Is this functioning well with 4.1.7 ?

As marked, this beta mod works with 4.1.x

Hi Ted - many thanks for your mod - it really is great.

I did read that you were looking at a solution to 'bulk' import the products via xml or csv - This would of course be a fantastic addition.

Are you still planning on adding it?

Many Thanks,

Yes. XML imports will be a part of the next release which is turning into a rather large update the more I work on it.

CSV and other text formats will not be used as they become problematic when dealing with descriptions.

Product Forum users [and prospective users]... Very excited to announce the release of 1.1.0 beta -- a significant update to this modification based on member feedback.

New features include...

- New index allows browsing & searching of products
- After creating a review, users can share it to Facebook & Twitter
- Members can post products w/ modifcation & usergroup restrictions

- Review counts are shown on each user's profile page
- Products can now be grouped into categories
- Import product data quickly through XML feeds

And of course a few bug fixes...

- mySQL change to allow for capturing reviews per user
- Improved logic ot hide empty first posts [thanks to Adrian Schneider]
- Support for 4.0 - 4.1 with dual WYSIWYG editors

Given the scope of the update this is definitely a beta. Give it a whirl and let me know if you find any issues or something missing that I can add right in.

As big a change as this is, there's still a few features not included. See post #4 of this thread for what's coming up next.

Note for bigger boards: Upgrading will rebuild the productforums field in the user table. This can take a few minutes

To upgrade -

1- Upload all files again including the includes and xml scripts.
2- Upgrade the plugin file now found in the /do not upload/ folder
3- Review the Product Forums. Many new features require setting choices

WTF!! Take this plugin down it just renamed every post in my entire forums to a review name!

See next post. We've recreated the issue to debug it directly.

However if you are able to explain when exactly this happened it would be very useful as we are not certain when exactly the issue occurs.

From your brief description, presumably you had added one or more products and reviews when this occured...

Do you know what had last been done? Writing a review? Approving a review? Editing a review?

Had you updated from 1.0.4 before this occured or was it a new install?

Did you run any counter updates or other routines on your forum?

I've been able to re-create your issue, clearly reason to take the beta mod offline as we resolve this.

From the looks of it, one of the triggers to make new product threads or replies which runs through a vBulletin core engine is mis-firing and performing a hard update on other threads. Unfortunately on a clean install we are unable to make this happen again despite trying many variations of settings, even removing checks in the mod for validity... Hopefully we will be able to track this down and issue a release in the next few days.

This was a an updated install and I did recover my forums from a 4 day old backup but this happened as soon as I add a product...
