Most, if not all, reported bugs and those I found on my own have been fixed. This version is suitable for production sites because all major changes to the beta have been made and upgrading to future versions shouldn't break functionality. Major changes included folder/file structure as well as changes to the theme files.
I am very happy to announce the release of CSV Import for Joomla and jReviews. The release of this new extension was made possible through the partnership between jReviews and NakedJoomla.com.
I have decided to release this new version very quickly because there were some new important bugs in 1.2.09. Please download the new version from the client area. The advanced search module also has some new improvements. It allows filtering by sections and has some css settings for sections and categories to make them easier to distinguish in the select list. Thanks Jan for bugging me and sponsoring this feature.
jReviews 1.2RC2 released - Custom fields in reviews
We are very happy to announce the release of 1.2RC2. This version brings us even closer to a stable version and in fact there were more features added in this version than bug fixes. A new licensing system is also in place and we will release a trial version of jReviews as soon as possible.
The most important new features are:
Custom fields in reviews.
Security image for new item and review submissions.
Click2search and click2add settings for custom fields.
More control over form fields: show/hide content/review form elements.
Finer grained access settings for all user actions(submits,editing,voting). It is now even possible to restrict access to all user actions and fields through custom defined groups added through 3rd party extensions like JACLPlus.
Added meta keywords and meta description to newitemform and corresponding group access settings.
Added separate list limit settings for item lists (items-list-tab) and user reviews (reviews-tab).
Added template/language folder setting so you can place the template and language files in a location outside the jreviews component and don't lose the changes during upgrades.
Added setting to limit the number of categories per section shown in the directory tree.
Added setting to hide empty categories in directory and category box in list views.
Added separate options to show/hide category box for section and category list.
Added frontend editing capability for content section/category for users with Joomla access group editor and upwards.
Although we try to make changes backwards compatible, to add some of these features it was necessary to change a few of the templates.Make sure to use the new templates or transfer the changes. If you get any sort of patTemplate warnings with your existing templates it means you have to make some changes to them.
Template changes
--- jReviews 1.2RC2 TEMPLATE CHANGES ----
!reviewform.html,newitemform.html: MANY CHANGES REQUIRE REPLACING THESE 2 FORMS. Mainly for review custom fields functionality, but also other improvements like section/category editing in the frontend.
!userreviewspage.html,authoreviewdetails.html,userviews.html: added user_title/author_title and user_comment/author_comment to be able to hide title and comment standard fields.
!jreviews.css: added new styles for reviews custom fields.
!titlebutton.html: changed image path to {TEMPLATE_SITE} so the path is not limited to the jreviews component folder.
!customfields.html: changed image path to {TEMPLATE_SITE} so the path is not limited to the jreviews component folder. Now the image path is relative to the spcified template path (i.e. /tmpl/default/) instead of the jreviews component folder (i.e. /components/com_jreviews/).
!advanced_searchform.html, search_ordering_controls.html: added spinner for visual progress indicator.
+{LANGUAGE} variable now available in most templates.
+{TITLE} variable now available in com_content.html.
