Your usergroup permissions and the PRF options.

No. Users add links, not uploaded images. But if you run the sync script it will save them locally and resize for you.

Nope.

When i go to sync external images and click on the proceed button, nothing happens..

Do you get a white page? An error? Endless loading request?

Have you setup all the image folder / path options?

Hey Ted,

Thank you for your support, I'm sure it's a minor mistake on my part...


Right now I am creating a new product review and adding the photo url. So when I go to approve the review, I have to then save the image to my desktop or wherever, and manually upload it through the upload option. From what it looks like, by syncing it, it should allow me to just click that and it will automatically grab those image urls that have been added and add the photos, thumbnails etc automatically. Is that the way its supposed to work?

When I click on "Proceed" in the sync option, (when reviews are waiting to be approved), i get the following:

And I still have to manually upload the image. Are my folder permissions off?

That's hardly nothing ;)

Either your folder is not writable (chmod 755 or 777) or the path to it is not correct. Remember the path is from root, not local.

uninstalling this mod broke my forum. the user profile pages and "what's new" page don't work now.

Are you looking for help or just to tell us that you're not using the mod?

I'm having this same issue too. I understand that it follows the forum permissions, but what permissions exactly within VB would also dictate the ability for the products to go into Moderation?

Screen New Reviews? - Set to NO

I've been reading about this mod a lot in the thread, and I'm sure there's a way to skip the moderation queue completely... just struggling to find it through 97 pages.

Suggestions Ted?

Edit:: Also, I'm having issues with the Product_Create template. When someone goes to submit something and a required field isn't complete, it loops back to the page but doesn't generate any error text. I added a static phrase saying something like "If this page reloads after clicking Submit, please check all fields for completion.", but was hoping to add the logic code in to check the specific fields and notify the user.

The modification tries to overrule any forum settings but let's start there... Does the forum or usergroup have any moderation / posting restrictions placed on it? And of course I assume you're using the very latest version?

Is this with any field error or just a specific one?

Very latest forum version, just installed brand new so no moderation/posting restrictions.


This is with any required field on the Product Create page - no single specific one.

Ted, great product. I can't figure out why these thumbnails aren't showing.
Also when I upload a photo it doesn't show but in the FTP it will show its there. Permissions are 777

Thanks in advance

Have you checked the path in your pages against the folder structure?

After a triple check and troubleshoot, which you reminded me to do it works. Thanks Ted!

Just started uploading this - looks really good!

Would someone kindly point me in the direction of remove the UPC / ESIN / ISBN and the part number please?

Just edit the template to remove the field.

Hi Ted, Which template?

Hello I downloaded and installed and nothing happen. No error codes or anything. Have you heard of this, can you help?

Did you enable it in any forums or set the mandatory options as noted in the install file?

Please help me out here fella..

Search your templates and you'll find the one you want to edit.

Hi!
I'm struggling - where to set the admin rights for the AdminCP for another Admin.
Everything runs fine, but not I would like to give another admin rights for accessing the admin features and also approve products.
I searched for this setting, but do not find it - probably I'm just blind :confused:
please help.
Thank you in advance.

There is no distinct Admin function for this mod. If an admin can manager users / groups / posts they can access products.

Hi, i have managed to edit the correct templates.

I need to make some more changes if possible.

I have using this as a review mod, i dont want users to review a review so can i disable this and enable the reply to the thread option?

Cheers

Hi Ted!

Strange. I myself can access product fine. I have another admin who is also in the Admin Group - he can access the "Product Review Settings" in AdminCP, but as soon as he hits "Product Review items" (e.g Manage Products & Reviews) he gets an Access Denied from AdminCP. :confused:

Can you think of any reason for this behaviour?

Thank you in advance,
Regards,
Werner

Sure. Just turn off replies in the forum where reviews go.

Strange.

The permission check in the mod is for canadminposts [since reviews are post content]. Does this admin have the right to edit posts?

Your mod works great and does exactly what we need for our forum.

I have a small issue when trying to post a review.
On top of the web page I get the message:

I tried WYSIWYG and regular editor settings and both give me this error.

Any idea what could be wrong?

Thanks

EDIT: I installed the mod on another test server and the problem doesn't show up anymore

However I still have one more issue:

In the particular forum where my products and reviews go the "Post new thread" still shows up.

Edited the forumdisplay.php
have made the forum a PRF forum in the forum manager
Usergroups are allowed to use the MOd

The forum display is correct. It shows the picture thumbnail etc.

Just the "post new thread" is still there which is not supposed to be

Any help greatly appreciated

Posting threads is forum permission issues just like you'd do on any other forum without this mod running. Turn that off and you're good to go.

Thank you so much.
I should have thought of that.
I set in the forum manager this forum is open to NO and it works great.
It came up in my mind but I thought when a forum is not open your MOD wouldn't be able to post the thread in there which was obviously wrong thinking.

Now I added the code from post #1099 in my forumdisplay and the "Add new product" shows up nicely.

Great!

The mod goes through a number of checks to try and override forum rules for posting content [within the rules you set for the mod of course] but do be sure to check your moderation queue in case anything lands in there [and if so let us know].

This is a pre-test question:

I am developing a site and I'd like to include product reviews. This looks like it would be perfect. However, I still would like normal forum functionality.

Would it work if I created a child skin and modified that forumdisplay to your specs, then forced those forums to use that style?

Thanks!!

Sure but there's no need to change the style unless you want to. The mod integrates alongside normal forum functions with the suggestion that you limit some of the posting options in product areas to keep things streamlined.

Ahh ok. When I looked at your site I didn't see any forums and I assumed it just over took it all.

Thank you for the prompt response!

We don't offer a demo so wherever you looked is someone's particular customizations and settings...

It was giftery.me.... Thanks again

We make the mod but that site doesn't run vB in any shape or size.... Sorry for the confusion.

Does anyone that has installed this care to share their URL? I may be interested in using this, but I will need to see a demo first.
