Hi,
Ratings dependency inside the Forum application is not nicely done and I
agree that it adds a level of complexity not needed by the Forum app, so
I'm +1 for this removal.
Not sure how much more time it would take from a development point of view,
but instead of having a Forum specific vote class, how about creating a
generic -1/0/+1 vote mechanism, instead of Rating's 5 step mechanism.
This kind of voting -1/0/+1 could be used by Forum app, Ideas app (has a
pro/contra feature), any application that could want maybe a Facebook
'Like' mechanism or other applications that requires a simple voting
system.
It could be called Vote application, using VoteClass, etc.
Thanks,
Caty

Hi,
I'm working on "XAForum application" (
github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-forum2<
https://github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-forum2m2>)
and I found some issues due to "Ratings application" (
github.com/xwiki-contrib/application-ratings) dependency, examples :
- Rating stars are displayed on every page (maybe the admin who installed
the application doesn't expect or want this behavior. It has already been
reported as an issue too :jira.xwiki.org/browse/XAFORUM-26)
- XAForum app vote and ratings app vote use the same object (same XClasse)
which may lead to a wrong result. XAForum vote expects only +1 (== means I
like) on a topic, however Rating app vote expects 1 to 5 (5 stars) on a
page, which means if a user rate a topic page +5, this means too, there are
5 other users like this topic, which is wrong !!
To avoid these issues, I think we need to remove the ratings app dependency
from XAForum app and implement a specific vote for this (XAForum) app.
WDYT ?
Thanks,
Sofiane Baloul
