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.

Still getting the "this is an empty post" problem.

I have enabled the PF feature in that forum. Its is a forum not category.

I am using VB 4.1.7 and PF 1.2.2

So it's not an issue with the thread but rather the forumdisplay.

I don't recall the threads getting auto previews by default. Is this via a mod or setting?

Yes of course, but you know, i dont have this WYSIWYG Editor.. so how can i make the newest version running on my site? The only solution for me at the moment is, to take the oldest version of your addon...

I don't understand what you mean by thread getting auto previews.

In your forum display it's showing the first words of the first post... Is this from a mod or a setting?

Upgrade your forum to a stable version or you'll just have to get use to hacking mods to make them work.

1. Issues with categories not deleting / not having names.

I have VB 4.1.10

When I try to create a category I get this briefly at the top of the page:

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/run/mysqld/mysqld.sock' (2) in [path]/admincp/productforums.php on line 973

Warning: mysql_real_escape_string() [function.mysql-real-escape-string]: A link to the server could not be established in [path]/admincp/productforums.php on line 973

Then it refreshes and I have a blank category.

Then if I try to delete the blank category it says "Category ID not specified"

Just installed it, thanks, I love it!

[fungku]

The error when I create a category is generated from here, at SET title:

PHP Code:

    // update the review
    $db->query_write("
        INSERT INTO " . TABLE_PREFIX . "pf_category
        SET title = '". mysql_real_escape_string($vbulletin->GPC['title']) ."', active = '". $vbulletin->GPC['active'] ."'
    "); 


It is not setting the title but why, oh why?

Ok... ran the queries you wanted...
