Major Additions - [DBTech] DragonByte Reviews v1 (vB4)

DragonByte Reviews is an advanced review system that allows you to get your users interacting with your forums on a new level

Uses

With a wide range of permissions, you can allow your users to create/rate reviews, and customize it to your liking. You can also setup separate instances of the review system with different rating questions, custom fields and a review front page look.

You can even tie the review system into any product system with a little custom work.

Major Features

Multiple Instances: You can run an unlimited number instances of the review system on the same forum with same set of files! Each instance can have a different look and feel to it with the help of the customizable display blocks, custom fields and custom rating questions.

AJAX integration: We used AJAX wherever we could to help reduce the page reloads, including adding/viewing comments and rating reviews

Images in WYSIWYG editor: We added the vB WYSIWYG editor with the ability to add inline images into the review text so that you can create reviews that pop.

Front End and ACP Approval: Review approval and editing can be done quickly through either the front end by moderators or in the ACP by adminstrators.

I have installed this on my test site and think it is great! Before adding it to my live site, I was wondering if I could do the following:

Remove or disable where you add primary images
Remove or disable where you add images and Youtube links
Remove or disable "Pro List" and "con List"
Remove or disable "Review Summary"
Change "Title" to "Restaurant Name"
Add more than one "select field" custom field

[rwurbanwildlife]

I have many review categories, one custom field is lets say "odometer reading" fieldid: 3 but I have a category called "DVD players"

Obviously I do not want the custom field "odometer" to show up in "DVD player" categoryid: 5 but want it to only show up in "automobiles" categoryid: 7

nevermind figured it out

Is it possible to integrate the Review System into the vBulletin Activity Stream - or alternatively into DBTech Live Stream?

Thanks

There is an optional integration script for our LiveWall modification in the "do not upload" folder, though I'm not entirely sure if that's Pro-only or not as I was not the original developer.

Fantastic Mod' I have it running on localhost where I am testing the functionality before installing on my forum, some thing I was wondering,

Is there a way to have a filter results letter list for easier searching of Reviews, like the letters (# through to Z) bar seen in the Memberlist here: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/memberlist.php

Nominated for MOTM.


*edit*

Sorry to be a nuisance chap, I have noticed whilst testing this out on local host that comments on reviews are being ordered oddly, the newest comment is listed first, is there a way of changing this so the newest comment is last, many thanks for this excellent Mod' and your much appreciated support.
