Configuring UGC on Content Manager
UGC is installed on the Content Manager Server when you run the Content Manager installer. You need to configure UGC on the Content Manager to add comments and rating controls to your Components and Pages.
- Enabling commenting and rating in a Template
Enable commenting and rating in a Template to let users see and submit comments and ratings on Web pages that were rendered with such a Template, or on Web pages that contain Component Presentations rendered with such a Template. - Configuring Content Delivery Web service end points
Configure the end point of the Content Delivery Web service to give the Content Manager access to the Web service to retrieve and store comments and ratings. If you want to aggregate comments and ratings from multiple Content Delivery instances, you can configure multiple end points. - Granting UGC moderation rights
By default, only administrator-level users can moderate, modify or delete comments and ratings. To enable non-administrator users to manage comments and ratings, grant them UGC moderation rights. - Configuring UGC for HTTPS
If your Content Delivery Web service uses HTTPS, perform some additional configuration in the UGC web.config file. - Configuring UGC for single sign-on
If your Content Manager uses single sign-on, perform some additional configuration in the UGC web.config file. - Enabling logging for UGC
By default, the installer has set up UGC to not produce any logs, because logging adversely affects performance. However, if you find yourself faced with an implementation that does not function as you would like, and you want to obtain logging, you can enable logging. - Setting up UGC for SiteEdit
If you install UGC on a system that also runs SiteEdit, additional manual steps are required to make SiteEdit work again.
