Virtuemart 1.1.2 integration

[mrskiprat]

Hi guys,

Currently trying to fully integrate Jcomments2.0 into my site.

Looked really great so I thought I would let it deal with my shop comments too.

I have tried following the instructions here however, and cannot complete the details as I cannot find

  $product_rating = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_CUSTOMER_RATING .": <br />";


in the shop.browse.php


My shop is virtuemart version 1.2.


Thanks!

Open file /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.product_details.php
and find lines (approx. 348-353):

Code: (php)

/*** Show all reviews available ***/
  $product_reviews = ps_reviews::product_reviews( $product_id );
  /*** Show a form for writing a review ***/
  $product_reviewform = ps_reviews::reviewform( $product_id );

and replace to:
 

Code: (php)

  $comments = $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/components/com_jcomments/jcomments.php';
  if (file_exists($comments)) {
    require_once($comments);
    $product_reviews = JComments::showComments($product_id, 'com_virtuemart', $product_name);
    $product_reviewform = "";
  }
 

Open file /administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.browse.php
find and remove next lines (from 398 up to 405):

Code: (php)

                if (PSHOP_ALLOW_REVIEWS == '1' && @$_REQUEST['output'] != "pdf") {
                        // Average customer rating: xxxxx
                // Total votes: x
                        $product_rating = ps_reviews::allvotes( $db_browse->f("product_id") );
                }
                else {
                        $product_rating = "";
                }
 

That should help.

Any news regarding this issue?
But why use VM 1.2, isn't it buggy?

Works fine for me

I allowed commenting on an article, and used that as my feedback page


I can send you the url if you want to see what I mean.

Saludos.

No he conseguido integrar JComment 2.0.0.14 con Virtuemart 1.1.2 en Joomla 1.5.8 siguiendo los pasos de Sulpher.

Si alguien me pudiera ayudar se lo agradeceria mucho.

Please speak English.

What is the problem of yours with integration?  Please write on which way the error occurs? What you cannot do? Did you clean site and browser cache after modifying code?

[nesmajnik]

Sulpher your explanation doesn't work to. You say that we need to find this code

Code:

/*** Show all reviews available ***/
  $product_reviews = ps_reviews::product_reviews( $product_id );
  /*** Show a form for writing a review ***/
  $product_reviewform = ps_reviews::reviewform( $product_id );

but I find only this code:

Code:

/*** Show all reviews available ***/
$product_reviews = ps_reviews::product_reviews( $product_id );
/*** Show a form for writing a review ***/

if( $auth['user_id'] > 0 ) {
$product_reviewform = ps_reviews::reviewform( $product_id );
}
}

Then I deleted that code and I replaced with 

Code:

  $comments = $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/components/com_jcomments/jcomments.php';
  if (file_exists($comments)) {
    require_once($comments);
    $product_reviews = JComments::showComments($product_id, 'com_virtuemart', $product_name);
    $product_reviewform = "";
  }

and then I delete this code in shop_browse.php

Code:

if (PSHOP_ALLOW_REVIEWS == '1' && @$_REQUEST['output'] != "pdf") {
                        // Average customer rating: xxxxx
                // Total votes: x
                        $product_rating = ps_reviews::allvotes( $db_browse->f("product_id") );
                }
                else {
                        $product_rating = "";
                }

But it doesn't work!
I have Joomla 1.5.8, virtuemart 1.1.2 and Jom Comment 2.0 RC1 Build 218

Hello. I am new using JComment. My system is J1.5.9 and now Virtuemart 1.1.3 (latest). I have installed JComment with the following observations.

- I cannot find............. $product_rating = $VM_LANG->_PHPSHOP_CUSTOMER_RATING .": <br />"; anywhere.
- The star rating system in Virtuemart has dissappeared completely after hacking the files. Stars are not displayed in the front
   end. They are however displayed in the backend admin for reviews.
- Existing published comments are not visible anywhere. Cannot find any way to make them visible.
- New comments can be posted as the commenting layout is displayed. This seems to be ok.

Any help with this would be appreciated. Thank you.

[mrskiprat]

Looks like 1.1.3 of VM has changed some of the coding.

Hopefully there is still an integration possible

This also happened with Virtuemart 1.1.2. I had hoped that upgrading to the latest version would fix this issue. Could the developer please check this out. Thank you.

I have a feature request to make: make a "natural" integration with VirtueMart.

What does it mean?

SImple:
IF is installed and is enabled Jcomments bot, echo as product_review form
else
Use default VM product review form.

Thanks

Hi -

I would like to see an example please!

Thanks -

Sorry mate,

Though I am using Jcomments still, I've had to remove the shop commenting as it no longer works 

[inthysite]

I just installed this on Joomla 1.5.14 and VM 1.1.3 and it works just fine.  I've followed the instructions listed in this topic with no problems, worked first time.

Here is what my code looks like (rather than delete the old code I just commented it out so you can see the changes)

This is administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.product_details.php:

Code:

/* LIST ALL REVIEWS **/
if (PSHOP_ALLOW_REVIEWS == '1') {
/*** Show all reviews available ***/
//$product_reviews = ps_reviews::product_reviews( $product_id );
/*** Show a form for writing a review ***/

//if( $auth['user_id'] > 0 ) {
//$product_reviewform = ps_reviews::reviewform( $product_id );
//}
$comments = $mosConfig_absolute_path . '/components/com_jcomments/jcomments.php';
  if (file_exists($comments)) {
    require_once($comments);
    $product_reviews = JComments::showComments($product_id, 'com_virtuemart', $product_name);
    $product_reviewform = "";
  }
}

This is administrator/components/com_virtuemart/html/shop.browse.php:

Code:

//if (PSHOP_ALLOW_REVIEWS == '1' && @$_REQUEST['output'] != "pdf") {
// Average customer rating: xxxxx
        // Total votes: x
// $product_rating = ps_reviews::allvotes( $db_browse->f("product_id") );
//}
//else {
// $product_rating = "";
//}

Hope this helps someone.
