RE:How to set up message board for authenticated users

Hi,
I am not sure if you are using Portal Engine or aspx templates. In case of portal engine you can insert two webparts on your page:
1. Message Board
2. Message Board Viewer - visible for all

The message board web part will be visible only for authenticated users, if you set Display to roles Property of webpart to _authenticated_.

If you are using aspx templates, kindly let me know.

Best regards,

RE:How to set up message board for authenticated users

Hi,

you can find inspiration in following aspx WebPart (there is used MessageBoard and MessageBoard Viewer):

~/CorporateSiteAspx/WebParts/MessageBoards.aspx

To make MassageBoard visible only for authenticated users, add following attribute into MessageBoard definition please:

BoardAccess="AuthenticatedUsers"

As for content rating:

1. You will need to register content rating webpart:

<%@ Register Src="~/CMSWebParts/ContentRating/ContentRating.ascx" TagName="ContentRating"
TagPrefix="uc1" %>

2. And insert control to your aspx template:

<uc1:ContentRating ID="cntStars" runat="server" Visible="false" RatingType="Stars"
ShowResultMessage="true" ResultMessage="Current rating: {0:0.#} ({1} ratings)"
MessageAfterRating="Thank you for your rating." MaxRatingValue="5" EnableViewState="false" />

P.S. I moved this thread to ASPX templates.
