Re: Review.cgi (2) In reply to
to make the name and email field not required for ratings but required for reviews..

in review.def

from:

Code:
'Contact Name' => [2, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', ''],
'Contact Email' => [3, 'alpha', 40, 75, 1, '', '.+@.+\..+'],

to:

Code:
'Contact Name' => [2, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', ''],
'Contact Email' => [3, 'alpha', 40, 75, 0, '', '.+@.+\..+'],

it will require for reviews automatcially.. i forgot to change this when i made the external rating thingy..

Hi, I need some help installing your mod. When I run Install.cgi I get a little table thingy with this info on it.

I have problems getting the user review interface to work. I submit the review and get the review_success, but in admin there is 'No records to validate'. Any idea why and were I have to do modifications?

Autovalidate seems to be working but not the validate 'one by one' option ...

Hi. I've looked a lot... maybe I'm tired.

But I installed it all fine, can review and all. But The actual information by each site listing hasn't changed. How do I get it to show stars for the site's rating? So it's actually by the listing?

Thanks

Ok, I'm 10 hours down with Review.cgi finally installed. One MOD at a time is always a better way to go.

BUT...

I'm trying to find an example of the External Ratings script that will work ok without screwing up Review stats but won't require the full details, like email,etc...

I tried looking for the one that Widget had on his site in August but he's obviously spring cleaned since then...

Can someone send me the relevant files or point me in the right direction..

Cheers

Re: Review.cgi (2) In reply to
I'm trying to get review to work and am having some trouble. I can submitt a review from the admin screen and it will make it. Although, the auto-validate does not seem to work as it should. The "build-all gets stuck at the auto-validate. I have to use the "staggered auto" to get the pages built.

When I try to submit a review from the site, it won't do anything, all I get is a server "time out". I have gone through the code, and checked permissions. I do not get any errors in the error logs.

Does anyone have some ideas where to continue my error search to get this working.

Thanks for your help!

I've tried installing this review MOD for a few days now. Whatever I do, I get a 500 error when I try to run install.cgi. The path to Perl is correct, I've tried chmod-ing it to every possible permission, nothing works. Is there something I'm missing? I've searched the forums and resources for a clue but to no avail. Any help would be appreciated.

Make sure that your $db_rates_path defined in the links.cfg file is set to 777 (drwxrwxrwx).

BTW: Have you reset all the Ratings and Votes for your database using the reset.cgi script?

If you remove it and you reset the Ratings and Votes, you will not be able to use the rate.cgi file anymore.

There are codes provided in this Thread and other Review.cgi Threads that discuss using both rate.cgi and review.cgi.

But, technically, with the default install of review.cgi, you will NOT be able to use rate.cgi ANY LONGER!

Got it?
