Review Help

Hello we've been trying to set up a review system on the forum for bookmakers, poker rooms etc. Can someone have a fiddle here and see if they can post a review? No pressure just for those that like a fiddle.
http://www.thedailypunt.com/reviews/

Dont worry about the funny coloured header as i'll have to look at that

thanks

Re: Review Help

ive taken off the forum intergration slick for now. It wont work as we have the sidebar. we need their sidebar. We can look at recreating the header and also using the same css. Im just looking at getting to grips with it a bit.

Re: Review Help

Slick ive got it running pretty good. Just need to work out how to add extra fields (possible) and to remove some fields (price paid etc) More details here-
How do I...? - Page 2 - PhotoPost Community

Once we get the fields sorted i will start banging in all the bookies and then maybe we could look at the presentation and intergration. Should be good and do the job

Re: Review Help

cool Kegman thanks. Im quite pleased with it. I should be able to tune it to suit our needs. Im wondering if we could slit the bookmakers up into sub sections and like wise with the poker rooms etc. seems a shame to have them all just piled in together. Ill have a think but if amnyone has any suggestions or thoughts then ithey would be much appreciated.

Re: Review Help

slick in Global Options it looks like these paths could need filled in. Maybe why the header wont display proper

Full path to Header Include File
To include an HTML file as the header, enter the full path.

Full path to the footer include file
To include an HTML file as the footer, enter the full path.

Full path to HTML file containing head tags


worth a shot i reckon. you'll find

vB3 INTEGRATION
Do you want to enable the vB3 Integration which uses your vB3 headers, footers and styles?

in edit intergration

Re: Review Help

probs to sort-

1) no username or avatar showing in reviews (for me)
2) Header/Forum intergration not good
3) Fine Tune the FIELDS Let me have a look at the fields from uploading a product to reviewing it. Ill start this smoke so if i ramble dont mind me. im just trying to get things sorted and then we can fill the fcuker up with every godamm bookie in town and then i really do think i will have finished my adminning.


Right viewing a product. I would like to to see-

a nice big screen shot or two (sorted)
Name - ok
Rating - ok
Type- Tarad , online etc
Operator - PartyGaming, etc
Established - year
Jurisdiction - Gibraltar london etc
US Players Policy - Not allowed
Company's T&C - link to their t& C's

all the above dont need to be sortable. Nah maybe they do. Why shouldnt they? so we need to add more fields to the upload product temple. There will be more to it than that as the language file will need strings added (i think) anyhow on the simplest of levels thee could be just inputed by me/us as we add the bookies. Be better if they did have their own field though and if we can make fields sorttable then all the better. Using the keywords like the ukash one is a dirty workaround and if we can display ...actually we can as its just a search link. If all of the above are just keyword answers then they are searchable (with no need for year etc)

URL - link to website. Dont think we have the wysiwyg editor with these but im sure we can sort that.

TRAFFIC - look at things that give you website ratings. HTML Is allowed in fields if we want so im sure we can just bang something in there if we can get the custom fields working

LANGUAGES - wee flags for all the languages of the site

Odds Format - EU, UK, US
Minimum Bet - text field
Maximum Bet - textfield
Maximum Winnings - text field
Live Betting - text field or drop down but i suppos ethe back end ain that important
Telephone Betting - ditt
Mobile Betting - ditto
Sports Rules - a link to their rules
Currencies - EUR GBP USD (keywords?)
Deposit Options - Visa MasterCard Visa Electron Maestro Solo etc etc (wee symbols for each)
Deposit Fees - yes/no or text
Withdrawal Options - as per deosit options. all deposit options to be keywords
Withdrawal Fees - Check (by FedEx) - €25 Bank Wire - €2 etc

some contact info and maybe we could have the latest deposit pbonuses etyc but i dont mind not having to update it as folks can find out fro themselves or else see the offers littered about the forum etc. If they get a bonus then good on them.

Also we should have a list of all the bookmaers being reviewd in one long coloum with small banner. Might be a bitt messy so maybe a seperate page somewhere on the site with them all. Just link directly to the review thread. also look at the TOP RATED output and make up a page where it displays the top rated (all of them) in a decending list.

Sounds good on paper. A little bit of intergration would be nice to try and make it all as seamless as possible. Also look at ways to display the latest review on the forum (rss?)

Right ill go look at the review system now.

Re: Review Help

Review Fields-

i suppose if i can learn how to change 'Positive aspects of the product (pros)' it would open all this up to us. Thjere s plenty of threads about the place from my previous requests for review fields so we should be ok. Just need to suss how to change the review fields completely as thats the key to it all. I suppose we go knowhere till we can so at least we have a place to start. Bah where do i start? lets look for instances of 'Price you paid?' as we dont need that field.

Soz im just thinking out loud here. So its the template files i need to change. If i find the tempaplate file for 'Price you paid?' then that will be the way to go...they dont give much away on this forum...

pp-inc.php file under the function topmenu - thats for changing the menu up top. I will look to add a link to the forum there.


looks like it could be the reviewstmpl Slick. here's the price code in the add review form

PHP Code:
    <tr>
    <
td class="{$Style['tddetails']}">
        <
span class="{$Style['medium']}">{$Globals['pp_lang']['price']}</span>
    </
td>
    <
td colspan="2" class="{$Style['tddetails']}">
        <
input type="text" name="price" value="$price" />
    </
td>
    </
tr
The only differance in that code from other fields is the 'price' If i was to change that and duplicate it i will either blow it all up or else have added custom fields. there must be more too it than that (language) so i will keep trying to read more before attempting it.

whatever we do to the review template we need to do to the showproduct.php to display it Maybe i hav all the info we need. so i need to go get rid of the existing review options and add.....fcuk i forget. This is you guys reviewing it. errrrrr i quite like th epros and cons. Maybe that could be reworded. duplicating 'Would you recommend the product?' could give us a pull down selection thing. i really cant think of what we can have in here now. before all the review coloums where for individual ratings. this just has one. What could i ask of you in drop down box format that we dont already have lsited for the bookie? shit i will need to think about this. Now im thinking that the pros and the cons aint good as folks will just write in there and not bother typing anything in the review box. will we get reviews? No we will just get loads of spam posts and folks posting when they are pissed off with a bookie. Aye i will have to think. all help appreciated

Re: Review Help

cool that worked (well it removed the price field when submitting a review) Maybe we could add it again as it gives an average price on the display. Maybe it could be used as a seperate rating system. Ok it can be so i'll put it back and change the language to suit. Bah what can it be for? its to the left of 'Average Rating' Anyhow we have TWO RATING systems to think about. Maybe we could duplicate it a few times and have a seperate rating for 'speed of payout'. This is where i do blow it all up
