Reviews Mod Support (Modzzz)

This is the support forum for the Reviews mod.

Version 2.0.1 released. (See patches/version 2.0.1 folder)

Add Country to Reviews so Products can be listed by both Category and Country if desired.

Hi Modzz,

Nice module! However i do have a question :-) ... is it possible to give a review over several aspects. For example, a notebook review

Speed : 1 out 5 stars

Graphics : 2 out of 5 stars

Harddisk : 5 out of 5 stars

And of course display those stars?

No, that functionality does not exist.

I do not see an Activate Points for Reviews option in the Reviews module settings. How do I turn on Points for the Reviews module?

Hello Modzzz,

One question why all your modules they look all the same

do you rename the modules and add some extra fuction to make look diferents but for me they all look the same thing I like to buy some couple mods from you but they all the same maybe I can do the same and try something

Check the readme_points_integration.txt . Once you do the integration, a block for the Reviews with appear in the Actions section of the Points module and you can manage the actions there.

I ran sqlpoints.php but did not get a Reviews section in the Points module. I did notice that I had a Petitions section but I never bought your Petitions module.

I then went and looked at the sqlpoints.php file. The database queries are all about petitions.

Could you have packaged the wrong sqlpoints.php version with Reviews 2.0.1?

UFO,

If Modzzz's mods have a similar front end, it is to help your members use the features more easily.

Underneath, his mods work and work well.

How much do you value your time? I seriously doubt you could write your own scripts (and debug them) fast enough to make it worth avoiding the very reasonable prices Modzzz charges for his mods.

I had corrected this issue already. Download the sqlpoints.php file again and run it.

Just upgraded to 2.0.2, works great!

Only request I have is for users to be automatically redirected after applying their rating. As of yet (on my site) it will let them rate the product and stays on the same page, forcing them to click back to the product.

Version 2.0.3 released. (See patches/version 2.0.3 folder)

Updated for compatibility with Dolphin 7.0.7.

Adds missing subscriptions template.

Version 2.0.4 released. (See patches/version 2.0.4 folder).

Fixes issue with duplicate category field showing on the edit page.

Version 2.0.5 released. (See patches/version 2.0.5 folder)

Fixes issue where Fans could not upload media (if permission is given).

 The latest update fixes this issue. 

To correct an issue with the country language string not translated on the search page, download the mod again and replace this file :

    modules\modzzz\reviews\classes\BxReviewsFormSearch.php

I would like members to be able to quickly add photos to a review not created by them (and not edit the review details). Is this difficult to implement?

 It cannot be done with the default module but could be achieved with some customization.

I don't think Categories & Sub-categories are going to be enough for me.  I need another level for better organization.  Something like this:

Group 1

Category 1

Sub Cat 1

Sub Cat 2

Sub Cat 3

Category 2

Sub Cat 1

Sub Cat 2

Sub Cat 3

Group 2

Category 1

Sub Cat 1

Sub Cat 2

Sub Cat 3

Category 2

Sub Cat 1

Sub Cat 2

Sub Cat 3

Group 3

Category 1

Sub Cat 1

Sub Cat 2

Sub Cat 3

Category 2

Sub Cat 1

Sub Cat 2

Sub Cat 3

My problem is, I have a lot of categories, and when they get mixed together, navigation is confusing.  Things need to be better organized.

Is there a demo for this ? Checked dolphin mods site and 0 reviews

I don't need sub categories, how do i remove the option ??

Which part of this do i delete

                    ),

'display' => 'getPreListDisplay', 

                ),

You cannot simply remove the sub-categories here alone. The mod itself would have to be re-worked to use categories only.

 Agree... it would be an improvement to make sub-categories an option, i.e. that we can decide to not use/have sub categories if that is better for our website.

This mod is not working as expected, when users post reviews the stars are not saving correctly 

carpbook.co.uk/m/reviews/home/

It happens when a user tries to post a review, they cannot select the rating :( 

5 days later and mod is still broken, MEMBERS can not post a review as when they click the stars it does not work.

Please help

 The issue has been noted and will be investigated later this week.

Version 2.0.7 released. (See patches/version 2.0.7 folder)

Fixes issues with posting ratings.

I know you're busy updating all of your modules, but was wondering if you had time for a quick question.

I was able to install Reviews on 7.1b1 without any issues and it appeared to work fine. Trying on a 7.1b2 deployment & get the following error on install:

-- -- There are errors in the following MySQL queries:
-- -- Error:
INSERT INTO `sys_menu_top` (`ID`, `Parent`, `Name`, `Caption`, `Link`, `Order`, `Visible`, `Target`, `Onclick`, `Check`, `Editable`, `Deletable`, `Active`, `Type`, `Picture`, `Icon`, `BQuickLink`, `Statistics`) VALUES(NULL, 4, 'Reviews', '_modzzz_reviews_menu_my_reviews_profile', 'modules/?r=reviews/browse/my', @iCatProfileOrder, 'memb', '', '', '', 1, 1, 1, 'custom', '', '', 0, '');

A similar error occurs with Recipes & I have to go in and manually clean up the database afterwards. Any ideas?

Feature request:

Points integration where also product owner can give points to users that have provided meaningful reviews.

Merry X-Mas!

The problem is typically seen on sites where the menu has been re-arranged/modified. I have adjusted the Recipe mod to deal with this, download again. The Reviews mod is not yet updated for Dolphin 7.1

 The feature will be added but the Points will be allocated by the site (not the product owner)

Any word on when this will be updated for 7.1?

Sorry, no fixed date for the release. Product updates are still in progress. I have a huge collection of mods so it will take some time to complete all the upgrades.

This mod was re-written for Dolphin 7.1. See new version at http://www.boonex.com/m/reviews-2013-03-05

Existing clients can PM me and I will re-create their license for the new version (no cost of course)

Categories administration does not work.

I would expect to find a list of all the categories here, that I can add to, delete, or edit.  Then, you can't add a sub cat if you can't first select a main cat.

Also, navigation in the categories block is a little flaky.  When you drill down the category list, then click on "All Categories", you don't get a list of "All Categories".... all you see is this:

 Please re-download and re-upload the files then clear cache.

Much better... thanks

I have a problem with the way categories works.  Although sub categories are frequently needed, they are not always necessary. Therefore, 'Sub Category' should not be a required field when all reviews need only the top level category. 

On the input form,  sub category should be a dependent field that appears ONLY when a main category with sub categories is selected.  If you only need a top level category, it is not logical to add a single sub category just to make things work.

Version 2.0.4 released. (See patches/version 2.0.4 folder)

Updates made to the functionality of liking a feedback.
