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.

Would you be able to figure out how to pull the data feed (reviews, etc) from this store?

Thank you.

PS: the "buy this product" link doesn't show up at all, even though I set a link to a book when testing this out

Hi Ted,

Honestly I do not know. I'm not technical per se, nor have I gotten a response from them yet about it.

Without a feed you'd have to manually enter the products or find a way to scrape (essentially automate the copying of) products from their site.

Does anybody know how to setup an Amazon affiliate xml file with this modification? I'm trying to find a way to add a lot of products without having to manually do this. Can anybody help me with this or give me some suggestions please.
Thanks!

Do you have access to Amazon's datafeed program? If so, you'll have to have someone adjust the parser as the structure is different [and more extensive] plus there are particular rules around using images, storing elements, etc. Also given the amount of data you'll really want to move the parser off of the web and into some sort of a shell script if you plan to bring in large numbers of items.

Couple of problems:

Disabling postbit stats does nothing, they fields remain in postbit legacy.

Secondly, please see attached.

the text is not aligned marginally, vertically compared to rest. How can I fix this?

Third: last row missing white background, which is a conflict caused with thank you hack

Thanks.

Try the attached version please.

The only thing I see off alignment is the number of thanks which is not related to this mod?

Same as question #2... I see a white background in your screenshot but it's many elements lower. How are you determining that this is the source of the problem?

Is the product advertising API the same as Amazons data feed program? I thought there would be an easier way to get a few products (200 and less) from Amazon and put them in xml file.

Could you also help me with this error: The administrator of this site must disable the vBulletin option "Add Template Name in HTML Comments", a debugging feature, to use this mod. Unless of course they want debugging comments in the reviews.

I'm still a little confused on this...

I thought I had the correct options enabled but obviously I'm missing something here. My thread are showing in the right review forum section but people can't review the items and get the error stated above.

What am I missing here?

UPDATE - FIXED THE ISSUE :-) JUST HAD A BRAIN FART... NOW I'M GETTING This feature is not configured yet. Please check back soon.
