jReviews :: Customer support forum

I have set up three different reviews for Hotels, Restaurants and FBO's (Fixed Based Operators at airports) and integrated Google Maps, with directions bubble, right on the review pages for each type of review.  My site is:

www.pilotspeak.net

You will have to register to see them (It's free) and once logged in, you can click on the links for Hotels, Restaurants, FBO's to see the reviews and maps to see how they look and work.

Feel free to contact me via my website (Admin) if you have any questions or comments...or you can leave them here.

Many thanks to Alejandro who helped me a lot with the initial setup of things I didn't understand.  His support alone is worth the price of the program!   

Cheers, Wayne "Kila" Watts, President PilotSpeak.net

Well done on a fantastic site, the theme, community builder and everything link together very nicely to create a very nice website.

I have one suggestion for you, In your restaurants section, you have a few custom fields, like Type of Food, i don't know if you thought of not using it for a specific reason, but it might be a good idea to make Type of Food a click2search field, this can be done by changing the options of that custom field. Whilst not 100% necessary, as you build on content in the site it might help your users to narrow down to a specific type of food pretty easily. I know you can do this in Search, or Advanced Search, but its my personal opinion that Click2Search makes it much easier...

Once again well done on a fantastic site, just a quick question, how did you integrate google maps into your site, i am guessing that given that you have a map loaded on your page, you probably have some custom fields not showing up, like latitude and Longitude  that feed these values into the google maps application, am i right with this one?, do you have to enter the latitude and longitude by hand or did you find a way of automating it?

Cheers - Trav

Thanks for the tip on Google maps, that would be so much easier than using latitude and longitude on my site!.... Cheers...


In terms of the click2search, it probobly only needs to be done on something like Type of Food, not really suburb, because you could put a search box in somewhere to search for the suburb or something like that. The other option if click2seach stuffs up the google maps is to make the Type of Food field a select, or multiple select field, and then use the jReviews Fields Module, you can set it to show up a drop down list of the values of a specific field, so you could do the same with Type of food somewhere, and providing you made it Select or Multiple select it would solve the problem without needing click2search i think....

Well done on a great site!
