The opening post contains a list of requested features. I do not develop myself. This thread is intended to either make developers aware of the demand for a reviews CMS, or to collectively hire developers to create this for us.

In recent months we have been waiting for various developers to come through. Unfortunately this does not seem to result in the release of a working & advanced reviews CMS. Its getting time to either attract a reliable party to create this solution, or to hire a party to create it.

vb-commercial is indeed one of my sites.

Alfa1,

I just found this thread because I was looking for a review site. I have written to a few other companies out there that make reviews, but do not yet have a plug in for vB, but they do have plug ins for other forum platforms which would lead me to think they might do it for vB. If they would charge we could pool our money and get it done. If that does not work then let's just go hire some programers with the specs you have created, pay the money and get this done. Have you priced this with programmers yet?

Okay I have an Idea of a featured content widget with no slider or javascript. Very plain, and doesn't put extra load on to your home page load times.

How about we make a Featured Content Box type of thing like Wordpres. It will be a widget that will static images and text below with a read more link all pulled from the 3 -4 articles we want to feature. it has to be done in a way so that it doesn't load every time and cause server loads or delays.


something like this...

Finally got so tired of waiting for others to climb on board here, ireviews looked the best so I just bought it.

Thanks for the link and good luck to everyone!

Cheers!

Can you please post a thorough review of ireviews? Does it work with VBSEO? Thanks.

Full iReview (vbcover) is: Don't waste your money on iReviews . ( http://www.vbcover.com/ireviews.php ) It was a waste of $129.99, bloated and did not work the way I expected. It needed template alteration ( okay, I can do that, but you cannot customize it to our need). It needed support code changes because it was dated, and we are not able to customize how reviews are rated in the open post. In other words, if I want to populate my content first and allow my users to comment or rate a product, I must always be forced to rate it too, otherwise it disabled the entire rating process!

This is not acceptable because it would be like a store always giving their product a 5 star. Something so simple like that cannot be disabled. After that downer, it was in the garbage.

Unfortunately, there demo is really lame. You cannot know the details until you download it and iReviews has your money. After one hour I knew it was not for us and begged for a refund. Not a chance there. No refund. You touch you pay.

To describe what I need in words: I want to be able to add products exact to what the manufacturer specs are ( unrated), with one image and then below, allow readers to rate the product or add a comment of any size.
I don't want to be forced to rate a product I add.

Here is an example of what we are looking for (without the need to sell it), we are not a store:

So you need the function to just have a product presentation without editor rating, but with user rating?

Anything else?

Yes!

ROFL!

I will add it to the feature list:

• Option to choose to only have editor rating functions or only user rating functions or both.

perfect.

If adding content was as easy as creating a thread, that would be ideal. Everything I do is copy/paste.
