[DBTech] DragonByte Reviews v1 (vB4)

[DragonByte Tech]

DragonByte Reviews is an advanced review system that allows you to get your users interacting with your forums on a new level

Uses

With a wide range of permissions, you can allow your users to create/rate reviews, and customize it to your liking. You can also setup separate instances of the review system with different rating questions, custom fields and a review front page look.

You can even tie the review system into any product system with a little custom work.

Major Features

Multiple Instances: You can run an unlimited number instances of the review system on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it with the help of the customizable display blocks, custom fields and custom rating questions.

AJAX integration: We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads, including adding/viewing comments and rating reviews

Images in WYSIWYG editor: We added the vB WYSIWYG editor with the ability to add inline images into the review text so that you can create reviews that pop.

Front End and ACP Approval: Review approval and editing can be done quickly through either the front end by moderators or in the ACP by adminstrators.

[kiba snowpaw]

i may try this out later looks good to review anime on

[lazytown]

Very interesting. Willing to pay for one that does what I want.

Will this allow an admins/mods to create a bunch of product listings that users can then rate? I don't mind users creating their own reviews first, but I also want to be able to create a bunch of products (not that I'm selling) that I then want users to review/rate (sort of like Amazon reviews or other review sites ).

After the initial review/product is posted, are additional users then able to add their mini reviews with a rating? And if so, can those mini reviews be thumbed up or down and then listed according to how useful they are? (just like amazon)

Another good addition would be if we could include an affiliate link, or automatic affiliate link with redirect.

Some type of mass-import from a csv file could be useful in a pro version.

Right now no. The reviews are stand alone and users can rate/comment on them. I've had a couple requests for this kind of system on it, so I'm sure the next time I work on it I'll add something like that to it.

One question, how would the affiliate link work?

The one that Chris did had the ability to upload audio.(Only single file)
Maybe using jplayer for both single and multiple files. Other than that, I like this.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've added the request for audio files to our tracking tool. I'll look at adding it in the next feature release.

This only happens when adding youtube videos, everything else is fine.

Would the first post be the review and the following posts comments? I looked at your forum and it looks like all the info is within the post, no custom fields on there? I could build an importer for it but there would have to be a lot of clean up done after if you wanted it setup right.

Yep, that's right - mainly. That data has been through a few imports and at least 3 review systems (a custom one, GARS, another I don't recall the name of) over the last 13 years before being archived as a forum after the upgrade to vB4, so it's a bit messy.

Dylan

[DragonByte Tech]

If you haven't figured it out, make sure you have review questions filled out and the review instance has questions assigned to it. If you do and it's still not working let me know and I'll take a look.

Also the pictures aren't resizing very well. What dimensions should they be ideally?

Can you take a screenshot or point me to a messed up image? I'm not sure what not resizing right.

I read the post and it has a lot of good ideas. It's a different direction then I was thinking when I wrote it but I think it's also a good one. I'll look at making it optional to have it more of an admin/moderator driven review system where the users main function is to rate and comment.

Dylan

[adambloch]

Hi Dylan

The suggestion of a admin/mod driven system gets my vote.... it would be great if it was a little like a restaurant review system that could have google map locations etc...

Being able to weight the stars would also be good.

many thanks

Adam

[Chris27]

Just installed this and most things work great. However, the rating stars aren't working. There is no place to select the stars while writing a review and when viewing the reviews page all the star ratings are gray.

Any ideas?

[Chris27]

Forget it. I figured it out.

[My Hattiesburg]

I think that an update to this mod after 1.0.2 added the ability to import an existing forum, but I can't find a definite answer to that. Has anyone done this? I've installed the newest update but I don't want to try this yet until someone tells me for sure that it does work.

[DragonByte Tech]

I do believe that is the case, yes. I'm not sure if it's Pro-only, but it's likely.

Nr two is when I try to add pictures, it sends me to a blank page (does not when its not included pictures in the review) The review is posted, but I have to change the url to get out of the blank page.

