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.
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.
Ted, thanks for your support, so far it works nice.
Only a few things.
This fields are not showing:
- Manufacturer
- short description
- and the new added Location field
If rating is 4 stars it's showing 4 1/2 stars.
What's the point of the links "Read all 1 reviews" and "View all reviews on x"?
A first suggestion, it would be nice to have the options now in settings - options - Product Reviews Forum Settings moved to the other options in the left side.
The description in the Product Reviews Forum Settings are some kind of confusing.
I wrote a review with my admin account plus a review with a mod account, the review of the mod account is only visible for the admin account but not for the mod account who wrote the review.
If clicking at "Read all two reviews" it's listed but not in the review thread itself.
But at all it's a cool start and has some great potential Ted, thanks again.

The short description shows in the optional forumdisplay hack.
Location and Manufacturer are added in 1.0.4

It should round to the nearest half. I'll take a look.

To let people go from one review back to more reviews. If you don't like the link, you can edit the template.

I can add a shortcut link, easy enough.

You'll have to be more specific...

Did you enable the moderation option? If so, you need to approve the review first [as an admin].
1.0.3 will not uninstall from product manager Installed Products?
I have removed all files from server but still can not uninstall product.
I would like to remove this so I can do a fresh install. How can I remove it?
You'll need to be more specific on your issue to be able to help you. The install / uninstall method is the proper path but if it failed part way through, things get more complex.
We do a numbre of bulk imports on our shopping site using XML. Would that work for an import for you?
I tend to use csv files, but I can export my product feed into xml so as long as I can figure out the specs that should be good. That will also let me pull a bunch of products on amazon.
