Best way to have review module for products

Hi All,

I am planning to add a product review module on my website. Where visitor can post their experience about different products. It's no different than the review about electronic devices, cameras, movies etcs...

I need to maintain reviews
1. With categories, sub categories, brands etc..
2. Upload pictures of the product
3. User to comment
4. user to rate the products (like 5 star ratings)

After reading a lot on xoops.org or even other forum, I understand that it may be easier to use wordpress to achieve this.

Could you suggest if Xpress (wordpress for xoops) is the right choice or not.

if Yes, suggest what is the latest version of Xpress and where can I download it.

if No, what other module I should try.

I am using XOOPS v2.3.1 on a shared hosting so may not be able to upgrade my XOOPS core so easily.

Thanks in advance.

Deepak

hi'

You also could use Oledrion module : just desactivate e-commerce features by one click in module Preferences.

No one seems to maintain it today, but I can't believe that it won't be updated one day !

Thanks Burning. I am concious about Olderion as it is not maintained for long time so i may encounter support issue especially for xooops 2.4. I am not a developer so it could take me a lot of time to fix some of the minor issues.

Do you know if you wordpress can be used to write reviews?

i think a link or download module can do this..just change the language definition to make it look like a review module

Hi There,
I know there is a module called MyReviews. Here is a website that uses it, probably they can have better comments for you.

If you need a copy I might have it somewhere.

you can also adopt any photo album module and allow comment and rate system, it will be a good choice.
