Which is the best review script around?

Hi,
I want to know which is the best review script (paid of open source), where one can rate products and leave comments, should be easy to install

 

Okay, that depends upon whether you're using a CMS or a standalone script. Also, your budget.

That said, Joomla has a component called JReviews that is incredibly sophisticated. You have to pay a licensing fee of about $100 (at least for the first site - not sure if there is a multisite discount). I've used the trial version, and it is mind-boggling.

Now, if you want a standalone script, one that I've seen here is Five Star Review Script I haven't personally installed it, but I have gone to the site and played with it. Very comprehensive as well. The script has a one-time, one-domain license of $125.00. The full pricing options are listed here.

If all else fails, visit Hotscripts or SourceForgeand see what's there, of course with the caveat that some of this stuff may not be exactly polished.

Hope this helps.

 

I like that

 

You can also give a try to CrowdVox, our script is really flexible and it's visually appealing with web2.0 design as compared to other scripts in market.

 

What about open review script?

 

i strongly recommend Open Review Script

 

If you need any help with OpenReviewScript let me know, I'm the developer who made it

 

why not use WP with review plugins ? it's free ~

 

Use city reviewer from b-scripts.com.More features and cheap and good for a startup.
Stable release after 3.7

 

You could try any directory software, directory software is perfect because the directory would link to the site or product you are talking about and also have a listings details page where you can have comment and rating plugins, take a look at phplinkdirectory.com and esyndicat.com and also subrion.com

 

are there any sites based on OpenReviewScript that we can take a look at?

 

headstar
have you used the script personally? is there any support available in case of problems/hacks etc?

 

Ohhey! Hi there, bc1!
Maybe you can help me - I've just installed your wonderful script, perfect for my needs - thanks a lot!!!
So; is there an easy way to display the "rating_image" for each review in "category-view"? Tried it in "category_results_content.tpl" with

<img src="{{= template_path() . 'design/images/' . $result->rating_image }}" alt=""/>

Code (markup):

similar to

<img src="{{= template_path() . 'design/images/' . $latest_result->rating_image }}" alt=""/>

Code (markup):

in home_content.tpl
I'm not familiar with CI and maybe there's a quick workaround for this...? Would be great to have the avg ratings displayed there.
Thank you very much - greetings from germany,
