An API allows you to request products on demand, it does not give you information on them until you do so meaning that you'd still have to save the data yourself, compile it, then import it.

With 200 products you can however use the existing import script.

Could you also help me with this error: The administrator of this site must disable the vBulletin option "Add Template Name in HTML Comments", a debugging feature, to use this mod. Unless of course they want debugging comments in the reviews.
It's an admin setting that helps sites debug their templates by adding comment tags. However since this mod hides a post it causes a conflict and needs to be turned off... if you didn't know what it was, you aren't using it.

Ted is there a way to alter how these look in the forum view? I.e the title, no of reviews and the overal rating?

I'm having trouble posting reviews. It says I don't meet the minimum word count, put what I'm trying to post is a lot more than 50 words.

It's not letting me submit a review because of the above...?

On the new activity stream, it shows the content of the post as "this is an empty post" but if you click on the link in the activity stream it takes you through to the product where there is a description etc.

Already on the possibility list [these wont all get done]:

- Site-defined ranking types [i.e. service, quality, price]
- Image uploads for thumbnails & processing
- Activity feed interactions
- Sidebar widget

Iam loving these suggestions and really look forward to them getting implemented!

You've made 5 posts back to back. I'd ask that you repost whatever issues you are now having into one so I'm not answering what you already figured out or further broke.

The mod makes blank posts, it's only in viewing the thread that other review information is called in. Our hope is to exclude those posts from the feed all together but that's a few weeks away.

I have a question, how would users submit reviews? Do they submit only reviews but not ability to submit products themselves? In other words, only admin can add new products?

I set my dedicated forum to enable the "Enable Product Review Forum Features?" option. It works, but when submitting a "new thread" in that forum, I see the regular looking editor and nothing related to product reviews. Is this normal?

I just got a copy of the xml feed from Christian Book Group, 408Mb in size. How can I import this, since its such a large file?

Also, I asked the dev about the proper format and he replied with

Quote:

Okay, we understand now. The feed we gave you access to is the only version of the complete product feed that we have. It definitely won’t match your format exactly, however this is some of the information that we provide in the feed for each product:

Vendor Code
Title
Author
Price
Availability
Description (in HTML format)
Category
Manufacturer
CBD SKU
URL
Image Path
Retail Price
