Reviews

[burt]

As anyone knows, word of mouth is a powerful tool. If you can get your customers to write reviews, it's a good thing...with that said, here are the pieces in Phoenix (add addons) that interact with Reviews.

Should anyone know of any other addons (free or paid) that interact with reviews, please add to this thread...

Core - Admin Side

1. Page that allows you to view/add/edit/set status/delete reviews.

Access this page at Admin > Catalog > Reviews

Core - Shop Side

1. Review Stars/Link - Admin > Modules

This module shows in the product_info page in two ways depending on the number of reviews.

or

rev-1.jpg

As you can see, they are broadly similar

2. Review writing page

This is the page that is accessed after pressing the "write a review" link as shown above. This page has logic in it that (a) checks if the customer has purchased the product and (b) has not already written a review about the product. If either check fails, they are redirected back to the relevant product page.

3. Review Display - Admin > Modules

Displaying the reviews is done on the product_info page by a content module.
It looks like this;

Here are the extra addons (which are included in the PRO download of Phoenix)...

S01E08/9 - PI module "review stars"
app.php/tag/s01e08

This extra recreates the "review stars / link" (see #1 above) as a PI module.
PI modules give you (shopowner) a lot more flexibility when creating the look of the product_info page.

S02E11 - Tab module for displaying reviews
app.php/tag/s02e11

This extra takes the "Reviews display" (see #3 above) and places them into a tabbed interface.
The tabbed interface saves a lot of space in you product_info page.

S03E02 - admin can reply to reviews
app.php/tag/s03e02

This extra allows you, shopowner, to directly reply to reviews!
Your reply is displayed in the "review display" module..

S06E08 - Keys allow customer to write review without logging in
app.php/tag/s06e08

The Keys part of Phoenix PRO allows your customer to perform certain actions without having to log in!
This extra allows customer to write review(s).

S09E01 - Reviews Image
app.php/tag/s09e01

This extra allows customer to upload an image as part of their review.
The image shows in the "reviews display" module.

I just had a look at my review system getting ready to automate (using queued emails) the process of asking for reviews as well as thanking, and perhaps rewarding those customers who do so. I have both the review stars pi module installed as well as the tabbed review module. Given that I figured it would be useful to have a link from the review stars output that opens the tab containing the reviews so customers could access those reviews more easily. I figured this would be a fairly easy thing to do but ran into a snag when I discovered that some javascript was required to link to a bootstrap tab. I don't have any experience using javascript but I did find a few routines on the web but unfortunately I wasn't able to get any of them to work. I'm sure my lack of knowledge is the problem so I thought I'd ask if anyone else has done this and if so, whether they would share how they managed to get it working. Anyone?

Dan you're definitely going to need to use JS to do this. I'll have a look later on and try to come up with something.

Here’s a great add-on for encouraging customers to leave reviews by rewarding them with points created by @raiwa
app.php/addons/paid_addon/points_rewards/
This Points and Rewards system is designed to boost sales and motivate customers to spend more in your store.
Customers can earn shopping points for making purchases, writing reviews, or referring new customers.
These points can be redeemed like cash and used to pay for future orders during checkout.
