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.

First I would like to say this mod is great! I love the idea and love that it's designed as a "baseline" however, I don't know anything about coding. Would it be possible to add thread thumbnails and thumbnails for the productforums.php? If so, how would I go about doing this?

Because the does not (currently) store photos doing image manipulation and thumbnails would be quite a page. You could however add a field for a smaller image version and then tweak the custom forumdisplay template to show it... that's probably easier than resizing every image.

Apologies if this has been asked recently, but is there any word on multiple ratings categories per individual product (ala GARS)?

Nothing on the calendar just yet... Interest in the mod has slowed so we've stepped towards other projects.

You'd have to add a field to the database table to house the thumbnail url, then an admin script change to manage it and of course pull it back out from the front-end however you see fit.

It's more than basic styling but short of full blown coding.

How much would you charge to get that feature added... or at least to get this back on the top of your priority list?

We don't offer custom development... It's simply a matter of knowing there's enough interest to dedicate time to the project.

Is there any option to change a rating?

Is there any option to correct the "stats" shown in postbit (they are wrong because of tests, i finally deleted the test reviews)?

When will you fix this bug, that you cant edit products which arent at the first page, because you cant change the page?

thank you

As an admin you can edit a review comments although tampering with something beyond content moderation is a big no-no.

You can reset the reviews on a product through the database. There is no resync script to do it for you.

This was fixed months ago.

Screenshots are in the first post. I don't host a demo site but you can find example urls from other members -- just remember they're live installs.

vB 4.2 update: Reviews have been tested with no issues. We'll be doing a small feature update on the mod this week and will work through the rest of the features at that time.
