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.

Your template manager. Just search it out and change as desired...

The buttons use to be individually selectable but vBulletin option pages are just too confusing to have 4 more fields in it.

Ok thank you. Another problem: The site doesnt appear correctly on my mobile phone (android). Can someone test if its my theme?

What mod or feature is pulling that in?



Assuming the mod grows in installs we'll be writing an image uploader to resize the photos and do a thumbnail / medium / large version.

Whoa, does this mean we're going to be using the WYSIWYG editor to add our content? Not the box that is current?

Eventually, yes. Of course you'll still be able to post HTML if you prefer.

You'll need to be more specific than that for me to offer much help.

Is it possible to change the date text to german? for example at productforums.php?do=matches&productid=5

[Killhunter]

And it would really great if the users could tag a product which they have and in their profiles you can see which they have. for example with pictures

All text is contained in phrases and can be changed through the phrase manager.

And how to change it? The date isnt really a text.