I'm just asking her, in case some have the solution :)

Remove or disable "Pro List" and "con List"
Remove or disable "Review Summary"
Change "Title" to "Restaurant Name"
Add more than one "select field" custom field

[rwurbanwildlife]

I have many review categories, one custom field is lets say "odometer reading" fieldid: 3 but I have a category called "DVD players"

Obviously I do not want the custom field "odometer" to show up in "DVD player" categoryid: 5 but want it to only show up in "automobiles" categoryid: 7

Fantastic Mod' I have it running on localhost where I am testing the functionality before installing on my forum, some thing I was wondering,

Is there a way to have a filter results letter list for easier searching of Reviews, like the letters (# through to Z) bar seen in the Memberlist here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/memberlist.php

Nominated for MOTM. :)


*edit*

Sorry to be a nuisance chap, I have noticed whilst testing this out on local host that comments on reviews are being ordered oddly, the newest comment is listed first, is there a way of changing this so the newest comment is last, many thanks for this excellent Mod' and your much appreciated support.

[Zohhak]

Hi, i have some questions:

1. I noticed, that the ratingpoints of the original creator are lost, when someone different edits the review.

2. Is it possible to enable the upload from computer option in the comment-editor. So far only upload from URL are available.

3. Are there any options to enable editing of comments? At the moment my users have to delete their posts and recreate it, but that leads to multiple notfications in the shoutbox.

4. Would it be possible to remove the review image button from the comments editor. i don't see any use in it.

Thanks for any hints and help.

Maybe I'm an idiot but where do I set the permissions to allow user to make reviews? In usergroup permissions for example all it asks: is Admin?. Below is a screen shot from my Registered Member Group.

[robbyg]

I just wanted to run a test on this since it has all the permissions that Chris version lacks.

After I did an import I found that none of the extra fields had a box to enter text, only the labels are visible. Also I cannot find anyway to actually rate a product, all the stars are greyed out!
Is there any documentation on making a new review, I don't see an option to do that.

I also have some questions about the product.

1) Can you do multiple ratings on the product with labels for each?

example
Construction Quality: XXX
Fun to Operate: XXXXX
Value For Money: XX

2) Can it do more than 5 stars, like 10 stars or Bars

3) Can the Parent item for review be listed down the left side like Chris version and then when you click on the parent it opens up child items? Or is it limited to a drop down box only?

Thanks
Rob

[RichieBoy67]

If someone has set this mod up but now wants to remove it is it possible to export those reviews to forums?

I know this seems unlikely but I have a client who wants to do this and I am not familiar enough with the mod to give a definitive answer without asking.

Unfortunately that's not possible at our end, it would have to be specifically programmed.

Sorry :(

[Kirauni]

Thank you very much for this great mod. That was exactly what I have been looking for. However, I encountered some problems. I set the permissions right for each usergroup, but my users are not able to rate a review. They can click on the stars and then on "rate it", but the ratings don't "stick". Only the reviewer's ratings are visible and the user's rating isn't. I tried re-installing the plugin, but it didn't work unfortunately. I also checked if all files were uploaded correctly, but that didn't help either.
On top of that, I enabled guests (unregistered users) to rate reviews. However, that's not possible either. Is it just me or are others having the same issues? Or is it because I'm using the lite version of DBTech Reviews?
I'd be glad if you could help me find a solution. Thanks!

Edit: There seems to be something wrong with the permissions, too. I tried to disable the rating for a usergroup, but when I reloaded the page, the usergroup was still able to rate. It didn't save their ratings either, but they shouldn't be able to click on the rating stars to begin with, should they?

Edit 2: Oh and I forgot... I properly connected some custom questions with the instance so that shouldn't be the problem.

Edit 3: All right, I've tried out a few things now. It seems like there's a problem with the instance's permissions. As an admin, I can rate user reviews properly. When I give a user admin rights, he can rate them as well. So with keeping that in mind, I tried to set the permissions and I found out that I must set these permissions to "YES" if I want the registered users to be able to vote properly.

Can View Review --> YES
Can Rate Reviews --> YES
Can Mod Others --> YES
Can Comment --> YES

I understand that a user must be able to view a review and to rate it in order to rate it, that's logical. But what about "Mod Others" and "Can comment"? What exactly does "Mod others" mean? Whenever I turn those two off for registered users, they are not able to vote anymore. Is it just me or are others having the same issues? Is it a bug or a feature? I'd be really glad if somebody could help me on this. Thanks!

[Kirauni]

Thank you for your reply. Unfortunately, I've already tried that. I'm sorry I didn't mention this before because I didn't know there were differences. But I'm currently using v1.0.8pl3.
And there are some several other issues, I'm afraid.


