Geocache Rating Feedback System

This is a sample implementation of visitor feedback for the difficulty and terrain ratings of a cache. It's not perfect, but what do you expect from a proof-of-concept?

If such a system were implemented as part of the official geocache site, it could have some additional features that are not possible here, including:

• Submitting feedback would be implemented as part of the log submission process, so that only cache visitors can give feedback on a cache.
• Rating feedback submitted by a user could be stored with that user's cache visit data. This would allow a user to view their own rating for a cache, and if they re-rate a cache it would allow the new rating to replace the old instead of adding to it.

Usage of this system is fairly simple. Just add the following bit of HTML to your cache page (using the GC number for your cache, of course):

The result will look something like this:

Geocache Rating Feedback for GC0000
Cache visitor rating average:
If you have visited this cache, you may submit your own rating.

Feel free to play around with this sample to see how it works.
