*just tried to submit and got a page error - so if this is a double post please delete*

I would like to know how to add additional icons to the listings.  The new.hot.featured are great but I need to add some others like gold member.silver etc.  These will be only for selected lisitngs.  Any help would be great.

Second I was wondering if you had any updates on adding descriptions to photos.  I saw and earlier post, but was hoping you might have some new info.  The problem is I am showing several different product in the photos and it would be great to put a model number, if not in the pop up than at least on the listing page.

Finally I have been having some trouble with the submit a new item.  For registered users it gives errors with email field and name (text) field as well as with security code.  As we are just building our database now I have just upgraded the users to full access and there are no problems with these fileds for now, but it will come later...

Thanks

This is what custom fields are for. For example, you could create a select field where you enter all you icon options and associated images. Make this field only accessible to administrator/superadmin so only you see it *this is in case you allow registered users to submit listings, otherwise it does not matter*. WHen you select a value from the list you will see the icon. You can also uncheck the contentview and listviews for the field and put the field tag directly in the templates like {JR_FIELD_IMG}.

Sorry, no updates and it's also not on the next version. I have prioritized the features I added, although I was not going to add anything in the first place. You can add a description to the first image if you create a text field for it and edit the list template you use (blogview/tableview or thumbview) and also the intro_image template for the product detail page. Just add the tag for the description field.

I have no problem with the custom fields and getting the icons to show in the content.  What I am having trouble with is adding them to the title.  I tried to do this with the titlebuttons template but can't seem to get {JR_FIELD_IMG} to load anything.  If I use the format like the other buttons (link to image file) than I can only show the icon on all titles or hide on all titles, but I want it to be selectable.  There must be something very simple that I am missing, but after a few hours I can't come up with a solution.

You can only do this on the lists generated by jReviews (tableview,thumbview,blogview templates) and  if you use the blogjoomla.html template (instead of blogjoomla_simple.html) you can also show it in frontpage and Joomla blogcategory/blogsection pages. On these templates you can just put the field next to the title. You cannot put the field in the titlebuttons template because they are not processed there. In the content page you will not be able to show the icon in the title, so you have to show it on the content page itself. This is because jReviews does not process the title at all in content pages.
