I am looking for months for a reviewing module. I know "Myreviews", and it meets some of my needs; but I would need to adapt it a little bit.

Others talked to me about smartsection; it is great too, ut it would also need some adaptations, I think more than the "myreviews" one.

Could anyone help me ? I don't have the skillz to adapt these modules; If Myreviews was chosen, I think the adaptations might not take weeks of work ...

Any help would be appreciated ...

Checked out your other post about the reviews module. What is it exactly about myReviews that doesn't suit your needs? By the way you described your objectives, it seems that it should accomplish the task for you.

My need is that I define a few products, attached to categories or subcategories. This can be made by webmasters only. Redaers can then "review" the products. Myreviews can do that but I would need these adaptations :

( to be short : add a few fields and change the way datas are displayed; for the detail, see above :)


- get rid of some useless things (onion, we recommend it, love at first sight, hall of fame)
- in the index.php, have a few other blocks : list of categories, 5 products with their screenshot, 5 most popular products (depending on # of views), extract of 5 reviews
- In the "reviewing" part (readers side): Add 4 fields to what is existing : price paid for the product; pros; cons; would you recommend it ?; Add the smilies and XOOPS colors for text system (for the moment there is no option for the review (just the same as everywhere elese in XOOPS system)
- When clicking on a product : Have the description of it (street price, description, views, reviews, overall rating and other defined ratings (myreviews allows to create categories of reviewing) and the screenshot. Under this, the reader's reviews, sorted by date (10 reviews by page, with "1, 2, 3 ..." for the number of following pages (to the older reviews); in fact, the way smartsection handles reviews would be nice (with the mising fields).
- Finally, If I could have alarger screenshot (handle this in the admin part), everything would be perfect.

the Fred miranda's site displays things the way I would like them (it's another PHP script that does the job).

As you can see, what is the most important to me is not what the webmaster creates (the description of the product), but what the users and readers say (review) of the product. That's what is quite different of others modules I have seen. Myreviews does quite the job. The admin part is great.

Do you think it is a big job ?
