jReviews Support Forum

Hello,

I never heard of ioncube before I read about jReviews. I have a few questions:

The demo version says it must be installed. I assume this is also true for the full licensed version?

I have installation instructions from my host. I currently run a heavily trafficked site. I back the sql db and any replaced files before installing something like this, but I'm always cautious of the risk factor.... so what is the risk factor with installing ioncube and jReviews on my site? Can it get permanently damaged by replacing the php.ini file as is required for ioncube?

What does the trial download section mean :"because otherwise your frontend will stop working."??  This sounds kind of serious to me. Why does it make the frontend stop working? If I install ioncube wrong, what happens? Is it recoverable if I uninstall the Jreviews component?

Please excuse all my questions and ignorance about ioncube - just being vigilant.

That's right.

No, just add the new line to load the loaders. Request help from your host if you don't feel comfortable doing this.

This only applies to the trial version, which I don't recommend anyone install on their production sites and it can happen because all the trial php files are encoded, including frontend files. Since jReviews runs as a mambot, most of your site pages could be affected if ionCube is not loaded properly. The bottom line is don't attempt to install this on your production site for the trial. Install elsewhere and make sure everything works.

In phpinfo you can check if ionCube loaders are active.

Hello!

I tryed to install ionCube on my site, but it failed every time. Unfortunately my provider uses Zend and I am not able to edit php.ini. I would like to test your component, but I am nearly sure that JReviews is exactly what I am looking for. If the full licenced version (that I would buy in this minute) needs also ionCube, that makes me disappointed. So, are there any other possibilities to get this extension work?

Kind regards,
Camee

jReviews comes both in ionCube and Zend encoded versions. The trial includes both versions as well. The licensed version also requires either of these in order to work.

Oh, ok. Now I am happy again.  ;D I had to install ZendOptimizer on my site, but now it seems to work. What an exhausting job *sweat*

"See" you soon!
