Major Additions - Product Review Forums ? Research, Review & Compare Items

Version 1.4.0 has been released to remove the giftery / list it integration of the addon now that service has been discontinued. No upgrade is needed though there have been a few other bug changes since 1.3.5.

Finding Feedback Can be Like a Needle in a Haystack

The more your forum grows, the more of a challenge it becomes to sort through the history and get the full story.

Product Review Forums Brings Structure to the Chaos

As a full-featured product management addon, PRF sits on top of your forum allowing you to create defined products which, unlike individual posts, stay relevant over time. Each comment, review and even product updates filter back into this one spot allowing for a quick and comprehensive overview while the individual discussions rage on as always.

Here's just a few of the many features you'll find in PRF:

• Bring structure to products with established pages & reviews
• Reduce the number of repetitive posts from members looking up the same info
• Increase your traffic with content-rich, seo friendly, product listings
• Drive revenue by adding your own affiliate links to product listings
• Increase the activity stream's value with review integration
  
• Engage visitors with integrated wishlists from Giftery.me

===========================

Installation is not upload & go... individualized settings are required. Read the install file.

QUICK TIPS:
===========================

Enabling Product Forums: To show product details and ratings, each product-forum must be enabled in the forum manager.

Adding Products: You may upload products one at a time through the admin [includes an image uploader using GD] or you can bulk import through XML. You can also enable users to add moderated products through a global and usergroup option.

Product Review Index: To access your forum's product overview go to www.yoursite.com/productforums.php - You may want to add a link to this to your navbar or as a tab.

Customization: This addon is made to be customized. To change the color schema see clientscript/vbulletin_css or dive right on in to the templates and phrases.

Powered by Giftery.me: This mod is maintained includes two integrations you should know about. Both can be controlled through the mod options.

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
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

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.

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:

PHP Code:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/includes/functions_editor.php(467) : eval()'d code on line 89 


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

[qpurser]

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
