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.

Well that is good news, I am very pleased for you and you are welcome, now get on and enjoy the mod, it is one of the best here.

For others having this problem, was it the alteration to the file that worked?

The issue must be surely a JavaScript issue or the mod not detecting any data send in the field. It must be a very small and easy to fix bug. My guess its not counting characters correctly and it assumes always the length is not correct.

Yes, waiting for versions is fine, if you have a temporary fix which I don?t. Im even more curious now because the other poster that said had the same issue like me fixed it by uninstalling and re-installing the mod. Something I can?t try because I have products already added and would lose them.
I'll indulge your curoisyt then...

From what we've figured out you're correct, there's something up with the script count and the comments being passed to the right field name.

The solution is to accept the message element directly:

Code:
$backupmessage = $vbulletin->GPC['message'];
and then check if we need to use it later in the script
Code:
if(!$comments AND $backupmessage){ $comments = strip_tags($backupmessage,'<b><br><br /><strong><em><i><u><ul><ol><li><p><font>'); }
[we all filter out all but basic html here, just in case].

Oddly the formatting seems to be the same even if the backup is used indicating that the editor still runs to a certain point.

Woot! Adding a static CSS file was much easier for us too.

Gah... We'll add this change to 1.3.0 but why short_tags is even an option is beyond me.

Ted a wee customisation.. Is there anyway to make new reviews post with a prefix? I have a prefix set in the reviews forum but I'm manually having to edit the thread of each review and assign a prefix. I only have one prefix enabled so is there anyway when a review is created, to make it use the prefix?
Um, uh. Yes. But I'm not sure how... we'll have to dig into how prefixes are assigned and see about emulating them in. Maybe after 1.3.0

I must say I am having a lot of fun with this Mod. I am trying to customize the productforums.php page and would like to put an x-repeating image into the search bar. How do I edit this code to do that:

Code:
.pf_search .pf_sh {
	background-color:#7D3D46;
	padding:5px;
	font-size:12px;
	color:#ffffff;
}


And Kirk, yes it was the alteration of the file that worked.

Brilliant, that answered the question I was about to ask.

Hey Ted,
I made some yellow stars for use on my own site to replace the green stars as they didn't suit my skin, then noticed you are going to make other colours available. You are welcome to make use of these if they are any good to you.
