Extending the Application

This case study provides a very basic architectural overview of the application. Usually all rating functionality is piped through the RatingManager, so if you want to access rating data (f.e. read ratings for pages or clear ratings), you can use this class.



Additional Notes

Once the plugins and the template are installed, there might be need for additional plugins (depending on your page layout/design). These can be found in the built-in plugins directory in the administration interface. All source code referred to above will be delivered by netoCiety on purchase of the netoVation solution.

You will have to implement the design/layout yourself which will include the following steps:

  1. Upload the delivered layout Backupfile in Theme Builder's "Theme Administration" area
  2. Create a Space
  3. Manually upload the delivered attachments (layout files) in the Space
  4. Replace Apply the Layout to the Space (Administration > Choose Layout)
