User reviews and star system

[davidfarndon]

Is there any way already (and if not can it be placed really high on your list please) that a review system can be added to selected (or all) products within a store?

A bit like the Amazon site, where users can add a review, and others can comment on the review .. give a product 1 - 5 stars etc.,

I reckon this 'networking' is incredibly useful for the purchaser and well worth adding into Actinic as soon as possible please.

Already on if I remember correctly and there are several third part systems out there. recent posts on the subject

Hi Mal .. thanks for your response .. there is?

I've obviously missed this somewhere. Is this on v9? (I haven't yet implemented anything in v9, though I have it) .. I don't seem to be able to see anything like it in v8.x.

any pointers as to where I look, including any third party plug ins would be very helpful.

I think Mal meant there is already request on the Wish List for this, not that it is already included in Actinic as standard.

Check out codepath for the third party option http://www.codepath.biz/actinic_plugins.htm

Beat me to it Dave

hiya .. yes .. I came across the Soapbox plug-in in a few moments ago .. looks like it might well be the thing. I would like to keep it on the Actinic wishlist though as I reckon it should be an integral part of the software nowadays.

I reckon it should be an integral part of the software nowadays.

Along with a 101 other items that are still on the list.

We have recently started using Soapbox and find it be very good for the price:

Only downside we find is lack of customisation and not being able to host it ourselves as it's done in asp.
