jReviews :: Customer support forum

I am very happy to announce the release of jReviews 2.0, which has been in the works for several months. I hope you like it

1) jReviews 2.0 is a complete re-write of jReviews 1.2.x using an MVC (model-view-controller) framework derived from CakePHP. The View and Controller functionality remains very similar to that of Cake, but the Model is not. For anyone wishing to get familiarized with the file structure and framework, the CakePHP website is a good resource.

2) The functionality, database and configuration remain the same as in jReviews 1.2.10, so upgrading to jReviews 2.0 is possible.

3) jReviews 2.0 is compatible with Joomla 1.0.x, Joomla 1.5 (natively and in legacy mode), Mambo 4.6.x.

4) The template system has been replaced with a php theme engine based on the MVC framework. This means none of the previous templates based on patTemplate will work with jReviews 2.0. Three themes are bundled with this version and one of them is for dark templates.

5) The urls generated by jReviews have changed to make them friendlier even without a SEF component and thus easier to convert to sef when a component is used. Integration with SEF components is still pending.

6) So far only the component and a listings and reviews module have been released. The rest of the modules, CB plugins and addons will be developed soon.

7) This is a beta version, not intended for production sites. If you use it in a production site it's at your own risk. I will fix bugs and do (6) as soon as possible, but I am not responsible for your production site. There will most likely be code changes before jReviews 2.0 becomes stable.

For now, jReviews 2.0 will only be available to paying customers. jReviews is a free upgrade as long as your upgrades package is active. Otherwise you need to review it to get access to the download. jReviews comes encoded in both ionCube and Zend, however the Zend version only works in php5 and with Zend Optimizer v3.3 and higher.

The jReviews 2.0 demo site is at http://demo2.reviewsforjoomla.com

Hi,

I'm a new fan of your products and it seems I will be the first to congratulate you for this new version !
I created my first Joomla site two month ago and now ... I'm waiting this "jReviews 2.0". I hope it's will be the final touch of my work, but, to be sure, I would like to use the Trial  Version.

Do you have an idea or a date for this (beta) Trial 2.0 ??

Thanks a lot ... and really great job !

JM

 

Congratulation!!!!!!

Great News!!!!

Credit card in hand!  Looking forward to it.

***EDIT***  Hi mate - The download file in the files area still says BETA.  When will you have the file updated?  Cheers -Phil

Congrat Mate !

After few months of upz and down its finally here.

Alejandro thanks for the new public beta...the changes sounds great.

One question though (I couldn't find an answer for it):
In the past you've mentioned that you're going to switch from Blueflames/Phil's xajax javascript framework. Is it done in the 2.0 version ?

We have so much troubles with xajax...I've had to ask that 

Congratulations. I've just barely scratched the new demo, but I already like several of the changes I've seen.

That is correct. I just want it to be clear that this is not a production-ready version and not all modules/addons are available. If you want to use it to start with the development of your site and the jReviews theme, then that's fine because that part will not change or if it changes at all it will be minor.
