Announcement The Coop Page / Article Rating & Review Project!

[Tesumph]

Ok, I'm right in the nick of time with this! We've got under 200 coop articles with 0 ratings!

Thankfully I've finished the upgraded version of the coop ratings page:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/pages/Coop3/

This page has 2 lists:

1: A list of coop articles that you personally haven't rated yet. It's sorted first by the number of ratings and then the date the article was created.
2: A list of recent articles you've rated.

I'm no coder, so it took me about 2.5 days work (and calling in some experts) to put this together, but it *should* be working properly! If there are any problems or questions, let me know!

(first post links have been updated too)

How does it know my name?!
Hehe. But really, looks great.

I’m on mobile so maybe it’s different for PC, but the list just stops at a certain point. Will it automatically show the next relevant ones within its “list capacity” as things get rated, or is there meant to be a way to see ones further down the line?

Sorry if that’s confusing, can’t think of a better way to phrase right now.

Yup, I have it limited to the first 100 articles that match the criteria:

• Only articles in the coop section
• Only articles you have not yet rated
• Articles sorted first by # of rating (in ascending order) and then creation-date (also in ascending order)

This will make sure that our members are rating coops they haven't rated, while focusing first on coops that are in most need of ratings (i.e., the ones with fewest # of ratings).

Oh, and as I noted in my post about the new coops rating page, y'all are doing a GREAT job with ratings!! Keep it up, and tell your friends to get in here to rate them as well! Our goal is still to eventually have all coop pages with at least 5 ratings!

Coop pages with ratings:

Oh, and BTW: Y'all are doing a GREAT job reporting articles that are either spam, in the wrong section, etc. Our moderators are cleaning these up, so as we move forward with the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, and 5th waves or ratings, we'll have a cleaner list of articles to rate!

For example, on my list I saw a "coop article" that was actually a brooder, and another that was a feeder. Both are now in the proper sections of the site!!!

Cool. Two more questions.

I just rated “ms biddys cattle panel hoop coop” and “ikea modular coop” and I know for a fact those must have been rated before as they were featured somewhat recently. Random glitch or..?

Also.. I realized too late that the order is now going from newest date to oldest, not the other way around... users are much more recent. I also realized that 1 or 2 pages had photos in the gallery tab that I did not notice before rating.
What I’m getting at is, I can’t figure out how to edit my rating, to change some unfair ones and make others anonymous. I did it once before but it’s not working now.

Yeah, it seems weird there are no ratings, but I do see comments. I'm not sure why there aren't any ratings for that one. If you see any others like that, let me know.

Yeah, that was my-bad. I had it coded in descending order by date, but now just fixed that

I also realized that 1 or 2 pages had photos in the gallery tab that I did not notice before rating.

Good point!

You were able to edit your ratings? I don't think that was ever an option, but you can report your rating and ask that it be deleted, then you can go back and re-rate if you want.

Yes, that one and the ikea one. I can’t find the link, sorry. One of those two even had a comment that said “there were ratings but they’re gone now.” Strange.

I swear I edited one or two ratings before. I had a change of heart, went to my history, and was able to click the “reviews” tab on the page and edit my post, including the stars. Now the reviews tab isn’t there... oh wait, I bet it’s because I’m just rating and not leaving comments now.

I’m not even sure how to report my rating lol. I feel bad about it.

BTW, I was really impressed with how @casportpony and @KikisGirls both rated this coop article:
https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/texaschickenss-chicken-coop.49085/reviews

They each gave it just one-star, but were very nice and supportive in their reviews!!!!

Hmmm... says it was featured Apr 23, 2018, so you're right, you'd think it would have some ratings. I'll look into it.

I bet it’s because I’m just rating and not leaving comments now.

Yup!
