There's a link to add a product on the product forums overview page (/productforums.php) which will be activated when a user is able to add products (it's both a usergroup setting and overall option).

You can add this link to other forums / navigation areas as you see fit.

You've got two issues here: the structure and the size. Since the structure is different you can't use the import script in it's current format and will need to adjust it to map to the file you've been given, or import the file into something like access and export with the right field names. It's a close fit, no red flags on the data.

More importantly however you can't process a 408 mb XML file through the browser and will need to have the import script turned into a server-side routine to run via shell command against the file uploaded through FTP.

I'm confused, I set the "New Product Forum ID" and the link is http://www.talkjesus.com/product-reviews/

How come its not redirecting me to that php page? Even the navbit breadcrumbin the mod itself is taking me to http://www.talkjesus.com/product-reviews/

Also, I left a review and all I got was this page with no content?
http://www.talkjesus.com/productforu...es&productid=2

Product page still says not yet rated when I left it a 5 star rating. It also put my post in moderation first?

Thanks for your help

You've got all sorts of different things going on here...

1 - Using a url modifier script will change how mods work. This script is /productforums.php but you may have to exclude that, filter it, edit some ruleset for it to work. vBSEO and the like will not recognize this mod just because you install it.

2 - If the product says no reviews you've set admin moderation in the mod settings.

3 - If the post is in moderation check your forum settings. The mod overrides basic controls but can't stop a full blown locked forum from locking

4 - Blank pages spell errors. Check your server log for a hint of what happened -- if there's no review in the backend {admin} then you know why it won't show up in the frontend {user side}.

Ted,

Do you think if I renamed the fields from that file to match your format (after reducing it to about 50MB worth of products) it will work?

50mb of text is still thousands of products, likely tens of thousands. You can try it but you'll likely time the browser out on the upload alone.

Hi Ted,

Fantastic mod! I only have two issues at the moment, and I'm sure they are both from something I am doing wrong. It's basically a vanilla installation with the only change I made being changing the name of "productforums.php" to a different name.

1. The product list page isn't showing the price. It is on the product pages in the admin, however.

2. The detail page that loads (when you click to view more info) doesn't have any of the product details; it's just a post with a title.

Thanks for your help!

Are you talking about productforums.php or a product thread page? Does the value show as blank or just no price line at all?

Did you enable the mod in the forum you are adding products too?

Hi Ted,

I did forget to enable the mod on the forum I had setup for it, which solved the 2nd question. In regards to the price on productforums.php - it doesn't display anything. If I inspect the element there's nothing in it at all.

Please post up a link.
