This plugin lets other users adding reviews and ratings (comments and votes) to the entries in your SOBI2 directory.
Main Features:
- The front-page layout can be changed easily with CSS.
- An AJAX based pagination system is integrated to limit the maximum number of entries for one page.
- AJAX technology is also used to send the review and rating information. Therefore the page won't be reloaded after a review or vote is submitted.
- Backend administration panel for various settings of the plugin.
- All reviews and ratings can be edited, deleted, published or unpublished in the Entry Manger of SOBI2. The entry settings are expanded by a tab "Reviews and Ratings" where all submitted votes and comments for an entry are shown.
Various Settings available:
- Use it to only vote or only comment the directory entries.
- Allow all users to do this (anonymous voting and commenting) or only for registered users.
- Users can be allowed to vote and comment one entry multiple times or only once (per user or per IP if anonymous rating is allowed).
- Publish reviews automatically or not.
- Determine the review form position
- and the number of reviews shown on one page
- or the sorting order of the reviews.
- Show user name or real name of your registered users if they wrote a review, together with their email address or not.
- Change the information text shown above the reviews form
- and the date format of your reviews easily in the plugin administration panel.
- The number of reviews for an entry can be shown in the V-Card of the entries.
- If an entry is updated in the meantime a message can be shown to point up this fact.
- Emails can be send if a review is made. Use the various placeholders to customize your emails.

This looks like a good plugin. I even think it can be a good competitor to Jreviews one day.
Unfortunately it doesn't work with Joomla 1.0.15 although it says it is "1.0 Native". I tried in 4 different 1.0.15 installations in two different servers, but no luck.

The SOBI Review & Rating works well and is easy to install. The user-interface is simple to understand for the end-user. The Administration aspect is just as clear. The only thing is with the parsing of apostrophe's from the end-user input. I find that if I clean up the / from the Admin panel then that solves the problem. Thank you very much for this wonderful software. :)

SOBI is a very good component to manage a phone-book with many options already integrated. The plugin Review & Rating is realy an added value to make a web site today. It is a first version with only basics functions, I hope there will be some coming improvements like multi-criterias for rating.

The SOBI 2 component has moved forward by leaps and bounds with superb features and functionality. More features and plugins seem always to be in the works and always quick to come. This SOBI2 Reviews and Rating Plugin works perfectly and is easy to configure and easy to moderate through the back end of each directory related entry. Overall SOBI2 is an excellent alternative to such directories as Mosets Tree and outperforms many others with its ease of use and features.
