Whether your forum is about the latest gadget, fashion trend or traveling to distant lands chances are products & services take the center of the discussion and each new experience means yet another thread...


Finding Feedback Can be Like a Needle in a Haystack


The more your forum grows, the more of a challenge it becomes to sort through the history and get the full story.


Product Review Forums Brings Structure to the Chaos


As a full-featured product management addon, PRF sits on top of your forum allowing you to create defined products which, unlike individual posts, stay relevant over time. Each comment, review and even product updates filter back into this one spot allowing for a quick and comprehensive overview while the individual discussions rage on as always.


Here's just a few of the many features you'll find in PRF:
  • Bring structure to products with established pages & reviews
  • Reduce the number of repetitive posts from members looking up the same info
  • Increase your traffic with content-rich, seo friendly, product listings
  • Drive revenue by adding your own affiliate links to product listings
  • Increase the activity stream's value with review integration
  • Engage visitors with integrated wishlists from Giftery.me
===========================

Installation is not upload & go... individualized settings are required!

Read the online setup guide

===========================
QUICK TIPS:
===========================

Enabling Product Forums: To show product details and ratings, each product-forum must be enabled in the forum manager.

Adding Products: You may upload products one at a time through the admin [includes an image uploader using GD] or you can bulk import through XML. You can also enable users to add moderated products through a global and usergroup option.

Product Review Index: To access your forum's product overview go to www.yoursite.com/productforums.php - You may want to add a link to this to your navbar or as a tab.

Customization: This addon is made to be customized. To change the color schema see clientscript/vbulletin_css or dive right on in to the templates and phrases.

Powered by Giftery.me: This mod is maintained includes two integrations you should know about. Both can be controlled through the mod options.

For more information see our overview page with screenshots & demos.

Hey Ted,

not sure what is causing this, I am unable to go to the next page in Manage Products & Reviews through the AdminCP, it just takes me back to the page you first see when you go into Manage Products & Reviews when I click Next Page.

I saw that someone else brought this up but the issue never got resolved as the poster doesn't seem to have returned. My Product listings will end up in the high hundreds fairly soon, the next page function is really a concern, is there a fix for this please.

The fix was posted up pages ago if you can find it... If not it will be in 1.3.

Thank you Ted, that works perfectly.

Arrow Manufacturer Column

Is there any way to add a column for the Manufacturer to the left of the Product column? Also, a way to rearrange the "search" fields so that they line up with their respective columns below?

Yes, you can use the mfrg field to call this up.

I suppose it's possible although the widths will be off so you may have to change the field formats / sizes.

Everything is templated to make it very simple to change -- one for the main page body and search fields, another for the individual records.

I know you're all eagerly [or perhaps angrily] waiting for 1.3 so here's the first sneak peak of the new optional review fields... You get three data types: yes/no, 5-star and freeform. Fun, huh?

And before you ask: These are global options. Category specific versions will come in in the next rev.

And what's this... an image uploader? Automatic thumbnails? Even having them show up in the product forums index? And the search results? Yup.

And before you ask: We're already thinking about multiple images... For the next rev.

Ok, one more sneak peak for the night...

Yes, that's right, it's a forum showing thumbnails in place of the thread icon [sorry, no new post indicator]. And oh ya, that is a new product link at the bottom too!

And before you ask: A manual hack still required for this one, no escaping that with the current vB.

The administrator of this site must disable the vBulletin option "Add Template Name in HTML Comments", a debugging feature, to use this mod. Unless of course they want debugging comments in the reviews.

Please how do i resolve this to enable the page to show?

Go to: admincp/settings/options/general settings

Look for Add Template Name in HTML Comments click the NO option then scroll down and save

You need to add products for products to show up...

That's done through the Product Forums area in your Admin CP or, if enabled, from the user side's via productforums.php?do=addproduct
