Hi Ted S,

Thanks for your prompt reply.

Ok cool, will have to see if I can find it. I am currently using VB 4.0.4.

Ok I figured out how to add the Reviews to the specified forum areas. Didn't think that one through enough before posting. Sorry for that :(.

That's fairly old... probably why the error.

Hi,

I've been testing the Mod for a few days now and I'd just like to say it is excellent.

To keep up the tradition, there is a but...

firstly can I add a vote to the custom rating fields being controlled on the review by product category, product sub categories sounds good to me as well.

I think a lot more development effort, but my third vote would be for a mechanism to control product field labels by category. e.g. Create 5 additional fields in the product table on the DB and then have a mechanism to apply different labels to the user based on the product category. Obviously these fields could not be used for structured searches as the data wouldn't necessarily be relevant across product categories but it would allow more flexibility for uses where you want users to create data, but at the same time make it more obvious / structured to what they populate where.

The next thing is a funny that has me stumped, but this could be vb related, which I am also new to. When I posted my first review to a product I noticed that the custom rating fields in the review, posted with the html tags visible.

<strong>Quality</strong>: 1 stars<br><strong>Value for Money</strong>: 1 stars<br>

However I carried on testing, creating new products, reviews etc. When I went back to the original review that had the problem it was displayed correctly without the tags. (though there is a possibility that I did edit the post, which I guess may have corrected it)

Now though I have another product that has 2 reviews, with the custom rating fields showing the tags. One review was created by my admin account the other was created by a normal user account. Once I spotted this problem I tried to creating another review, however this was created fine displaying no html tags.

I'm 99% certain that no configuration changes have been made between posting the various reviews, and unfortunately I'm not able to replicate the issue.

I guess it is something unique to my set up, and as it is no longer happening not really a problem, however I thought I'd mention it in case it does happen to someone else, or someone can tell me the error of my ways!

Thanks again for the excellent mod

.

Sure... Noted :D

We insert the HTML but vBulletin's CSS kills it in many cases depending on your theme although it should happen all the time or none... perhaps the admin had rights to post it while the users did not thus the parser filtered differently... It's on the table to revisit.

Dumb question: can members add products or does this have to be done by an administrator?

-Someone who should have never upgraded to VB4 because it killed GARS.

Members can add products if you enable it on their usergroup.

They cannot upload images but they can provide urls which will import if you want to use the thumbnail options.

For some reason, my Create Product Review button is not showing up in the forum section anymore, not sure if I mixed up a setting but it was there before...

Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

The setting is in two places: the overall mod option and per-usergroup. Check both then check that your forumdisplay templates aren't missing any default hooks.

Ted,
I checked the forumdisplay.php file, and my edit is still there.

I am also checking the control panel options and nothing...where exactly would that feature be at there? Just want to double check...it's weird because i had it there...

Also, inquiring about the following:

Is there a way that when a user adds a url for the product image, it can automatically be downsized to the thumbnail sizes etc, like it does when manually uploaded to server?

And, is there a way that a usergroup pre-defined, can have access to moderate the approval of a submitted review? I made a specific usergroup that can submit reviews, I want to be able to allow them to approve the product reviews, but I dont want them to have access to my admin panel.

Thanks!
