Demo database export: jreviews-sample.sql.zip

Demo sample media files: sample-media-files.zip

This allows you to have a local copy of the JReviews demo site to test JReviews. It is not possible to add this sample data to an existing site.

Steps to setup the demo site

1. Download the latest version of Joomla 2.5 from http://www.joomla.org/


2. Install Joomla.


3. After installation is completed, use PHPMyAdmin to import the downloaded jreviews-sample.sql.zip file to the same database where you installed Joomla.


4. Edit the configuration.php file in the root of Joomla and change the $dbprefix variable to 'tkm7_'. The line should look like this:

public $dbprefix = 'tkm7_';


5. Extract the downloaded sample-media-files.zip file and upload the extracted "reviews" folder to Joomla's /media folder. So, the paths to the media files will be:

  • root/media/reviews/attachments
  • root/media/reviews/photos
  • root/media/reviews/videos


6. Go to the /administrator area and log in using admin/admin.


7. Install JReviews 2.4 the same as you would for a normal installation, follow these instructions: Installing JReviews component. Before the installation make sure your server meets all JReviews Pre-install requirements.


8. Install the iReview 2 Joomla template and set it as default in Joomla Template Manager (Optional). If you want to use a different Joomla template, you will need to go to the Joomla Module Manager and adjust the module positions and class suffixes of modules to match those that your Joomla template provides.
