Advanced Rating

Enable the internal rating system, used for calculating values from trackers, articles, or other features.

Rating recalculation mode:

Determines when and how rating aggregates are recalculated:
* On vote (default): indicates that the score for the object should be recalculated every time a vote is performed. This option is suitable for sites with lower volumes and relatively simple calculation methods when ratings are used.
* Random on load: will cause a few scores to be calculates on page load on a random basis (odds and count can be configured to adapt to site load). This option is suitable for calculation rules involving time that must be recalculated even if no new votes occurred.
* Random on vote is similar to random on load, but will recalculate multiple scores (not necessarily including the current object) when a vote is performed. It is suitable for similar situations. The best option will depend on site load.
* Periodic: is the best option for heavy load sites, making sure all calculations are done outside the web requests. A cron job must be set-up manually by the site's administrator. A sample script is available at the end of this page.
Depending on the site load, some options may be better than others; on large volume sites, we recommend cron job. The Recalculate on vote recalculation may be inaccurate if rating calculation depends time.
Before any attempt to re-index the object: Ties into the Search Index and updates the calculation at index-time.
