</ul> </div> <p></p> <h1><span class="mw-headline" id="Background">Background</span></h1> <p>The main form of interaction at a ccHost site, the one that differentiates it from most other content management systems, is deriving works from each other (a.k.a. remixing). Rather than sharing status messages, being in a circle of "friends" or "followers," the artists are having a conversation with the media itself.</p> <p>ccHost <i>does</i> offer ways of interacting that relate directly to the media. In this document we'll discuss the various ways people can show their appreciation and even help "market" the content.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Ratings">Ratings</span></h2> <p>ccHost offers admins a choice between two types of ratings system. The "star" method <i>or</i> the "recommends" method. (The recommends system is also referred to as the "thumbs up" method.)</p> <p>You can not enable <i>both</i> the start method and the recommend method at the same time. It's one or the other.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="The_5_Star_Method">The 5 Star Method</span></h3> <p>When the star system is enabled, a strip of 5 graphical stars appears with every upload. When a user that is eligible for rating hovers over the stars, they change color indicating they can choose one to signify their ratings.</p> <p>Ratings are stored in the database as a number between 1 and 5. (Technically the number stored is 100 times the rating.)</p> <p>To enable the star system click on <i>Global Settings</i> then <i>Ratings</i> (or browse to <b>admin/ratings</b>). In that form check the <i>Ratings</i> option and un-check the <i>Use 'Recommend' style</i>.</p> <p>Administering a site with a star rating system can require a lot of tweaking when the system is abused (i.e. a "1 star bombing run"). In order to watch and correct abuses browse to <b>admin/ratings/manage</b> which allows you to view specific activity. Click on the <i>reviewers</i> name to filter just one user or the upload name to filter on a specific upload. Likewise for IP, ratings and upload.</p> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Recommends_.28Thumbs_Ups.29">Recommends (Thumbs Ups)</span></h3> <h3><span class="mw-headline" id="Who_Can_Rate.3F">Who Can Rate?</span></h3> <p>Only registered users can rate and artists can not rate/recommend themselves.</p> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Reviewing">Reviewing</span></h2> <h2><span class="mw-headline" id="Playlist.2FCollections.2FFavorites">Playlist/Collections/Favorites</span></h2>   </div>  </div> <div class="printfooter"> Retrieved from "<a dir="ltr" href="https://wiki.creativecommons.org/index.php?title=Cchost/concepts/Social_Interaction&oldid=24019">https://wiki.creativecommons.org/index.php?title=Cchost/concepts/Social_Interaction&oldid=24019</a>" </div> <div id="catlinks" class="catlinks" data-mw="interface"><div id="mw-normal-catlinks" class="mw-normal-catlinks"><a href="/wiki/Special:Categories" title="Special:Categories">Categories</a>: <ul><li><a href="/index.php?title=Category:Pages_with_ignored_display_titles&action=edit&redlink=1" class="new" title="Category:Pages with ignored display titles (page does not exist)">Pages with ignored display titles</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:CcHost" title="Category:CcHost">CcHost</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:CcMixter" title="Category:CcMixter">CcMixter</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Developer" title="Category:Developer">Developer</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Software" title="Category:Software">Software</a></li><li><a href="/wiki/Category:Technology" title="Category:Technology">Technology</a></li></ul></div></div> <div class="visualClear"></div> </div> </div> <div id="mw-navigation"> <h2>Navigation menu</h2> <div id="mw-head"> <div id="p-personal" role="navigation" class="" aria-labelledby="p-personal-label"> <h3 id="p-personal-label">Personal tools</h3> <ul> <li id="pt-login"><a href="/index.php?title=Special:UserLogin&returnto=Cchost%2Fconcepts%2FSocial+Interaction" title="You are encouraged to log in; however, it is not mandatory [o]" accesskey="o">Log in</a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="left-navigation"> <div id="p-namespaces" role="navigation" class="vectorTabs" aria-labelledby="p-namespaces-label"> <h3 id="p-namespaces-label">Namespaces</h3> <ul> <li id="ca-nstab-main" class="selected"><span><a href="/wiki/Cchost/concepts/Social_Interaction" title="View the content page [c]" accesskey="c">Page</a></span></li> <li id="ca-talk" class="new"><span><a href="/index.php?title=Talk:Cchost/concepts/Social_Interaction&action=edit&redlink=1" rel="discussion" title="Discussion about the content page [t]" accesskey="t">Discussion</a></span></li> </ul> </div> <div id="p-variants" role="navigation" class="vectorMenu emptyPortlet" aria-labelledby="p-variants-label"> <h3 id="p-variants-label"> <span>Variants</span> </h3> <div class="menu"> <ul> </ul> </div> </div> </div> <div id="right-navigation"> <div id="p-views" role="navigation" class="vectorTabs" aria-labelledby="p-views-label"> <h3 id="p-views-label">Views</h3> <ul> <li id="ca-view" class="selected"><span><a href="/wiki/Cchost/concepts/Social_Interaction">Read</a></span></li> <li id="ca-viewsource"><span><a href="/index.php?title=Cchost/concepts/Social_Interaction&action=edit" title="This page is protected.
