Re: Rate User Contributed Notes

Hello Hannes, alright, I understand now how it works ;). Just one more question for now: do the mirrors update all the notes frequently? Because ratings will change more or less often, so the mirrors need to update at least the rating-value to display the correct result. Thanks for your help.

Hello Hannes, I'm now thinking about how the rating requests will work via the servers/mirrors. I suppose that each time a note gets rated, the rating will have to be sent to the master and get saved there in the database. But how will the mirrors

Correct.

retrieve the rating information for each note? I think that this rating data will have to be saved in a file on each mirror and then get updated sometimes, just like the user notes. Is that correct?

If you use the existing tables and fields then the score is already accessible by the mirrors (see manual_notes_load() in include/shared-manual.inc -Hannes
