That's one quirky review system !
It's down right amazing how many reviews you have as well !
wow.
Same old, same old.
Any ideas how to fix it ?

I have thought a lot about using Resource Manager as a Review system. While it was not built for that purpose, I think it's flexible enough to serve as a basic review system. With additional template modifications, we can make it look like any traditional review system out there.

I agree. Without looking at it with much depth yet, I could make it work as long as I could do the following:
- Have multiple purchase links to third-party sites (instead of downloads on my own site)
- Remove author info and replace with artist
- Change tabs to be relevant (i.e. no Updates; add Video, Lyrics, etc.)

There is zero timeframe for the release of the RM.
Same as this proposed review system. At least you can see RM in action.

I would invest in something like this. One thought of mine though is that for my use, it would have to be able to "recognize" similar review topics. Like if I have a member review object a, and someone else writes a review for object a, I would like them to be tied together somehow or at least indicate that object a has several reviews.

My databases were started running on my mac at home using filemaker and lasso.....on a 56K connection! They communicated with my web server elsewhere....that was in 1998 or so.....
As far as fixing the support, I have not thought it out - but one thing which might help would be for the writers to agree - up front - to release the code to open source if they stopped supporting it. That's just off-the-cuff. This would at least allow users to have other coders modify and update it.

If a system Reviews, complete with scores of visitors, comments, totally customizable, I am very interested.

You can't, it's a custom mod for my site
That sounds mean, I know. The problem is I'm not a coder, so someone else did the mod for me and he doesn't want it to be released because he has no interest in offering support, etc for it. It was developed as a favour to me (I nagged him until he submitted
). If I could offer updates and support for it, I'd consider releasing it. But it's a moot point, since I can't.

Except it would be necessary because the options are hardcoded into it and aren't changeable without editing the addon itself- so unless you're planning on having webhost reviews or Community Site reviews, the options available would be of no use to you at allSupport? We don't need no stinkin' support!
I hope Azhria won't have to answer questions like this when the RM comes out, to be honest.

The RM's nothing to do with me, so
The reason I can't give an answer currently is because it's not something I've ever considered. I wanted the review system for Admin Extra, it's a custom mod that no one else has and, forgive me for being selfish, but I kinda like having something that is different from the norm
So I'd want to have a good think about whether or not I want to give up the rights on it to someone else *shrug*
