Is it just ratings or can you also create events that will appear in the listings. And will it be possible to select a venue that is in the related listings. That off-course in combination with community events.

Most of our 300+ groups are related to countries or the states/provinces within those countries.

If someone created a JReviews listing or review related to a country (jr_country) or state (jr_state,jr_country), is there a way to set it up so that review or listing would automatically appear in the appropriate EasySocial group stream for that country or state?

Thanks. -- Rik

Just wondering is there a way to to link the ES Groups to JReviews listing by connecting ES Group Ratings to Listing Ratings. ES Groups App should display  JReviews listing ratings and reviews?

Just wondering is there a way to add ES Pages to the Everywhere Add-on, where listing categories can be linked to ES Pages Profile and create an ES Pages App that should display JReviews listing ratings and reviews just like the ES Profile Apps?

I know that there are several sizes that can be used, but I've been testing with a normal JReviews listing that has an image allocated as the EasySocial Profile Picture (avatar) and the smaller image size is allocated for the avatar profile pic. I thought there might be a setting somewhere that would allow the larger image, but can't seem to find one.

In my travels, I found the following file and code

html/components/com_jreviews/jreviews/views/helpers/community.php

public function avatar($entry, $options = []) { $defaults = [ 'return_url' => false, 'class' => '', 'text_avatar' => true, 'profile_link' => true, ]; $options = array_replace_recursive($defaults, $options); $options['class'] = 'jrAvatar '.$options['class']; $avatarKey = Sanitize::getBool($options, 'large') ? 'avatar_lg_path' : 'avatar_path'; $avatarPath = null; if ( isset($entry['Community']) && !empty($entry['Community']['avatar_path']) ) { if ( Sanitize::getBool($options, 'large') && Sanitize::getString($entry['Community'], 'avatar_lg_path') != '' ) { $avatarPath = $entry['Community']['avatar_lg_path']; } elseif ( Sanitize::getString($entry['Community'], 'avatar_path') != '' ) { $avatarPath = $entry['Community']['avatar_path']; } }

I've used xdebug to step through it and it seems to set the larger image with

$avatarPath = $entry['Community']['avatar_lg_path'];

but then community.php gets triggerered a second time and sets the smaller image

$avatarPath = $entry['Community']['avatar_path'];

The first time was triggered from html/components/com_jreviews/jreviews/views/themes/default/listings/detail_header.thtml with the following code

if ( !isset($avatarImg) ) { $avatarImg = $showAuthor ? $Community->avatarLarge($listing, ['class' => '', 'text_avatar' => false]) : false; }

The 2nd time, the below code from  html/components/com_jreviews/jreviews/views/themes/default/listings/detail_header.thtml seems to be the trigger

<span class="jrListingAuthor"><?php echo $Community->avatar($listing) . $Community->screenName($listing,true,true);?></span>

At least, that is what seems to be going on. Anyway regardless, I can't seem to work out where it is getting the options from to decide which sized image to use as the avatar.

Any help would be much appreciated ?

The issue that I am getting is that when the user is assigned a default easysocial avatar on registration, the shortcodes do not show that avatar. If the avatar is specifically uploaded by the user then that avatar will show.

If I don't assign a default avatar on registration and turn on the Easysocial option "Named Based Pictures for Users Without Picture," the avatar is still not shown ( I registered a new user and created a new listing to test this).

If this is expected behaviour, could you perhaps point me in the direction of the relevant file that controls this behaviour?

I first discovered the issue with Easysocial 2.2.4 and JReviews 3.5.1.0.
I was able to replicate the problem using Easysocial 2.2.7 and JReviews 3.5.2.1
In both cases I was using Everywhere Addon v.1.0.0.0
Joomla version was 3.8.12

Is it possible to have it display on the About page instead? I've played around with the configuration options, but can't seem to find anything relevant. Below is my current configuration options.

If it can't be done in the settings, could you perhaps point me in the direction of the file responsible for it?

Is it possible to use shortcodes or some other method to display Everywhere addon ratings/reviews in regular listings?

From a technical point of view, would it be easier to automatically create a listing than to display everywhere ratings in regular listings?

