Both DJ-Classifieds and DJ-Reviews are paid extensions that you can get
separately or in the
bundle.Assuming you already have a classified ads website built on DJ-Classifieds you can easily add the rating/reviews functionality to it by installing and enabling DJ-Reviews features.
DJ-Reviews component setup
Install
First, you need to install DJ-Reviews package.
Rating groups
Once it's installed you need to create the "
Rating group" for DJ-Classifieds' integration.
Do it as explained here. Depending if you want to add an option to review and rate both adverts and advertisers or just one of those create one or two rating groups.
For the purpose of this tutorial I have created two groups:
"DJ-Classifieds Ads Ratings" and "DJ-Classifieds Advertisers Ratings" groups, both with default settings that I can adjust later.
Rating criteria
DJ-Reviews DJ-Classifieds plugin setup

- Choose the Rating group for ads and advertisers (accordingly to groups created in the earlier step)
- Adjust other settings per your needs.
- After that step, the plugin looks like this:

The first example is the review added under the single advert.
And below you can see the example review written for the advertiser:
