Additional question - how on earth do you persuade vBulletin to display the created date on the product details/reviews page?

To make the location into a link, you'll just need to update the prodforums_matches_bit template again:
<a href="{vb:raw review.location}">click me</a>

You may also want to add some validation to the location string to insure it's a valid formatted URL. This can be done by adding to the hook location productforums_writereview_top (which will insure it stays intact if you upgrade the plugin down the road).

You can use one of many common regex strings (just google php regex for urls) for the check function depending on what you want to allow.

Use the variable createddate which vBulletin's template engine can format.

I tried both {vb:raw createddate} and {vb:var createddate} but neither of them work.

(vb:date createddate} just gives me Thu, 01 Jan 1970 00:00:00.

I tried them all with posteddate too. This isthe full list of things I've tried so far:

{vb:raw posteddate}
{vb:var posteddate}
{vb:raw createddate}
{vb:var createddate}
{vb:date createddate}
{vb:date posteddate}
{vb:var product.creatteddate}
{vb:var product.posteddate}
{vb:raw product.creatteddate}
{vb:raw product.posteddate}

I need to figure this out, partly because I want to add further product fields (pagecount, format, etc.) I'm learning stuff as I go, and getting this little bit wrking will hopefully mean I then know how to do it with other things.

prodforums_matches_bit isn't the right one - I meant where the actual review is. I guess it's a postbit template?

I've attached an image which hopefully explains it!

Another question. Sorry!

I see this code in productforums.php:

Now, can I copy that over to the product listing part of the file? And, if so, is there then a way I can use that $history thing (variable?) in the template to determine whether or not to display a link to review a product or a note that the user already has reviewed it?

Very cool (and needed) mod. I just installed it and am setting everything up. However the image uploader does not appear to work well with my version of vB (4.2.2). I have set the CHMOD for the upload directory a directed to 777, but am still getting a failed to open stream error on upload of images?

It's not the vBulletin version. I'm on 4.2.2 also, and it works fine. You issue is not related to your version of vBulletin.

In that case here is some of my PHP info?

Sadly, you're mistaking me for something more than somebody else who happened to install it on the same version.
