The Most Precise and Detailed CCK ever made!
JReviews is undoubtedly one of the finest WordPress/Joomla extensions ever built. From geocoding of nearby businesses within your search criteria to advanced results that allows you to find exact posts/reviews from a given region/place. Having instant search, find by author/review, featured listings, frontend editing, directions, tabs, favorites, and beautiful listing layouts are just the tip of the ice berg. -- Performance & Security -- While JReviews has hundreds of features that have an amazing amount of flexibility; speed and security of content are at the forefront. Whether it be concerns about passing queries into shortcodes, permission checks, advanced settings per listing types. An example of post permissions would be having specific sets of users to be able to review, add videos, but not add images directly to the article. Can set limits for display, attachment count, who needs to be moderated for reviews/submitting and so on. -- Examples of what JReviews can do -- • Forum post on listings for precise discussions. Posts can have a listing as a relation followed by styling the comment form to act as the reply field. An example could be if you had a listing called "Camera Gear" I could create a thread (listing) set it's relation to "Camera Gear"; from that listing you could see the thread "Thoughts on Sony a7VI". Place in a search module to be able to search discussions related to that specific post (similar to Amazon's question search on a product). Unlike standard forums you have much more than just a standard category; discussions in places people will find them. You can display it abroad with ratings, metadata/fields, and have subscribed searches so that you can watch topics automatically to your criteria. • Be notified when friend's go to amazing places. I can get email updates that are consolidated once a day or once a week from people I care about with precise information using the EngageUsers addon. Also can be notified or stream places that I'm watching for. Not only will this motivate people to explore the world, meet people, be a huge driving force for the site; it can even promote safer traveling. • Planning places: With a bit of creativity of what you want users to be able to search up, you can give them the tools to find what it is that makes them happy. Whether it be people with a very precise interest, level of skill, event calendar showing when people want to meet, backup plans checklist, gear checklist, goals of the year, external resources associated with the listing, best rated places within a state, related reviews, and many more possibilities. • Classified Listings: Have your community sell gear, products, or services within the directory. Make relations across listings so that people are more likely to find relevant listings. • Advertise products that people actually want. If I had an article discussing a garage project that required precise gear we wouldn't want the ad showing cars or a simple query. We'd want to show something with competitive prices to that exact product to make the ad far more likely to be clicked and be less annoying to the viewer. -- Support -- Alejandro is extremely supportive, responsive, and gives great tips to accomplishing your specific project. Documentation is also quite the treat with a user forum of enthusiasts who share code and have great ideas. JReviews sets precision to a new level. After looking through hundreds of extensions including other powerful CCK's for WordPress; JReviews wins in a landslide.
