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.

Also, does this happen with products created via the admin as well [you mentioned moderation so I assume this item was added as "user"]?

Oh great, you had to go and press THAT button. There goes the whole site. Just kidding...

We had an issue posting your review because of Array. Try again or report this to our team and incldue code 164251-B.


I still get this error. no more details showed up. this is a user added product with another user trying to add a review

don't think it matters but my admincp isnt admincp anymore. it was the first thing I changed for security reasons.
would you like to take a look at my setup to see if I missed a step on the install/upgrade? I can PM details.

Strange, the debug message is a different phrase. Let's try it with this script ---

Also, is your Review Thread Forum set for new posts?

[imported_dfmafia]

yes, it is set for new posts.

----EDIT----

uploaded and still no joy. same error message when I submit a review

Silly question but are you using the admin version in the admin folder?

If so, what does your error_log say? White screens tend to mean a script or include error that may be related to your specific server or php settings.

Here it is again... There's no mention of "164251-B" in this script so if you get the same error, we know where to start.

Note: got your PM, but we need to solve this first as it's not something I can change via your admin.

Note: this is for /forums/productforums.php

It's the big link on the edit product page... you must have an item created first.

In our beta 2 release we spell this out on the add product page as well.

Alternatively you can keep using image links and then run the bulk importer [also in beta 2] which will move them over for you.

So sorry, you can either change line 498 to print_r($errors) or use this version. Ill also drop you a PM with our support email to make this easier if you like.

Note: Once again this is /forums/productforums.php
