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.

Is the editor enabled for your site? For replies? It will pick up the global setting.

Yes it is.

Hey I am currently using the 1.3.1. What is the difference between the current version and my version?

Does this new upgrade allow customizations of the fields?

Minor releases are essentially bugs and small features. Check the change log for full details or look back for the thread as a post is made with each update.

What has to be done to change the fields? If I would like to add to the current fields?

Like the first pic you shared: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...8&d=1342151549

The fields shown are not like the ones in the mod.

Those custom fields have been an option since 1.3 beta 1 came out and are controlled through your ACP.

Really? I don't seem to have that option. I deleted the whole mod and installed this just to be safe and make sure there are no problems or anything. I checked giftery website and reread everything and didn't see anything about customized fields. I also played around with it in ACP and couldn't find it either. Seems the same as before to me.

How do I change the fields?

Thanks!

In your ACP go to the Product Review forums nav group and you'll see the Custom Rating Fields option.

This is controlled by the upload/includes/xml files packaged with the mod.

OH...

Sorry that was not what I meant, now that I am looking at the picture, that is for commenting.

Is there a way to make custom fields for post products? That is what I would love, Thanks!

There is not a GUI to do that but it is certainly something you can do if you extend the addon.
