userInfo with Ranking Formula

Hi Lithium folks.  Can you please point me to some doc?

Thanks

Brian

Thank you, Claudius.  It's pretty much the same doc that's included inside the ranking page in the admin panel.

 Question:  Are the variables listed in the additional PDF document you provided scoped to only include data by member and not aggregate numbers for the entire community.  For example, the variable "net_accepted_solutions" only includes the number of accepted solutions for the authenticated member and not the entire community; is that correct?

Thanks

Brian

Hi Brian,

Yes, in relation to ranking formula your statement is correct:smileylol:.

 All the variables in the user metrics are user scoped.

Thanks!

Great thanks!

It looks like I have some gaps in the fields that I would like to evaluate and the ones in the documentation ('Ranking 11_7.pdf') that I have reviewed.  Can you pelase let me know what variables I would use to get at the following actions?

Respond to poll

Submit idea

Comment on idea

Your Idea is implemented

Create a TKB article

Blog post

Comment on a blog post

And two additional questions:

1)  How would I access the value of a custom profile field in the ranking formula?

2)  what is the TKB contribution score in the doc and how is it earned?

Thanks for the help,

Brian

Here are the variables (note, these are not the 'net' variables - so if somebody creates a blog article, deletes it, and then another one is created - the variable below credits them with two articles):

Respond to poll = n/a (not a metric / variable we're tracking on a per-user basis that can be presently used)

Submit idea = idea_thread

Comment on idea = idea_comments

Create a TKB article = tkb_articles

Blog post = blog_articles

Comment on a blog post = blog_comments

In regards to your two additional questions:

1)  How would I access the value of a custom profile field in the ranking formula?

Are you using an SSO token to populate the custom profile field?  If so, you would have to utilize the variable name in the token - EXAMPLE - a 'French' rank needs to have the following in the Ranking formula && (userInfo("profile.language") == "fr") in order for users to fall into the French version of the Rank ladder (where profile.language is the custom profile field variable).  If you're not using SSO to populate this field, please let me know in a subsequent post and I'll try to help.

2)  what is the TKB contribution score in the doc and how is it earned?

A very obscure question (but, also, a very good one).  This score is used to rank contributors for a TKB article that is a mashup of forum messages.  I'm pretty sure we dont expose it as a variable in our rank formulas (nor have I ever had a customer that wanted to use this score as a variable), but if you want to try out a variable, try message_contributor_relations

Thanks Jake!

I just want to clarify that no documentation exists for what paramters I can use when calling the "userInfo" function inside the ranking system?

Thanks much!

Brian

Are there net variables for these or are there "deleted" variables that I can compute the net?

Thank you Jake!
