vb.org Archive - Major Additions - Product Review Forums ? Research, Review & Compare Items

It's a vb setting (for thread title length) so probably wouldnt be hard to find the variable for it from vb and then either truncate or replace the post title if it exceeds that? For us we don't care so much about the post title so we made it just the rating.

While I totally want to see people grow their sites and make that easy [hence all the free mods], I'm certain that this passes the "risk to reward" threshold. Sorry!

If you want to take your forum beyond a certain point you really have to either learn some code or hire someone who knows it. There's great resources for both here @ vB.org too

What I will do is make a test forum just for this until I can get this working. So if anything does go wrong, it is only a test forum.

Thanks!

""Good or bad everyone wants to know what you think. Write a review and share your opinion of ********
Your review comments must be at least 1 characters long.""

This mod on my board is giving the above message for everyone that attempts to give a review for a product. Is there something I can check to stop this?

It will still put things into moderation I suspect [although i'm not sure why] but I'm wondering if you'll be able to properly approve them afterwords...

That didn't work ted, still cant approve them in the front end VB moderation.

The code you're looking at is:

Code:

<vb:if condition="!$show['notificationtype']">                    

        <ul class="threadstats td alt" title="<vb:if condition="$thread['dot_count'] > 0">{vb:rawphrase have_x_posts_in_thread_last_y, {vb:raw thread.dot_count}, {vb:raw thread.dot_lastpost}}</vb:if>">

        <li>{vb:rawphrase prodforums_rating,{vb:raw thread.pf_rating}}</li>

        <li>{vb:rawphrase prodforums_reviews,{vb:raw thread.pf_reviews}}</li>

        <li class="hidden">{vb:rawphrase rating}{vb:raw thread.rating} / 5</li>

        </ul>

</vb:if>

Ok thats brilliant, I have managed to change it back to normal which looks ace with your help and a user previously who posted a conditon.

One last question then I am finally done! How can I get the 'thread' icon to look like normal if not a review?

Oh and I've noticed when on the activity stream if I click on the title of a product, it redirects me to a "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator" error. The URL at that point is - http://www.midwiferyonline.co.uk/showthread.php?t=[ARG:4

If you don't want the icons and threads why not just remove the hack to forumdisplay.php all together?

The icon is controlled a little higher up in the same template.

Because I want them to show for the products just not the normal threads, within the forum.

Or have I completely missed something?

Thanks I'll try that other file tomorrow as on iPad now.

Any idea regarding the product titles in the activity stream?