According to my permissions, all users of the group "administrators" are also able to approve the reviews. However, only one of our admin gets the PNs and the notification. It would be good to be able to define who should or should not get these notifications.
When an admin edits a user's review, the user's rating disappears and the admin is somehow "connected" with it. That means the admins are not able to vote, after they edited a user's review. Only when the users edit their reviews again, the problem can be solved.
numberes/ordered Lists in the reviews don't work properly.


As I mentioned above, I really like your skript and the idea of it and I'm still interested in buying the pro version. But with all these little bugs it''s really difficult to use it as planned. I'd be glad if either your or somebody of your team could look into them. Thanks!

[BlackxRam]

Just a couple of things :) Having fun testing out the addon though.

I can't locate the area to rate my own reviews or rate others. I have those options turned on but I don't see where the area is in the actual reviews.

I'd love to be able to add BB codes into these review categories and custom fields to make my reviews more dynamic. But seems they don't support bb codes at all. I have reviews that I would like to add Video PRO's to and Video CON's to. But the video bb code that is standard with VB is not supported here. Besides BB codes being recognized in things like the multiple check box would allow things like images to be used in the checkbox options rather than just plain old text. Giving reviews more flare and diversity.

+ to bb codes for all fields

It would be really nice if the primary image would NOT show up in the gallery listing of the review body. Sometimes I use custom small images for my "Head Images" and I would not want to see that image alongside review images. Plus, my site is very video heavy when it comes to the media added to a review. It makes the reviews more personable and exciting but the videos get buried behind the "primary image" in the gallery. I have noticed a work around though while playing with the script that if I upload a Primary Image and then delete it the primary image still shows in the review body but disappears from the Gallery.

+ to hiding the primary image from the gallery as an option

When a video is added to the review post via the add youtube link it shows up in the gallery as if its just another image. Especially if the gallery has several things listed. It would be nice to offer options to identify "VIDEOS" in the gallery and also options to possibly sort them so they can be easily accessed.

+ Gallery Identification and Sorting

+ This Mod could also really use a Image Upload Custom Field with size options

+ An option to "FEATURE" a review for a set time period would allow a user to showcase a particular review highlighted somewhere on the main page of the reviews. This option could be set either in AdminCP or right in the review itself.

+ An option to associate a review with a different user on the forums would be a nice addition. This would come in handy when reviews are posted in someone else's name and an admin wants to give credit where credit is due.

+ An option to promote a thread on the forums directly to a review would be great for admins that want to highlight great discussions on their forums that deserve special limelight.

[BlackxRam]

This mod has a lot of great ideas but could become amazing with some tweaks.

[BlackxRam]

Nevermind.

[robbyg]

I am looking at some of your photos of the reviews and I noticed that one of them shows a car review with six category's of rating stars. So far I have not been able to get the single rating to work, they are all greyed out. Maybe I am missing something simple. But I have looked through almost all the software and I cannot find a section that allows me to add in multiple criteria for rating a product. How is this done?

Thanks

[robbyg]

Never mind I figured it out, although the system wording is a bit cryptic.

[tomshawk]

I may have a use for this product but I have a few questions if you do not mind

1) Does the system give the ability to review an existing product, meaning not start a new everytime. I do not see that in the OP?
If it does, can the addition of the Product be Approve/Deny separately from the Review?
It we can add product separately, can that be enabled/disabled per usergroup?
2) You say you can customize the questions, does the system allow for dropdowns and possibly 50 of them with different options in each dropdown, as an example.
3) I see we can upload a pic, can we upload more per product if that option is available above, not just the insert in the review?
4) Can we tell the editor to not allow uploading of pics in the editor?
5) I assume those widgets on the main page pic can be disabled, just checking?
6) Can the rating system, "Stars" be disabled or changed to a numeric 1 - 10
7) Can we add more then one type of rating, say we have 4 different things we rate on and each getting a rating of 1 thru 10
8) I have not read thru this entire thread, is this compatible with 4.2.2

Thank you for your time, I look forward to hearing from you

Never mind I figured it out, although the system wording is a bit cryptic.

I have the same issue, what did you do to get the stars to start working?

Thanks

If you right click the broken image and open it in a new tab, what does it say on the page?

