JReviews Configuration Settings are divided into different tabs:
Debug PHP & Queries - shows PHP and Database debug information at the bottom of the page. This is useful when you have an error on one of the JReviews pages, but you get a blank page. Enabling this will allow you to see the error messages.
Debug Themes - shows the theme output of each theme labeled with the theme filepath as well as the controller filename and function is used to process the output.
Debug IP - limits debug output to this IP address only. Click Insert IP button for JReviews to enter your IP address.

Disable Overrides - ignore all files in the overrides folder. If you made code customization in the jreviews_overrides folder and something stops working on the site, use this setting to test if the bug is coming from your customizations. The Debug IP setting above has no effect over this setting which runs for all site visitors.
Disable DB Query Index Hints - by specifying index hints in certain DB queries it is possible to improve their performance. In some setups the index hints have a counter effect and disabling the feature allows MySQL to find a better index.
Include language segment in Ajax URI - setting only relevant for multilingual sites. Disable if ajax requests fail on non-default languages.
Load All Minified - most 3rd party javascript libraries are already minified by default. By enabling this setting all proprietary JReviews files will also load minified to improve loading time.
Enable Javascript Loader - loads scripts in parallel and non-blocking to speed up the page rendering process.
Disable jQuery - jQuery is not optional. If you disable it, make sure it is loaded by your template or a plugin (i.e. jQuery Easy).
Disable jQuery UI - jQuery UI is not optional. If you disable it, make sure it is loaded by your template or a plugin (i.e. jQuery Easy).
Joomla style URL parameters - uses the ¶m=val style for url parameters rather than /param:val. It is recommended to leave this enabled.
Disable Secure URLs when site accessed via SSL - useful for add-ons that render site links on remote sites with secure URLs. This only works for URLs rendered by JReviews.
Display 'Results per page' - disabled by default to avoid duplicate pages for SEO.
Security image verification - enables captcha for guests and/or registered users, used in submission listing, review and review discussion forms.
Create accounts for guests - guests will be given the option to enter a username when making a submission to automatically create an account for them. This feature requires that email activation in Joomla is enabled so users can receive an email with a temporary password.
Use username or realname - choose which will be displayed on the site.
Site theme - this is the main theme that will be used for the JReviews frontend. If you will create a custom theme, this is where you'd select it.
Mobile theme - here you can choose a theme that will be used on smartphones. It is recommended to select the same theme that you selected for Site theme. The Default Theme is responsive and works fine on mobile devices by default. The only reason why you might want to use a separate mobile theme is if you want to delete certain page elements only for smartphones. JReviews includes a Mobile Theme that you can use for this purpose.
Fallback theme - all theme files that the selected Site theme doesn't have will be loaded from the fallback theme. The Default Theme should always be selected here (unless JReviews will have two different fallback themes in the future).
Number of items per page - used for pagination.
Number of pages shown in pagination in lists - number of pages between the first and last page.
Show Breadcrumb - adds a pathway on top of JReviews' category and detail pages.
Override CMS breadcrumb in detail page - takes over the article page breadcrumb showing JReviews links.
Running the JReviews cron url is required for maintenance purposes (rebuilding ranks and purging cache). If Run Cron on site visits is enabled, it will run automatically by JReviews when required. If you have a large site, it is recommended to disable this and instead setup a cron job on your server using the url from Cron url.
Community - choose a community extension from which JReviews will automatically show user avatars and create links to user profiles from listings and reviews.
Services - choose which social media buttons will be shown on listing and media detail pages. Output can be modified in /jreviews/views/helpers/community.php file.
Button Count Position - choose between horizontal or vertical social media buttons.
Disable Secure URLs - useful if you use both secure and non-secure URLs on your site to avoid having duplicate URLs for social sites.
Here you can choose on which actions JReviews will send activities to JomSocial or EasySocial.
If you use JomSocial, make sure you enable the JReviews Activity Stream plugin in the Joomla Plugin Manager.
If you use EasySocial, enable JReviews Activity Stream app in EasySocial Applications Manager.
Here you can enable auto tweets for submissions of new listings, reviews or review comments.
Read the Twitter integration article for more info.
The Facebook integration allows users to post their submissions to their FB wall. This is possible only for unmoderated submissions (i.e. those automatically published). Moderation of submissions can be disabled in Access Settings.
Read the Facebook integration article for more info.
It is recommended to set Enable Open Graph Protocol to Yes for better functionality of the Facebook like button.