Long Version

I'm using the everywhere addon for easysocial profile reviews. When the user creates a listing, I'd like to display their profile ratings/stars reviews on that listing. The listing itself would not have its own ratings or reviews. Originally, I'd hoped to do it using shortcodes, but after reading the docs I'm pretty sure it can't be done. Is there any other way that I could do it? Possibly with a theme override? or some other method? I guess what I'm really trying to do here is assess the level of complexity involved.

Alternatively, I am thinking to automatically create a listing whenever a new account is created. I've mostly got this sorted (and comparatively it seems to be the easier option), but it is not my preferred method as I didn't want to create a listing until the user was ready and I'm really not fond of creating a dummy listing. From a technical standpoint, which do you think is easier?

If there are other options that perhaps I've overlooked, please let me know!! This is really critical to my site.

I'm using a deals component called CMLive Deals (CMLD) and I'd like to allow users to rate each deal.  Can I use JReviews to achieve this?  Perhaps with the Everywhere Add-on?  

If not already possible, could I somehow customise Jreviews to achieve this so that these ratings also show up in a customers "My reviews"?

Thanks for your help.

Can someone confirm whether they can replicate this problem or not?

There is a small chance that it is due to my modifications, but I believe the ratings problem is due to a change in the EasySocial wireframe theme. The file found at html/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/default.header.php

seems to have been replaced with html/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/default.php

and beforeBadges has been removed. Searching for

$this->render('widgets', 'user', 'profile',

gave me the following results.

By adding

<?php echo $this->render('widgets', 'user', 'profile', 'beforeBadges', array($user)); ?>

to html/components/com_easysocial/themes/wireframe/profile/default.php

the ratings are displayed next to the avatar, but a new problem arises-the ReviewMe app stops being displayed.

That's as far as I've got so far. Any input appreciated.

I'll post anything else I find as well.

I don't understand why nothing happens when i click on "add new review" (ajouter un nouvel avis") in the "Reviews of Me" plugin of the jomsocial profile page.

See this little video :

JReviews v2.7.13.1

This page mentions that it works with BuddyPress: https://www.jreviews.com/blog/intro-exploring-the-possibilities-for-community-integration

However, Everywhere is not listed as a Addon on the Wordpress page?

https://www.jreviews.com/wordpress#add-ons

Fingers crossed it is. 

cheers

The way I've done it in the past is find the public function onProfileDisplay() and then for instance in the easyblog community plugin, I would add this :

There are some days, Alejandro updated Everywhere Add-on, so we can now rate EasySocial Groups and Events.
Thank you to him for his great work !!

Now for the integration is perfect, I thought of a few things that would make all the difference to improve the user experience (UX).

Because images are worth more than words, I realized a video simulation.

What do you think ?

If you too, you would like this concept become a reality, do not hesitate to manifest you here 

Although this subject concerns more team Stackideas, I also posted a topic here to speak to users JReviews.

Thank you !

I'm already familiar with EasySocial customization, but I'm not sure about the JReviews side of things, so I'm trying to evaluate whether I can do this or not. In terms of JReviews customization, how difficult would it be to add the fields to the listing for the easysocial profile? Any pointers as to how/where I should start?

Any information you can give me would be a great help. Thanks.

UPDATE:

If there are better alternative ways of achieving this I would love to hear of them.

I want to use everywhere Addon for reviewing jomsocial members. All works fine, but I want to exclude "normal" user from having access to the reviews. How can I do that? Keeping reviews only visible to admins.

Regards,

Daniel

I'd like to get some advice / guidance on how best to launch a reviews directory using this awesome component. My query is, for someone launching a review directory from scratch, are there any benefits to using JReviews Everywhere with Mosets Tree or SOBI2 as opposed to the built-in directory functionality within JReviews itself? So far it seems to me that the use of the JReviews functionality produces very slick looking listings and reviews pages, but the management of the directory and listings is a bit messy (using com_content categories). Mosets and SOBI seem to enable easier directory management but (in my opinion) the resulting listings and reviews just don't look as good and aren't as usable.

Is there anything else that I'm missing, and does anyone have any advice for the best method to choose?

Thanks,

Jeremy.

It would be a nice addition to have an option in the Everywhere Addon for JReviews to include the person being revieweds avatar in the stream post. The current format is slightly lacking.
