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.

Strange. Well here's the version you had used minus the debug outputs.

Great that works fine, thank you!. However I have just noticed that if I delete a review from the admin, it doesn't delete it off the forum?

Also how do I get the images to show on the forum display -

Does the thread still work or just show up in the list?

Also how do I get the images to show on the forum display

There's no special icons for reviews...?

[deverill2010]

I'm not quite sure what you mean?

The thread still shows up as a product?

Regarding the images, you have this photo attached here - https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/attachmen...1&d=1342151619

How do I do it? No there currently isn't any image showing like this for some reason as Ive shown in my picture.

Open up the install guide and you'll find instructions to this which require a manual code hack. But note, this change impacts product listings... not review threads.

Last thing I cn think off then this is as perfect for me. On this page - http://www.midwiferyonline.co.uk/productforums.php the table columns are not aligned properly and I can't figure out how to fix it with CSS.

You're missing a column header for category. Revert the template or add it back in.

Thanks ted I really appreciate all your help, it is looking great and deffo the best out the there by far!

With adding custom raiting fields, is there any way to make them required? As I need to do this.

I get the same error message too.. It is because it is only trying to insert
<br> which is 4 char long.

I set the min post length to 0 then it only seems to be posting <br> as the review . Disabled it for now
