Disclaimer - I don't know much about Wordpress. But after Todd's
postings about it during the recent funding effort, I decided to go back
and try again to use it (previous attempts have failed in a myriad of
features that appear to be documented only on videos - the least
time-effective way to learn anything :-)
So my limited knowledge might be enough to be dangerous ,.,..
Use a Worpress plugin. There are many review / rating system plugins
that should do almost anything you want. I've not actualy used any of
them, but have browsed through the descriptions of some, and it looks
like they'll be able to do almost anything you're likely to want ...

I have someone building a WordPress website for me. I personally do
not know WordPress. He doesn't know how to address the following
issue. I know how to do much of it through Livecode, but I'm not sure
how to integrate the two.
One feature of the site is that users get to input a rating on a
particular matter. This cumulative rating is then displayed at the site.
The following items need to occur. I am very comfortable writing the
back-end CGI code and processing it through LC.
1) when a given page is displayed, the cumulative rating needs to show
on that page. How do I make a wordpress page initiate a CGI/LC script
when that page is loaded, and display the result within a text block
on that page?
2) what method can I use to limit one user from entering only one
rating on a given matter? For example, I am asking users to rate a
particular video on the basis of its believability. I don't want any
one user to submit that rating on that particular video more than
once, thereby skewing the results. Does this require me to force users
to sign in with a username and password, then track that embedded
information when they submit a rating, or is there an alternative
which avoids signing in?
Thanks for any feedback.
