Simply Amazing by Dom, November 29, 2007
A little hard at first due to my low level of experience....then I discovered the obvious and complete walk through.... Amazing THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!!!! this is what I have been looking for for a loooong time.... MAyeb it is my lack of experience but until now I did not know how to get ratings only on specific content instead of spread all over my page.... Either way this software is way better then the MOS Rating adn Ajax.... thank you again

The worst by sjb1963, December 30, 2006

I have had nothing but trouble with this component from day one. When you get it to work, the output is nice and clean. The fact it's dependent on another component to be installed isn't great. The support forum is pretty useless. I would rather not have ratings at all than have to deal with this any more. I'm yanking it! Of, and SEF support is sketchy at best. Sure, it does them, but if you use anything but the built in SEF support of Joomla, it tanks.


Owner's reply:
1) SEF support is not dependent on xtdratings, it is dependent on Facile Forms so there's nothing to do there. Free is free with all its flaws. That goes for OpenSEF as well. You can in fact disable OpenSEF from working with Facile Forms and the component should work fine.



2) Support became useless because xtdrating users (99% of them) were simply free riding without contributing anything, not even in donations, but in participation in the xtdratings forums. I just had no incentive to continue my very good support. A simple example was documentation. Everyone complained and complains about the lack of documentation and no one has offered to write one, except for one person, initially and that wasn't enough. What happened then, I shifted my time to jReviews, where paying users contribute a lot more (not in monetary terms) than free users ever did with xtdratings. I even had a customer create video tutorials for me for free. Another created a banner and so on. Go figure.

I'm new to Joomla and was hoping that this would be easy enough for me to install and get up and running. It was and I'm very pleased with it. Thanks!

Excellent example of FacileForms by Imago, May 25, 2006

Extended Ratings and Reviews incorporates all one can expect from a versatile rating program. The only hack into the code was to globally change the charset to UTF-8 and replace 'htmlentities' to 'htmlspecialchars' in order for the rating categories a the Thankyou message to appear also in non-Latin languages.


A custom database! by PakWaan, April 27, 2006
2 of 2 people find this review helpful:
Yes, this is a review program. But more importantly, it's also the first thing I've found for Joomla! that allows you to create a custom database. I needed to make a database of downloadable software - this program allows you to create custom fields (i.e. title, price, download site, etc) and actually retrieve those things from the database and display them on a page. It accomplishes a lot more than being a review program, which it does extremely well, also. Users can review items (books, software, websites, anything) based on criteria you specify, and have their reviews added much like on Amazon or Download.com.

An EXCELLENT piece of work!


Owner's reply:
xtdratings doesn't really allow creating a custom database. It allows the creation of a template for inputting data, but after submission it's all merged together and the fields are not editable independent of each other.



I just wanted to clear this up.

Perfect for a Review Website by Sleepy_Sentry, March 18, 2006

I needed a CMS for a review website. Sadly, the ones that do exist are expensive and lack the features Joomla has. But with this module, I am able to have a powerful review website with all the features and add-ons available for Joomla.
