Product reviews template

Posted in: Newsmag

Hi,

We’re planning to review different kind of products and we’re a multi-author blog. The issue today is that it’s hard to make everyone use exactly the same criteria and criteria names. Sometimes they forget one, sometimes they name it differently.
How is it possible to add predefined sets of criteria so users wil choose the kind of product and automatically have the right criteria to rate the product ?
Is it natively possible ? With a hack ? Or maybe in a future release ?

Thanks.

Hi,

Sorry for the delay!
Unfortunately the theme doesn’t have an option for that, and we cannot provide custom work at this moment as we’re a short team and our products development, updates, fixes and support takes all the time that we have, so considering this I believe the best solution for this would be to try and find a plugin which you can use for that however I can’t recommend you one as we haven’t tested the theme with any of those types.
You can also try to find and hire a developer or an experienced freelancer to get this done for you.
We had different request related to the reviews system however we haven’t decided on anything until now. I’ll add your request on our list and consider it if we plan to improve the theme’s review system in the future.

Thanks for the message!

I would personally like to see an option to add predifined lists of criteria on a per category basis. I think this would save a lot of time and stress to editors.

At present, every author that signs up must check other reviews in the category to see the criteria used and what order they display. Without keeping this the same it can look unprofessional.

I would say this would make a welcome addition in my opinion.

Hi,

Thanks @00rgiles!
I’ve noted your suggestion and we will consider it when we decide to improve the reviews system.

Agree, its a real pain having to re-create the scoring criteria for each review. It would be amazing to be able to create one or more criteria and choose from these as relevant.

Surely this has seen enough interest now to warrant improvement. Some of us are using this theme for our business and so we cannot afford to hope you guys think it important enough to work on.

I hoped picking a premium template such as this would mean I could put forward requests and they would be added into the roadmap.

This hasn’t even made a roadmap yet.

Hi,

I see, unfortunately we haven’t taken any decision on this yet so I still can’t provide an accurate answer on this other than your request will be reviewed. We have over 200 feature request at the moment so we have to pick very carefully what we implement into the theme.
I’ve forwarded this to theme’s developers and as soon as I’ll have an answer from them I’ll update this post.

Sorry for the inconvenience!
Thanks for understanding and for your message!
