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.

I tried to upload a picture to a product by clicking "upload a new product photo?," but I get the following message:

You must provide an image in your settings to upload images.

It seems like this should be easy to figure out, but for some reason I can't! How do I fix this?

Did you configure all of the options for the image processing part of the addon?

I too get the blank profile pages on 4.2.1 after installing this mod. Removal does not correct the error. Only way to correct it is to manually edit the database and remove any posts to the activity stream related to this mod.

I followed everything exactly as per your instructions. Will tag to see if it ever gets corrected.

Did you happen to see what database error was causing the blank page?

I did not offhand, but it did give me this PHP error - Fatal error: Class 'vB_ActivityStream_View_Perm__' not found in ..... view.php on line 589

Hrm...

The activity system wasn't built with a way to cleanly add new options so I'll chalk this up as a bad try at an interesting idea.

Here's 1.3.9 without any of the activity stream bits best I can tell. Let me know if you decide to give it a try.

[Lightly_Toasted]

Installed, testing to see if the problem repeats itself.

Thanks Ted

After installing and testing that seems to have solved the issue for 4.2.1. After adding test products, have confirmed that there are no blank pages yet and information is still aggregated into the activity feed.

Thanks again
