Exclamation Article Reviews Plugin

Hello everyone,

I am hopefully buying a Vivvo CMS Pro License this month. However, there aren't many plugins for Vivvo. I was wondering if there are plans for a "Reviews" plugin to be made.

I own a Subdreamer CMS license but they have been promising a reviews plugin for their cms since 2004 and up to this day they haven't made one.

My questions are:
  • Are there plans to create a reviews plugin that will allow admins to create custom fields?
  • Is there a way for me to transfer data such as articles to Vivvo?

Thank you for reading my post.

Hey there, thanks for joining our Forums

I'm not sure what exactly goes under "Reviews" plugin? Frankly, nothing similar has been on our minds for Q1 and Q2 2008, but we're always open to good suggestions... I know there aren't much plugins for Vivvo right now, so we're mainly focused on making vast repository of assets in the next few months.

As for your questions:
- I have no clue what "reviews" plugin would be, so I'd appreciate some explanation. On the other hand, our plugin development schedule for next 4-5 months is pretty much final, so I wouldn't put much hope on new things coming ahead of schedule...
- Absolutely yes, we do not have publicly available importer scripts yet, but they will be soon. And until then, we're doing conversions from other systems to Vivvo on demand.

Thanks for your reply!

A review plugin allows writers and members with the right permissions to submit reviews articles.

They work in a similar fashion to the news but have extra configurable fields so you can give the article. Here an example:
  • Product Title
  • Product Image:
  • Publisher:
  • Developer:
  • Format: DVD
  • Release Date:
  • Rating: 1/10
  • extra info: http://a link
  • source: http://a link
  • Release date: 12/12/05
  • extra comment field:
  • unlimited additional images
  • Category/categories:
  • Related reviews/news:
etc

When this plugin is installed, it would create a new category/section in Vivvo. I like video games a lot so I will post a link to a games site so you can see how I would like that section to look like http://www.gamespot.com/reviews.html (front end).

An individual review page should look something like http://www.gamespot.com/ps3/action/m...ne/review.html (front end).

Rating System
The reviews articles should have a ratings system for both the reviewer and the readers.
  • Reviewer/Website Score 7.0
  • Critic Score 7.5 (based on 5 reviews)
  • User Score 81 votes
  • Your Score: (Click & Slide to Rate)
I know Vivvo is fairly new but from what I've seen it is the best publishing CMS out there. I'm just waiting on new Christmas/NY deals and more plugins.

This is a big plugin but I think a lot of Vivvo users would thank you for it. People could use this plugin to review anything, not only video games. This would boost your selling stats in my opinion.

Thanks for detailed explanation. We've been thinking about something similar for a while, but I can't promise when will this be available. We will probably have How-To for this one of these days/weeks, but not a full plug-in anytime soon.

Thank you for taking the time to reply, boccio!

I know Vivvo is aim to news publishing not a portal. However, reviews are a great addition to news sites. Thank you for considering this post! Looking forward to heard about this! Thanks!

Hi,

I'm also looking for this exact feature (reviews) but more of a star rating.

Example:

sound: ***
Graphics: *****
overall: ***

Maybe if we have more interest in this type of feature the vivvo team could pull this out of the bag for us

Cheers!

This plugin will have many uses. Many news sites now have reviews section.

Alex, what's the estimated release date?
