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.

I'm not sure why? The reviews will manually post as active unless you set them not too.

[Killhunter]

And now? Could you try it at one of your forums?

Why we have to activate the addon for each forum? I have one forum for each game, could you modify it for me, that i dont have to activate it for each? Would be really great...

Is possible upload the photo rather than enter the url?

Why wouldn't you? The mod is not something most forums would want to use in more than a handful of areas.

Like with all of our mods, the goal is to provide you a starting point to grow your site. If you want to make a critical change in the logic, by all means, make it.

Not at this time

I'm having a rather odd issue. I installed the mod with no trouble, but clicking any of the links in the admin panel for it gives me a HTTP Error 500 (Internal Server Error): An unexpected condition was encountered while the server was attempting to fulfill the request.

Any ideas?

Could we have the Product Image a link also using the purchase URL ?

Sure thing. It's an easy change and will make it into the next rev.

500 errors are pretty generic statements. Check your web server's log file for more info and we can solve things from there
