Requests / Re: User reviews in V4

« on: May 04, 2013, 11:43:05 AM »

Hi,
Is there a decision whether there will be an option to use the default text editor (as defined in joomla backend) for user reviews?
It should be easy to implent, and can be optional... so no change to the default simple review component.

I had encountered a couple of cases, in which I edited the review in the backend, using JCE, and afterwards the user updated the review from the frontend - ruining all my work in the backend (since the yvbbcode overwrote the html from JCE)

Requests / Publish date for review

« on: May 04, 2013, 11:41:29 AM »

Hi,
In regular joomla content, the article doesn't appear before its publish date, and I can set the publish date in the backend. In this way, the site published new content without requiring me to actually update it at that specific time.
This is excellent.

However, this feature is missing from simple-review - i.e., content is either published, or unpublished.
It will be great if it will be possible to add the publish date to simple-review...

p.s. I have also looked for a donation button to simple-review creators, but didn't find it.... should be easy to add and allow the users to express our thanks for the component.

Requests / User reviews in V4

« on: March 17, 2012, 04:37:48 AM »

Hi,
Glad to see that you are working on ver 4 and including the translation per the joomla standard :-)
Have a couple of questions regarding the new version:
- will the templates be the same as V3?
- Will Joomla 1.5 be supported?
- And  a request for an option to allow user reviews to use the default text editor, in the same way that a user (with the right permissions) can use JCE ... Currently user can submit article, in my site, using JCE but not when writing review.

Requests / Re: [Request] Translation files & Changed files only

« on: April 29, 2011, 01:40:38 AM »

Thanks
Didn't notice you already have a changed files only package - I have updated to 3.0.3, later will update all the way :-)
Regarding the translation, at joomla it is possible to define one language for frondend and another for the backend.
However, simple-review is mixing it up, so this is a headache. I don't know if joomla languages are implemented in the best way, but at least it solves the mixing between frond-end and backend.

Requests / [Request] Translation files & Changed files only

« on: April 25, 2011, 12:30:39 AM »

Hi,
I don't know if it has been implemented, but it will make simple review much easier for me to use, if the translation files are in the same standard as joomla itself - thus saving me the trouble to re-translate the whole module, everytime I Want to update (this is why I'm still at 3.0.0 :-( )

Also,
Is there a changed files only update option? not replacing the whole lot? As I have modified the template, this will also mean I don't have to re-do the template every update, just the changed files.

Thanks
Daniel

Requests / Re: Language, interoperability and user order by X

« on: December 17, 2010, 07:48:35 AM »

Hi ,
I have downloaded 3.0.0
Regarding the hack, i have simply changed all float: left to float: right and vice versa in the template CSS file.
I assume that to make it automatic it should be a selected value that the program recalls according to the setting in the control panel.

The new version is very nice, even though the upgrade didn't work for me ( I think there is missing info in the SQL update script) - so I just reinstalled and imported the data.

However, the language files are still a mess - can you please make sure that in the next update the language files will be according to the joomla coding standards? it will make it much easier to translate. It takes me a long time (in fact, i didn't finish yet )

Requests / Language, interoperability and user order by X

« on: October 17, 2010, 11:55:41 AM »

Hi,
A few requests for next Version, If I may

1 - Utilize language model as per 1.5 standard, in the languages sub-directory, using the overall site language setting. No need for a separate "locale" module... and it is much easier to have a single file to translate, like for most 1.5 components.

2. I have the tags extension on my website, but it doesn't recognize the "simple-review" as content, so I can't give it tags. not sure if it needs a plugin or if this is depending on simple-review coding, but it is not fun.

3. Give back the ability to order the columns in the category view by date/user/title etc... like there was in V1.3.5

4. Maybe add a random review module, like top and latest

5. Add RTL support to component, other components have it and its much easier than to hack the code.

6. Add ability at config to set whether at category view to show "top reviews" or "latest reviews", instead of hacking the file.

7. Ability to show related reviews by custom title - let's say that I have an "artist" title, allow me to display all reviews for the same artist if somebody is reviewing one of his works.

p.s. I have hebrew translation for 2.2.4 if needed let me know where to email it.

Hi,
Completed upgrade to 2.0.7. but the ability to sort the review by headers is gone...

Or was this feature removed?

General / Re: Update from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3.1 Database error

« on: September 30, 2010, 11:00:22 PM »

Hi,
I have edited both the updater files, to drop the following "check" -

   $converted = SRDBWrapper::Query("SHOW INDEX FROM #__simplereview_review WHERE Key_Name = 'idx_srr_blurb_content';");
   if(count($converted) > 1)
   {
      SRError::Display('Database has already been upgraded.', true);         
   }

The upgrade continued without a hitch - successes all around :-)
Looked at the tables manualy, both review and components seems to be updated with the changes (fulltext in the reviews, additional entries in the components).
I will now continue with files update and hope all will be good.

General / Re: Update from 2.0.1 to 2.0.3.1 Database error

« on: September 30, 2010, 10:17:42 PM »

Hi,
MySql Version is 5.0.51a.
I intend not to update the whole joomla site, if it works, don't change it. Maybe when V1.6 is out i will give it a go. However, in any case I will need to do it step by step, there is no direct v1.3.5-> V2.2 update.
The reason i upgraded simple-review is for the new comments and stars feature... I hope I don't regret it.

Anyway, is there an option to post here what querys I should run on the DB? as I have access to Mysql directly, so maybe I can workaround - if it is only an interface problem.
