Major Additions - [DBTech] DragonByte Reviews v1 (vB4)

DragonByte Reviews is an advanced review system that allows you to get your users interacting with your forums on a new level

Uses

With a wide range of permissions, you can allow your users to create/rate reviews, and customize it to your liking. You can also setup separate instances of the review system with different rating questions, custom fields and a review front page look.

You can even tie the review system into any product system with a little custom work.

Major Features

Multiple Instances: You can run an unlimited number instances of the review system on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it with the help of the customizable display blocks, custom fields and custom rating questions.

AJAX integration: We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads, including adding/viewing comments and rating reviews

Images in WYSIWYG editor: We added the vB WYSIWYG editor with the ability to add inline images into the review text so that you can create reviews that pop.

Front End and ACP Approval: Review approval and editing can be done quickly through either the front end by moderators or in the ACP by adminstrators.

Unfortunately that's not possible at our end, it would have to be specifically programmed.

Sorry

Thanks Fillip, No worries. I really did not expect it anyways. I actually like the way you set it up.

Thanks for the reply bro

I've installed this and after i added categories when i click on the category link in the reviews page I get this error:

Fatal error: Call to undefined method DBTECH_REVIEW_EXTENSION::fetch_navbits() in /home/xxxxxxxxxxx/public_html/dbtech/review/actions/main.php on line 42

The code there is:

}

if ($catid)
{
	DBTECH_REVIEW::$extension->fetch_navbits($catid, 'category', $show['ri']);
}

if ($page > 1)
{
	$offset = $perpage * ($page - 1);

I have some custom coding in the navbar_link template. Its:

<vb:if condition="$show['breadcrumb']">
	<li class="navbit">&raquo; <a href="{vb:raw nav_url}">{vb:raw nav_title}</a></li>
<vb:else />
	<li class="navbit lastnavbit"><span>{vb:raw nav_title}</span></li>
</vb:if>

Any help would be great, thanks.

Sorry I've had to uninstall this apparently just is not going to work on my site.

Does any one know how (where) to edit the button link for the Facebook social networking in this mod? The button link is incorrect and only sends to FB the main url of the site. I have the correct code and I am sure others will be interested as well.

http://facebook.com/share.php?u={URL}&title={TITLE}

I just can't find where to fix it.

Thank you

I've just checked it out on your site and it gives blank pages in the mobile skin, any chance you can fix that as mobile skins are a must now.

I have Reviews on my site. When in desktop view on my Android (Galaxy S5) I can see and add reviews perfectly just like on my pc. Maybe you have something set incorrectly?