Is this software being worked on any more? I have had my eye on it for some time but it doesnt look like it has received much support. If I would have purchased this software back in October for a lifetime license I would feel a bit cheated right now because of the lack of support and updates. I do believe the last activity on the software was August 2015. What incentive is there for someone to buy a whole year if its going to be a whole year before it see's any kind of update?

Don't get me wrong, I think the software is awesome. But the future viability of it looks bleak based on it's history. I hope the trend changes.

From what I have seen, DBTech is very good about supporting their products in a professional and timely manner. If you don't see much activity going on in one of their product threads, it could just be the case that everyone is happy and there are no (major) issues being reported and no need for added features, etc. as everything everyone needs is already accounted for. :)

Firstly, thank you for your interest :)

Right out of the gate I'd like to clarify the difference between updates and support. All of our products are supported. The tickbox here @ vb.org isn't just there for show. If someone reports a bug, we do our best to resolve it in a timely manner.

When it comes to updates, I'd like to draw your attention to this particular section of our profile:

https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/external/2016/04/39.png

Even if we had a team of full-time developers, actively producing updates for every single modification on that list would be impossible. The fact is, we don't have a large team - in fact, I am the only full-time developer. Our other developers are sub-contractors, not employees. They have day jobs that take priority.

I bring this up because under no circumstances do we guarantee any amount of updates to our products regardless of license length. The prices of our modifications are way, way too low to offer any such guarantees. If there were any such guarantees, we would need to charge 10x more per product, perhaps even more.
In other words, all our products are sold as-is. We offer free Lite versions even though we lose a lot of money by offering products with 70%+ of the functionality of the Pro version for this exact reason. If someone does not believe the existing Pro-only features are worth the asking price of the modification then we ask that they please do not buy the Pro version until they feel the Pro features are worth the asking price.


The rest of this post represents my own personal thoughts, not that of DragonByte Technologies as a company.

I feel this adequately addresses your point about feeling cheated, but I'd like to add that I also feel like our pricing structure works in the consumer's favour, even in situations where we aren't able to deliver feature updates within a customer's purchased license length.
If they just want the current version and they don't have a lot of money, they can buy the 3 Month version and renew if/when we have added significant value to the product (in their eyes).
If they want the current version and ensure that any new vB4 versions in the near future won't break our mods, they can buy the 1 Year version.
If they want to ensure that they will always be able to run the latest version, they can buy the Lifetime version.

Even the cost of a Lifetime license would not come close to covering the cost of the development. In fact, I would be hard pressed to find a single product we sell that has sold enough to cover existing development cost, never mind the time spent providing support (time which could be spent developing new features to any product). That's not to say our products have not sold well, but consider that a product that took 3 months to develop would be 8 hours x 5 working days x 30 days in a month x 3 months = 3,600 man-hours ? $35/hr = $126,000. Even by our most expensive products, $200 for a Lifetime version, that would require 630 Lifetime licenses sold in order to recoup development cost. That assumes that all 630 sales happened on day 1 and they require absolutely no support, which I'm sure you can agree is ludicrous.

Now if we wanted to get crazy, we could pretend that all of our products only took 1 month to develop, didn't involve weekends (haha), required no time to support, so let's do the math for our 74 vB4 releases.
8 hours x 5 working days x 30 days in a month x 74 products = 88,800 man-hours ? $35/hr = $3,108,000.
Even if we then assumed every product cost $200, that would be 15,540 licenses in total needing sold, just to recover development costs.

Obviously this math is horribly wrong since not every product took a whole month to develop, but I hope this illustrates why it's simply not feasible to deliver timely updates for every single product.

So looks that everything works fine but on main page the "Reviews" tabs , it does not show for registered users! for admins works fine. I try to see if is something related to permissions but i can't figure out where is at.

Any advice in how to fix this?

Thanks.

Update: Found the permission was off for registered users. Works now.

[Burnt]

Had it work the first time I tried this.. but now not sure what I'm doing wrong.. Even went as far as reinstalling everything. I can get the review to show to Registered Users but it won't let them review even tho it's ticked to allow them to.. tron3kgaming.com

*EDIT* So went through every tick and the one that allows Registered Users to "Rate It" is the one that says, Can Mod others?! Why would that be for rating and not the one that says Can Rate Reviews?
