JReviews Submit Forms
Information is entered into JReviews via the Listing, Review and Media forms:
- The Listing form - for submitting listings (articles).
- The Review form - for submitting editor or user reviews and ratings (or comments only).
- The Media form - for submitting media items (photos, videos, attachements, audio files) to listings or reviews.
Listings and reviews can be submitted only via the frontend of your site. There are two ways to access the submit form:
- Create a "Submit New Listing" JReviews Menu Item.
- Enable the "Add new listing" button in the configuration so it appears at the top of every Category list page.
The Review form is available to listing detail pages, so that visitors viewing the listing can submit their reviews.
You can also enable the review form to be displayed together with the listing form, if you want to enable users to submit listings and reviews at the same time.
The Media form will appear as a second step after listing or review submissions. You can also enable "Add Media" button for listing detail pages so that users can easily add photos at any time.
