Just to be clear the 'custom theme' i created in :

www\components\com_jreviews\jreviews\views\themes\{mytheme}

now needs to go in :

www\jreviews_overrides\views\themes\{mytheme}

Just to be 100% clear please

just a question: why not use the joomla standard for override (that is /template/mytheme/html/com_jreview...) ?

[Alejandro]

@bigdutch, that is correct. Just try it because  you won't break anything

@sebkun: 1) jReviews is developed using a its own framework, so Joomla standards were thrown out the door from the start. 2) This isn't a simple theme override, this is a complete override capability which allows you to override ANY file. I think it's better to keep all modified files, theme and php in the same place.

[sebkun]

okay ! understood ! Thanks for the quick answer (some should learn... )

[Alejandro]

This is a great release with lots of bug fixes, JomSocial integration and plugins, Joomfish v2 support -beta status- and a new overrides capability which makes it easier and safer to customize jReviews. To download this new version head over to the client area and view the downloads under your license details.

Alejandro,
finnally it'đ done:)great...thanks for it.
I would like to ask you regarding jreviews_overrides..How can I add to jreviews a new plugins?
For example Sitemap addon ( look on the http://www.aptinnovate.com/?p=12 ).
Because I tried to do copy this plugin to the "plugins" folder in the jreviews_overrides and I was also added a url on the file  " views\helpers\routes.php ",but this doesn't work,it showed me error 404?

Regards
J.Halena

Plugins are not implemented in the jReviews framework because it is not exactly cakePHP, only a derivation of it. There's no way you will be able to get anything like that to work with jReviews, because jReviews doesn't use regular urls, instead it uses urls that need to go through Joomla.

You can use other tools like this http://www.inspyder.com/products/SitemapCreator/ or search for others.
