Simple yes/no usefulness rating for Plone content, enables e-mail notification

Introduction

This product adds a viewlet which allows users to rate the usefulness of a content item.

It also registers an Event which can be used in Plone’s Content Rules so that an e-mail can be sent immediately after a rating has been submitted.

  • Clicking “Yes” immediately submits

  • Clicking “No” shows a comment field and submit button

• Enables immediate e-mail notification, with the rating value (“Yes” or “No”) and rating comment (in the case of “No”) as e-mail variables.
