How to enable reviews in a component

If you want to allow users to add the reviews, you need to enable respective plugins for each extension you want to use it in. Most of them have their own settings where you can tailor functionalities to your taste.

Joomla articles integration

Go to Extensions -> Plugins and find "Content - DJ-Reviews".

  • Rating group - select rating group for this plugin
  • Listing pages - display average rating on article listing pages
  • Display average rating - display average rating at the top of the article
  • Exclude/include method - select the method
  • Exclude/include categories - select article categories in which plugin should be disabled
  • Excluded article IDs - comma separated list of article IDs in which plugin should be disabled
You can manage the DJ-Reviews also directly in Joomla! categories and articles.

Managing reviews in categories

Open the Joomla! article category you want to manage the reviews in and go to the "Options" tab. There you'll find the settings:
Make needed changes and save the settings. 
All setup made here will populate for all articles in this category. You can, for example, create different rating groups for different article categories.

Managing reviews in articles

You can also manually enable or disable reviews in particular Joomla! articles.
This can be helpful if the article is in the category that has own rating group assigned but you need to disable ratings for this single article for some reason.
To do so, open the article you want to modify, go to the "Options" tab and scroll down for those settings:

DJ-Classifieds integration

Go to Extensions -> Plugins and find "DJ-Classifieds - DJ-Reviews".

  • Rating group - Select rating group for this plugin
  • Author rating group - Select rating group for users
  • Blog/grid layout - Set whether to show rating in blog layout

  • Excluded categories - Select categories in which plugin should be disabled
  • Excluded advert IDs - Select list of advert ID's in which plugin should be disabled
  • Notifications - Notify via email product owners

Now users can rate and review both single adverts and advertisers.

Let's see some examples on the front page.
