As I understand it, 1 and 2 are the same question. jReviews allows you to add product attributes or specifications (i.e. price, brand, size, etc.) and you can then search on those specific attributes either through click2search functionality which makes the attributes clickable or through the use of the fields module which is the one you see on the left column on the site.

The documentation and video tutorial links on the left explain how to setup the custom fields. Afterwards you can use the fields module and range module (for prices for example) to allow the user to quickly find products having those attributes. You can also use the advanced search module shown at the top of the page on product pages on the demo site to allow users to filter results.

Sure, get a new trial for the live server. There's information on the Knowledgebase on going from the trial to the full version. You will not lose any of your settings or data. You can buy the addons any time you want, not necessarily when you purchase jReviews.

This isn't possible. You are trying to create another level that is not there. You need to assign the product attributes/specs to the rating criteria in the criteria manager, which you then assign to a category, be it restaurants, hotels, electronics, etc. This has to be the lowest level category. It's not done per article.

If I understood the question correctly then the answer is yes (it's better if you ask with examples included).

Everything is connected/configured at the category level because the premise is that everything within a category shares the same attributes and thus will be rated in the same way. Having uncategorized entries within a suburb is not possible. You need to have restaurants, hotels, etc. within a suburb to put each entry where it belongs. Each of those categories can then have different attributes and rating criteria.

I have already explained that this is not possible. Attributes and criterias are assigned to categories, not articles. The articles inherit it from the category the belong to.

Yes, that's how you would have to do it. You create a hotel criteria, restaurant criteria and so on and assign it to the corresponding categories. When doing a search you will have a dropdown list with the criteria (i.e. Restaurants) and once chosen you will be able to select the suburbs if you want to narrow it down. You need to start testing it to see how it works.

Im trying it out on my localhost trial. I have done as per prev post.

SuburbA>Restaurants    and
SuburbB>Restaurants

Everything is working fine. However the advance module have drop down list of 2 Restaurants as there are two categories called Restaurants - one for SuburbA and one for SuburbB.

Please help.

And Im still tring to figure out the use of Directory of Jreview in my case...

Thank you so much for ur patience.
