I finally sat down for a few hours and started setting up a product review system. I promised this a long time ago and am just getting around to finally setting it up. You will probably have to log out and log back in to see it. Go to the main page of the site http://www.goosemoose.com . To see the products already reviewed click on Product Reviews under the resources menu. To submit a new product for review click on Submit New Review under the user menu on the left. I will get an email telling me that there is a new submission then I will review it and set it to published mode.

Please check out this system! I would like it to become something like epinions, but just for pet products. It could become a great resource for pet lovers. Right now only submissions for rats is working, with the sub-categories of Books,Cages,Toys,Food, & Bedding. If you have other ideas please let me know, I will get the other animal sections up soon.

The way it works is that the first person writes out the product description like what it is and who makes it, then is allowed to rate the item and give a review of it. Everyone else is also allowed to give the product a review. The system will keep track of the products ratings.

Right now you rate Durability and Ease of Use. These are pretty lame but were the quickest things I came up with. Give me some more ideas of what you would like to see rated!

For some reason it's only letting me show one section at a time. I'm working on that right now. Kim, make sure to look under resources on the menu on the left side of the screen, not the resources along the top. I haven't put it there yet. I did add a cat review on my automatic litter box. Let me know if you can see it and what you think!

Goose, the review links are a weird yellow colour for me, which makes it hard to read.  I've provided a screen cap.  As you can see, the "Powered by xtdratings" link is blue, which I'm guessing is the colour the other text is supposed to be.

Oh, I also checked with Menagerie.  She sees the links as blue, so I'm not sure why it's just me.  I'm using Firefox btw (she is too).



Edited to add: I just went back to the product reviews page, and now the links are blue and look fine.  Go figure.

Siana,
Thanks for the pic Smiley You actually caught me right in the middle of changing the colors. You computer probably cached the color for a few minutes. Try reloading the page. It should show up as blue now Smiley

Okay, I have it now so that you can look at the reviews and submit your own by looking under the resources menu at the top of this, or any other page. I also put the games link and a few other links there Smiley

Okay, I got everything resolved. You can now rank other people's reviews as helpful and the entire review section has been cleaned up. I just need to mess with the colors a little (the yellow is ugly). Please check it out and post new products, or reviews for existing products! You can get to it by going to Product Review under Resources on the main menu on the top of this site.


Let me know what you think of the newer setup!

Ok. I just revamped the product reviews section and got it running smoothly again. Anyone mind testing it out please? I hope to get it so that it lists the number of product reviews you have done in your forum profile.

A few days ago, I noticed that there weren't many reviews up, so I wrote a few. But now they're gone! What happened?

Hi Kathleen,
 I know and you wrote a few great ones too Sad The problem was that you wrote them on the day we had server corruption last week. So when I did the restore from the night before we lost it. I will be adding back the link under everyones name with how many reviews you've done. I'll make sure to bump yours a few even though they didn't get listed. Feel free to add a few more though!

It won't let me post reviews.  Error message comes up saying "ff*something*string...not writable...please change name of image..." And I get a message in my browser bar that says "error on page". 

And what format do the pics need to be in?  URL, photobucket, off our pc...what?  I've tried several ways and none work.

HELP!

Hmmm, it says I'm not logged in everytime I go to view a review? Do I have review first in order to see the reviews? I'm confused  Huh

I wondered about the reviews, myself. They haven't worked in a while. Any chance they'll work again soon? I love having the resource!

The problem has been that the software I used for the reviews is now charging about $100 for the new version. I've been waiting until we get enough donations to cover it, but it's not happening. Hopefully I'll have some extra money soon and I can buy it. If anyone would like to donate, they can always purchase it for us, *cough *cough*,* hint* hint*.
