Built-in content validators
SDL Tridion provides built-in content validators for User Generated Content which help to control visitor behavior when commenting or rating. You can activate one or more of these content validators in the cd_ugc_conf.xml configuration file.
Before you begin
To use validators you need to install Hotfix rollup SDL Tridion 2011 SP1-2.
About this task
- Community Web service
-
On the instance of the Community Web service, which you use to enable storage and retrieval of submitted (visitor) comments and ratings, you can use:
- the Double Commenting Validator to enforce a minimum interval between comments on the same item by the same visitor, or to disable multiple comments by the same visitor on the same item altogether
- the Double Rating Validator to disable multiple ratings by the same visitor on the same item altogether, or to enforce a minimum interval between ratings on the same item by the same visitor.
- Visitor Web site
- On your Visitor Web site, use the Double Comment Voting Validator to disallow a visitor from voting more than once on the same comment.
