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.

Even after changing that, I get the following (See attachment):

Give the attached version of admincp/productforums.php a try... it should throw out an error when you go to create a product which we can use to debug the issue.

In productforums.php the price isnt display. like your example: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...7&d=1327272084

Finally after 1 hour, i found the mistake.. your addon is not compatible with that one: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthrea...ght=breadcrumb

I would love, if you could fix that.

I'm not sure why you'd use the word mistake. Mods write code to make their mod work... neither code is intended to impact the other... But given the open nature of addons it's not always possible to avoid collisions.

Our mods are always designed to let others integrate but when it comes to stepping on the same code bits, it's not always something we can avoid... there's just no way to try a mod against every other possible install.

As always, we have to measure the total requests vs one instance and see what makes sense to do.

Sorry, my english is bad.

I dont think that i am the only one which is using this hack? Is there no simple way to avoid this?

Isn?t it possible to comment the hack out for this site of your addon?

It depends on how it overlaps. Mostly it's pretty simple, sometimes it's not so easy but neither our team nor the other mod's author can reasonably go through every addon out there to find and remove conflicts. That's the downside of an open network.

Instead we try to find bugs that may cause issues with addons overall and kill those as well as build integration points so other mods can take data out or access our functions to extend into the mod.

Could you please have a look? The hack isnt that big

There is nothing in that mod that alters how the Product Forums overview page looks on the default vBulletin style... not even by a pixel. However the mod does add <div> tags around each link which, depending on your site's styles may change how the page renders.

You will need to debug what attributes from your style are altering the page layout. It may be as simple as needed to clear the area under your navbar template or you may discover that your styles are conflicting by assigning other elements to our page.

While we will of course fix any open issue that effects sites at large, we can not diagnose individual site customizations, styles or mods.

Great but I receive allways the same error:

"Oh great, you had to go and press THAT button. There goes the whole site. Just kidding... We had an issue posting your review, please try again or contact support and use code 164250-E"

My settings:

I tried to use different configurations without success.

I would like to use this hack....

Thanks.
