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.

If I click at "be the first to write a review" get following db error:

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.5:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT pf.threadid,pf.title,pf.reviews,pf.rating,pf.price ,pf.short_desc,pf.mfrg,pf.upc,pf.sku,thread.forumi d
FROM vb3_pf_product as pf
JOIN vb3_thread ON pf.threadid = thread.threadid
WHERE productid = '1' AND active = 1;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'thread.forumid' in 'field list'
Error Number : 1054

Also the tools menu is below the product listing and the manufacturer is not visible.
The above error is only if I have in the acp "Create New Thread on Review" set to no.
If it is set to yes I get the message "This feature is not configured yet. Please check back soon." if trying to write a review.
And if I add a forum ID in the acp setting "Review Thread Forum ID" get above db error again.
There are also db errors when clicking at "Manage" in "Manage Product Reviews Forums" (value 0)

Database error in vBulletin 4.1.5:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT COUNT(productid) AS count
FROM vb3_pf_product
WHERE pf_product.productid <> 0;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'pf_product.productid' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054

Installed - looks promising but I'm wondering how I could adapt this for restaurant reviews?
I'm also get a code error when posting a review but failed to capture an image in time. I'll post it soon if I can grab it quickly enough.
