Very politely said given the context :D

Reviews are written through product listings and always by the user. In fact if you looked at the mod you'd see that there's no way for an admin to write one without going into the user interface themselves... The admin only lets you make products.

A join brings two tables together... For example for your needs:

SELECT <all the existing fields>,user.userid,user.username
FROM " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pf_product.createdby = user.userid
JOIN user ON pf_product

You'd work this into the query in the hook showthread_post_start

If you have a closed area of your forum for products play around with the code. While I understand it's not simple templates the best way to take control is by tweaking which leads to learning.

The description of the added product text fields are not showing nor are the image urls,social media urls etc. Please advise

You need to edit your forum "The Good, Bad and Ugly Reviews" in the admin panel and check the option 'Enable Product Review Forum Features?' and save.

I have installed to test on my local PC. Getting error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected $end in C:\xampp\htdocs\mysite\forum\admincp\productforums .php on line 1397

Any help is welcome!

I really appreciate how much help you are being but this still doesn't make any sense to me at all, I have absolutely no idea how I would work a query into that hook. :erm:

I think it would be best for me to just accept the mod the way it works as is, I am finding myself feeling real stupid here and it's not going my self confidence any good at all. :)

Thanks for being so patient with me, this is a truly fantastic mod and you are a very good person for providing such a great mod and for being so helpful. :up:

Regards, Kirk. :)

Have you edited the admincp/productforums.php file, if not the file may have been corrupted during download, try re-downloading and replace that file with the new one.

Fair enough... If you change your mind, w3schools has some great basic mysql tutorials.

Will do Kirk! I did this, though:

Open: forumdisplay.php in a text editor

Find:

$templater = vB_Template::create('threadbit');

Replace with:

if($foruminfo['productforumsbits']){
$thread['pf_rating'] = vb_number_format($thread['pf_rating'],1);
$templater = vB_Template::create('prodforums_threadbit');
} else {
$templater = vB_Template::create('threadbit');
}

No luck yet Kirk. Same error. It's a fresh VB 4.2 install, no other mods, just been skinning the template.
