag, before it is applied and stored. If the term used is listed on the blacklist, the portal does not allow this tag to be used and responds with an error message.

com.ibm.wps.cp.filter.tagging.whitelist = (false)

Check every term that users want to use as a tag before it is applied and stored. If the term the user types is not listed on the whitelist, the portal does not allow this tag to be used and responds with an error message. This way operators can specify a controlled vocabulary from which users need to chose when they want to tag resources.

com.ibm.wps.cp.tagging.validation.regex = [^\<\>\(\)\[\]:]{1,50}

Regular expression used by portal to validate the tag names that users type. The default is [^\<\>\(\)\[\]:]{1,50}"}. As a result, users can type tag names that are from 1 to 50 characters long and do not contain any angled brackets, parentheses, brackets, or colons: < > ( ) [ ] : .

Limitation note: Angled brackets ( < and > ) are not allowed within tag names. Therefore, no matter how you customize the regular expression, angled brackets are not accepted.

com.ibm.wps.cp.rating.average.expected.averagerating = (3.0)

Expected rating average per rated item. An item can be a single resource, or a search scope, such as all resources of type A or category B.

com.ibm.wps.cp.rating.averagel.expected.numberofratings = (10)

Expected number of ratings per item. Influences the credibility of the rating instances. The higher this value is, the more the average value is influenced by the value of the property com.ibm.wps.cp.rating.average.expected.averagerating.

com.ibm.wps.cp.rating.maxratingvalue = (5)

Maximum value that a rating can have. The default is 5.

The dialog and inline widgets of earlier portal versions were deprecated with portal V 8.5.
