The previously released 2.2.4 had some installation problems. Both the main installer and patch have been corrected.

Version 2.2.4 has been released (upgrade). It is another small release and fixes the category order being ignored as well as new lines in user reviews not being preserved.

Update: There is currently an issue with the 2.2.4 installer. Please install 2.2.3 and then apply the above 2.2.3 to 2.2.4 patch.

Version 2.2.3 and an upgrade for 2.2.2 users has been released.
The release is very minor and just includes a few layout fixes for the user review submission form.

Upgrade for 2.2.1 users to version 2.2.2. Backup your site. Unzip and follow instructions. Download here.

Version 2.2.2 has been released. It includes various minor fixes as well as a beta version of user submitted reviews – please read more here.

An upgrade will be made available soon for 2.2.1 users.

Simple Review 2.2.2 provides a beta (i.e. experimental) version of user submitted reviews to be used at your own risk. Currently when enabled any registered user may submit a review (future versions will allow more control), the review cannot contain any HTML and it must be published by an administrator before being displayed on the site (any time a user saves a review it will revert back to unpublished).
How to enable user reviews:

• Download the yvBBCode plugin (direct link). Install it. Publish it.
• Under the User Reviews tab in your Simple Review configuration set Enabled to true and add an email address to receive a notification when a user submits a review.
• While still in your Joomla administration select User Menus from the Menus menu.
  
  Click the New button.
  
  Click the Simple Review node (under Internal Link).
  
  Under User Reviews click the Article Submission Layout node.
  
  Give the menu item a name.
  
  Set the Access Level to Registered.
• For every category that you wish to allow user reviews you must edit the category and check Allow User Reviews.
• Leave feedback here.

It has been a while since the last update.
I posted an incomplete template help page a while ago, but I am still yet to finish it. Perhaps someone out there who has managed to create their own template can help me out

I have been doing a bit of work on the user reviews. It is kind of functional but needs more security. I was going to force all user reviews to be in BBCode and not HTML, but now I am having second thoughts. Any one have any strong feelings? Please post in the forum before it is too late.
