Hi,
I have a question in regards to jReview,
1. I'd like to hook the product review to external website (online shop), how easy is it to do this? I'm thinking to hook the "buy this product name" button to search result on the online shop for i.e. www.onlineshop.com/results.php?searchstring=product+name

2. Can a different group have a different external link? for i.e. Group 'DVD product' link goes to shopA.com and Group 'Book product' goes to shopB.com

3. I'm planning to link the product to forum result too, can I do this too?

4. If I have one review website then later I decide to split it into two review websites (by buying another license) Is it possible to integrate two websites  with just one member database?

Many Thanks  Smiley

It's easy and there are many ways to do it. You can use the title of the content itself to create your custom search link or you can use a custom field.

If you want to use the content title, then you would need to have a custom field that tells you which shop you want to link to and then create your template code from there. Or if the shop is determined by category, you could use the category id or title.

As long as the forum accepts a link similar to the one you posted for the shop, then it's the same.

jReviews doesn't enable you to do this. There are user synchronization components for multiple sites, but that's the only thing that will be synchronized. The content and reviews remain isolated.

Alejandro,
How easy is it to upgrade from jReview 1.0 to jReview 2.0? And how long do you think it will take before jReview 2.0 is ready for a production site?
Thanks

If you are upgrading in J1.0.x, then it's just uninstall/reinstall, but of course you lose any template changes you made. If you are upgrading both jReviews and Joomla I posted some info in the installation and configuration board.

I have received few bug reports so far and have fixed all of them. I've been spending time on completing some tasks I didn't do before. I also put together the fields module. Given the changes I've made and I'm still making, I'll release the next update as beta and quickly move to a release candidate after that, suitable for a production site. Then I'll complete the suite of modules/plugins/addons.
