TP Reviews module

[Ken.]

Just curious, is it frowned upon to modify modules and/or fix bugs during long absenses of support?  I would cerntainly post my findings here.

You are welcome to work on or edit files that you have on your site Roy.
As for posted altered code for this Module, please hold off on the for now, I'll send you a PM.

I've spoken with Dragoon on IM just now. He's given permission for the TP team to go ahead and modify things if needed. If you have some fixes I'd be glad to add them. If not, I'll try to see if I can figure some things out when I get a spare moment.

Thanks guys!  Want to let you all know that I'm trying to be respectful...I understand priorities.

I contacted Dragooon though his other site about 6 months ago now and he said he was too busy with his new gallery mod and other projects that nothing was going to happen with this one....

I've got hopes that either something will happen with this module OR a new reviews module will emerge...this is valuable module...when others are faced with using a more complex "pay-for" review system because there's just not much out there and they see one here in open-source format the demand will ramp quickly.

I've fixed a few errors in the code. I'm hoping I got them sorted. The only thing I haven't had a chance to look at is the guest error you reported. If I can't find that soon enough I'll at least post my fixed files for the errors.

I guess "hopes" equals Brad well at least it's something.  Thanks for looking into the code and what are your impressions with regards to ownership of this module?

-Roy

[IchBin]

Well, the ownership has been transfered to the TP Team by Dragoon. So, I don't see this module going to waste. If I can figure things out, I'll certainly add some features and fix it up as best I can. If you or anyone wants to help, I'm all for it. We can make this thing as cool as possible, only limited by the skills of coding abilities. lol

[lextalionis]

Okay Brad, thanks for the update...I'm glad to hear positive things about ownership.  While you work on some areas I will start looking at the TPReviews.php and asking some questions about the code with a developer friend that does a lot of php web forms.  Maybe I'll get him to register here.

It's probably too much to start off on, but I'd like to figure out how to select item where rating = max or something to that extent and then post it to the tpreviews category index so a user can see the top rated item up-front.  Of course, the little things stratightened out first is the main focus.

Not sure if this is being worked on or not... but I am wondering with the rate fields rather than everyone having to input them when the review is created, can these be setup by default?
