I know this needs a update, I will try to get to it as soon as I can.

I see you don't have the mod marked as installed though?

Hi Ozz
Sorry about that, I just marked it as installed.
I also noticed that I cannot edit or remove a community rating/comment. Worst yet I cant even moderate them! So if someone decides to leave a very nasty comment it just goes up on the board live under the main review.

I know your a busy guy, but please see if you can help us. This is a good Mod but it just needs a little TLC to make it great.

Ozzy I did find out that users can actually edit or delete their own Ratings/Comments using the "my reviews" option but the Admin or Mod cannot edit or delete it. Could even this one thing be transferred from the members control to the Admin? Seems like it could be an easy patch.

I am using this mod quite solidly now, though still have a few issues I can't work out. Look forward to any updates mate! Great mod

Hey Ozzy, this is definately a great Mod so i give a big thumbs up. From my side the only issue was the RSS feed as well. I came right with the Classifieds mod. However i see there is a missing rss.php file which classfieds has but not reviews. Looking forward to the update bud

How are you preventing abusive comments from your members?
Are you just limiting the review section to Mods?
I agree that this is a great piece of software but how do you implement it for regular members if you have no moderation over what they post?

Use this link to check your rss feeds. Either post your link an ozz can see the errors or post the error if it's not to much.
http://validator.w3.org/feed/

Ozz is aware of the error, as it was the classifieds mod i first had issues with. The error received when i try to preview the feed in reviews is : XML Error: XML_ERR_NAME_REQUIRED at Line 147. Thanks for the validator which says the feed does not validate. Yet is obtained when click the get rss button

Has anyone found a method for allowing users to make comments and use community ratings but still be able to moderate, edit or delete them? I cannot figure out a way to make this add-on useful to the community if I cannot at least do basic moderation on the comments they make.
Is there any kind of kludge work around that someone has found?

Until Ozzy can get some fixes for the the Community ratings section I did find a temporary Kludge solution.

1) Go into CP of your host and run phpadmin.
2) Open the "VB3_reviews_user_ratings" section and look for the user review you want to delete.
3) Press Edit on that review and set the isreview value to "1" and it will no longer be visible.
4)You can also leave isreview = 0 and edit the review comments if you want to keep it but just want to change the wording or remove foul language.

Warning if you leave it and just change the wording the original author can easily open it again using "my ratings" and change it back. Unfortunately as the Admin you will have to go back and do the same thing again manually.

If you set the "isreview" to 1 then he cannot access it again but his ability to make a comment will be reset and he can make a new comment if he decides to keep playing games with you.

Hope this helps someone.
