K2 JReviews integration


Alejandro

Recommended Posts

DO NOT USE THE FILES IN THIS POST. The integration file is already included in the distribution of JReviews and the latest k2 template files can be found here.

 

Here it is.

 

1) Unzip both of the attached packages:

 

  a) everywhere_com_k2.php file goes in components/com_jreviews/jreviews/controllers/components/everywhere/

  b) template files go in components/com_k2/templates/default

 

2) Clear the File Registry in the JReviews Admin

 

3) Set up at least one listing type (Criteria) to use with K2 in the JReviews Listing Type (Criteria) Manager

 

4) Setup the K2 categories in the Everywhere Addon in the JReviews admin

 

You can modify the template files to change the layout. It's also possible to use the "detailed_ratings" key, in addition to "summary" and "output" to display the detailed ratings in any of the templates.

 

If you find that the first file is already there, it means this is an old post and it has already been included with the package. No need to replace it then.

 

The integration allows you to create custom review forms using JReviews custom field functionality. You can also rate things on multiple criteria and even have different review forms and criteria for different categories. Even listing owner replies to reviews and review discussions are possible.

 

Both the JReviews listings and reviews module work with K2 so you can display things like top rated K2 articles, with thumbnails, as well as recent reviews of K2 articles.
