Hi,

Just wanna say that your system is truly a brilliant ecommerce system and I've already purchased the Business edition because all the limitless possibilities I see.

Regarding the new voting system, I would like to know if it's possible to customize a few things:

1) The "helpful/not helpful" symbol is currently represented by a +/- sign. Will it possible to replace it with images of "thumbs up/thumbs down" sign? (Kindly refer to sample-01.png.)

2) In a review, is it possible to customize to have the following:
a) Date of review
b) A link to user profile that also can see other reviews posted by the same user
c) A title for the review
Basically, it's what you can find in the Joomla Extension Directory user reviews. (I've attached sample-02.png for it.)

3) In the current "helpful/not helpful" system, one + adds to the number, one - minus the number. Is there any possibilities to customize it to have the following format:
a) "2 of 5 people find this review helpful" (refer to sample-03a.png)
b) 2 thumbs up, 3 thumbs down (refer to sample-03b.png)

4) Is it possible to sort the comments/reviews according to "Most Helpful Comment" or "Latest"? (Refer to sample-04.png)

All these I believe can make the voting system in Hikashop more powerful. Do let me know if it's possible to customize it to show the features with the current version or do we have to wait for future release to have these implemented?

Thanks. Looking to hear from you guys.

Hi,

For all your points except point 4, you should be able to do that by editing the file "listing" of the view "vote" via the menu Display->Views. The vote feature is still young and I'm sure that we'll add more options in the future in order to allow easier customization of the display.
Point 4 is a nice idea too.

I'll transfer your message to the developer in charge of the vote&comment feature.

Sure, it'll be great to be able to add those customization features into the next version.

However, there might be immediate customizations that I might need done due to the website needs to launch sometime this month or next month.

In regards to my early post, refer to item 2(a), 2(c) and item 3:

1. What file do I have to customize in order to show the "date of comment" and also to input a "title of review"?
2. Is there any file to customize in order to achieve either item 3(a) or 3(b)?

3. Also, an additional enquiry not found in the earlier post: Is there any pagination options to the comments? Right now it's like "All Comments in one page" or can it be done like "15 comments per page" or "20 comments per page" then you'll have to navigate "next" to view more comments?

Thanks. Hope to hear from you soon.

1. You can edit the file "listing" of the view "vote" via the menu Display->Views.

2. You can edit the file "listing" of the view "vote" via the menu Display->Views.

3. There is no pagination possible for now. That will be in the next version of HikaShop. In fact, most of the points you mentioned should be in next version of HikaShop, in a few weeks.

Hi Nicolas,

In this case, I will just gladly wait for your next version to come up.

Thanks for your reply and constantly developing the extension based on our needs!

Also, I would to request and see if you're able to add these two features into your next version. I feel that it would solidify the review system on Hikashop as I felt that nowadays many online customers make buying decisions based on credibility of other customer reviews:

1. Have a individual star count for each star. (Refer to sample-05.png) (Got this from Amazon.com) It helps buyers to see a better picture of how many people vote how many stars instead of the usual average rating.

2. Have a "Verified Purchaser" logo for reviewers who truly bought the item from the online shop. This will help to create more credibility of the reviewer rather some random reviewers. (Refer to sample-06.png for the picture...also from Amazon.com) TO find out more about how it works, here's the link where they explain how the Verified Purchaser works: www.amazon.com/gp/community-help/amazon-verified-purchase

I understand for item 2, Hikashop already has a feature where you enable only buyers can comment. But if you're able to show the "Verified buyer" logo at the comment, it would truly create a better credibility on the frontend view.

If you're able to implement these few requests in future releases, it would be great. Hope you can consider them.

Thanks!

1. It won't be in next release. The features for next release are mostly done and we'll move to the testing phase soon.
We'll add that to the todo list but it's not a priority for now.

2. That's already in HikaShop I think. It displays that the user has bought the item in the comment display.
