Great MOD this, I love it already !

Managed to alter the phrases to my liking, and edited out the fields I didn't think were right for a footie forum.

If I could I would give this 20 stars.

Hello,

What's the most popular audio extentions that can be upload in a website?
eg mp3, mp4 or what?? Please give me only such file type where their filesize will not be so big to timeout the upload procedure.

Reviews 1.1.0 has released with a new feature and one bug fix:
  1. New feature: Someone of you (sorry as I don't remember his name) asked if its possible to upload audio files. Then I thought that maybe some users maybe will want to use it for reviewing Music. That's why I added an extra setting (default is OFF), which (if you turn it ON) will shows in posting review page a field for uploading a .mp3 audio file. I also included a simple audio player in view review page. At least, I like it, as I don't know a lot about such things. A demo review with audio player is at: http://www.christeris.net/dev42/review/4/my-number-one.html
  2. Bug fix: Strange that nobody reported it, but I fount that "My Reviews" list was showing only the last review. In anycase now is fixed.
To upgared:
  1. Download Reviews_1_1_0.zip
  2. Upload all files at your server overwriting the old ones
  3. CMOD 777 a new directory at: christeris/reviews/audio
  4. Import product-reviews.xml (don't forget to check overwrite).
  5. If you want to activate audio uploads goto Reviews General Settings and turn it on. Audio types setting is currently just for refference. Upload works with mp3 and mp4 (really don't know if mp4 is audio file).

Oh.. Finally a review mod that might make my life easier! And here I've been creating a a semi usable one using the Easy Forms Mod.. Giving this a run on my test then probably to my live site! WOOT!

*EDIT* Looks good.. However.. One thing that wish would be added is since the Author first reviewing sets up questions to be reviewed, why can't those that are rating this also answer those to get a true reading?

Like I'm doing a site for Bars to be reviewed. I have Ambiance, Food, Service and Value. I put in my author rating for those but when someone comes to the site they only get one "overall" rating. Anyway to have them also rate all of them like the author does?

*2ND EDIT* Adding this to my site as we speak any chance of possibly getting a spot for people to add more photos too? I know the author can do it by putting photos in the edit box but if there was like a box set off to the side or something to add extra photos would be great..

Awesome work

As I said, I decided to my new mod series to have simplicity as first rule. What you asked for, it was something that already existed in my (unfinished) Reviews mod and I remove it. Have seen many review sites and I believe that this is the right direction. The author rates many things, but users are giving an overall rating. This gives:
1.- More value to main review
2.- Unless if all your members are guru, is much easier for the average user to rate for overall. Don't forget that one of the points that Facebook became so popular is simplicity: Like / Dislike (even if it does not has such button). This is what the user will say: "This product is excellent".... or "This product is just acceptable".

As of me (and this is just my opinion and how I act in real life, especially for bar), what I've to say it "I'll go again"...or ..."I'll never come back".... Because there is always a chance to say "Food: Terrible ... Service: Terrible... Prices: The highest on the city"... This will gives an overall rating of 2 which means "I'll never come back". But because I liked the barwoman I'll be there on daily basis :D. In a short.... Lots of questions never bring up the right rating....

Yes, this is possible in an upcoming upgrade.

Fair points.. Makes sense.. And they can add their positives and negatives at the bottom so in theory that'll work.

I only thought it might be wise to have them also use those questions as I'm no guru on bars and people's likes and dislikes are all different. But I am the owner of the site so the people can either like what I say or don't. Works for me lol I wanted something local for people to come to and see instead of the big name sites that do it for every city and don't really give a true meaning to a place.

Thanks for giving me a different perspective on the rating.. I'll be using this and can't wait for the upgrade of things to come!

Thanks very much excellent release..Maybe a dumb question? But how would you go about changing the rss feed to an xml..reviews.php?do=feeds..Just wanted to bring the feed back to cms..