If one result found, redirect to detail page - disable to always show the search results page.

Theme Layout - available options:
View Suffix - if you want to use a different theme file for the search results page (i.e. listings_blogview_search.thtml), enter the suffix here.
Default query type - 'Any' will look for listings which contain any of the words. 'All' will look for listings that contain all the words.

Cache Settings - cached files will be re-created if they have expired.
Enable query cache
The cache is cleared after the duration time has passed or every time the JReviews setup, configuration, and a listing or review is submitted or updated. This setting, when enabled, caches the data returned from the database for both guests and registered users. It reduces the number of queries per page for lists and detail pages, which have some of the most intensive queries.
Notes: The cached queries will take up disk space because all returned data is stored. If disk space is an issue, monitor it and it might make sense to leave it disabled. It's a trade-off between database queries and disk storage. To get improved results for registered users, query cache should be used in combination with a view cache solution where view cache is typically disabled in both JReviews and Joomla.
Enable view cache (Guests only)
Caches whole views for guest users only. The cache is cleared after the cache duration time has ended or every time the JReviews setup, configuration, and a listing or review is submitted or updated.
Notes: This setting is similar to the Joomla Cache. The JReviews view cache is only for guests viewing the output of the JReviews component, not the entire site. If you are using the Joomla Cache or a 3rd Party Cache, it may be best to turn off this cache.
Enable session cache
Notes on JReviews Cache Optimization in General:
If you enable debug mode in Joomla you can check the number of queries and memory used in the different pages, and that gives you a reference for what happens when you enable/disable some of these settings. When using another extension to compress JS or CSS files you may have to exclude some of the JReviews scripts from the optimization. After optimizing your sites be sure to check all functionality as a guest.

Theme Manager allows you to easily manage customizations for individual categories in JReviews, including the listing detail pages.
The Theme Manager displays a list of all categories, allowing you to select a different layout (Tableview, Blogview, Thumbview or Masonry) and assign theme file suffixes for each of them. Theme suffixes are explained in more detail below.
For any given page, except for search results, the category theme setup is checked first, then the global setting (List page tab in configuration settings).
When a suffix is assigned (i.e. _museums), you can copy and rename any view/css file to use that suffix. If the file is found, it will be used, otherwise the default view/css files are used.
Example:
After adding new files to your JReviews theme, you must always click the Clear Cache & File Registry link in the JReviews Administration so JReviews can recognize the new files:
You can also have different theme files for JReviews Menu items and Modules.
For the Menu Items, you can specify different theme suffix in the menu item's preferences.
For the Modules, you can specify different theme suffix in the module's preferences.
The Fields SEO Manager allows taking advantage of Click2Search pages by adding title and meta tags that can be indexed by search engines.
The Click2Search feature for custom fields can be enabled in the Fields Manager. It links the field text to a results page with listings that have the same field value.
For example, if you have a "Brand" custom field and you enable Click2Search, when a user clicks on certain brand (i.e. Sony), he would be redirected to a page with all Sony listings. With the SEO Manager, you can add Meta Title, Meta Keywords and Meta Description tags to those Click to Search pages.
You can use the {fieldvalue}, {category} and {parent_category} tags in the title, keywords and description fields if you want the value of the field to be shown in the text in the front end. The category tags will work only if you modify the Click2Search urls for each field to use the 'cat' parameter instead of 'criteria'.
Show page title at the top of the list - if enabled, what you enter as Meta Title will be displayed at the top of the Click2Search pages.
Show meta description at the top of the list - if enabled, what you enter as Meta Description will be displayed at the top of the Click2Search pages (below the title).
Example:
If you have Book listings on your site and created an "Author" custom field with Click2Search enabled, when users click on a certain author, they will be taken to a page with a list of all books written by that author.
If you enter "Books written by {fieldvalue}" as the Meta Title for that custom field, the title of the Click2Search page when users click on book author (i.e. 'Dan Brown') will be: "Books written by Dan Brown".
The meta keywords and description displayed below are the same ones stored in the Joomla Category Manager. Here you can quickly view and edit them. You can also add a custom page title and override the page heading and page description for category pages.
The following tags can also be used: {category} - current category title, {category1}, {category2}, etc. which represent the titles of parent categories of the current category. {category1} is the first level, {category2} the second level and so on.
