jReviews :: Customer support forum

Hi,

I've tried searching for answer for this - but not had any luck

I need to configure my reviews so the Editor/Author has a different set of Ratings to the Users. Is this possible? I've gone slightly brain-dead chopping up template code over the last couple of days, so forgive me if I've missed something obvious.

Thanks,

Mark.

Hi - thanks for the response. I'd love to show you the site, unfortunately it's a freelance project and I can't open it until the client's ready to launch.

Basically, one of the requirements is for users to rate products, but for the site owner to produce their own, separate rating.

If it can't be done here, I'll write a script that will generate the rating image for inclusion in the page. But I'd much rather have been able to do all through JReviews - especially when it comes to making th editorial process as straightforward as possible.

Great product through - it's really making this job come to life.

Hi Alejandro

Great to hear there's a solution. It's obvious now I see it written down.

One last thing - although it's something on my bug list I haven't reached yet. For some reason, when a review is submitted I'm getting an extra linebreak in between the summary and content, but none between paragraphs in the content (see attached image). Is this the result of me hacking templates about, or something else?

Thanks,

Mark.

Hi Alejandro,

Problem solved. As suspected, it was user error

I'm currently in the process of building out the section pages (now I've finally finished the review templates) - and I've noticed that clicking on a review link from a (joomla) Section Blog page causes the content to load within that page. This has the effect of displaying the article with its modules, but with the section modules. As these both have different layouts and different modules, this somewhat breaks things.

Any idea what I've miss-configured to cause this? I've included the URLs below as example (the site's not live, so the pages themselves can't be accessed - let me know if you want me to set you up an account).

Section URL:
http://happyfuncorp.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&layout=blog&id=15&Itemid=71

Article URL:
http://happyfuncorp.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=132&catid=50:mobilephonereviews&Itemid=71

Many thanks,

Mark.

Hi mate,

OK - just to get this straight.

The site structure worked like this:

Front Page/Frontpage Blog (includes modules specific to that page only)
--Section Page/Section Blog (includes modules specific to that page only)
---Category/Category Blog (has modules specific to that page)
---Blog/Blog-specific template
---News/News specific template
------Articles (has own sets of modules that do not appear anywhere else).

This structure worked fine for the entire site. However, after installing JReviews, this happens:

Clicking from the Category page to load the article seems to load the article into the Category page's com_content area. The affect of that is that the article is surround by mis-aligned modules and it's own (article page) modules naturally do not load.

This is why I get the feeling I may have mis-configured JReviews as the problem originates only when it loads an article process by JReviews.

If that's the same as the issue you've covered in previous post, then it's back to more PHP

{edit}
So more of this kind of thing?

/*----------<?php if( JRequest::getVar( 'view' ) == category): ?>
      <jdoc:include type="modules" name="section1" style="xhtml" />   
 
<?php endif; ?> *------------/

Thanks to everyone for all their help.

The module issue is now sorted thanks to plenty of extra PHP. And the site's looking the way both myself and the client envisages.

Also, thanks for the suggestions on how to fudge a seperate ratings criteria. I think I have the way forward now. But I've had enough for this week, so I'm going back to it on Monday.

Mark.
