- The Listing Type Manager is where you connect custom field groups and rating criteria with your listing types.
- You need to create one or more listing types and each will need to be assigned to one or more Joomla Categories.
- For example, you should create only one 'Book' listing type for all your book categories.
Creating a Listing Type
General Settings
- Listing Type Title - Name of your listing type (Book, Movie, Hotel, ...).
- Comments & Ratings - 3 options are available:
- Allow comments and ratings
- Allow comments without ratings
- Disable comments and ratings (useful for News and other listing types that don't require comments or ratings).
Rating Criteria
- Add unlimited number of criteria on which users will rate the listing in the review form. If you disabled ratings you don't need to enter anything here.
- Required - Uncheck if you want the criterion to be optional.
- Weight - Criteria weights for weighted average rating calculation. The total must add to 100, do not enter the % character. If left blank a simple average will be calculated.
- Tooltip - Hints for users on how to rate in the review form.
Custom Fields
- Select all the Field Groups you want to connect to this listing type (both listing and review field groups can be selected)
Configuration Overrides
For some of the JReviews Configuration Settings overrides are available so you can have different settings for each Listing Type:
SEO Manager
To customize page titles and meta tags, click on the SEO Manager tab:
SEO Manager enables you to easily customize page title, meta keyword and meta description for each listing type so that they change dynamically based on section, category and custom fields.
Important: The custom title will not work because of a bug in Joomla 2.5 and 3.x. To make it work, you'll need to apply a patch as shown here: Custom title set in SEO Manager not working
Tags that you can use
- Listing title - {title}
- Section title - {section}
- Category title - {category}
- Meta description - {metadesc}
- Meta keywords - {metakey}
- Custom fields - {jr_fieldname} (i.e. jr_brand)
Example of customizing title tags
By default the page title tag uses listing title only, for example the title of the "La Grenouille" restaurant listing has this title:
<title>La Grenouille</title>
To customize it, we can add additional tags in the SEO Manager for that listing type, for example:
Then the title would look like this:
<title>La Grenouille - New York Restaurant Reviews</title>
The same way you can customize the Meta description and Meta Keywords tags.
You can use any combination of tags and your custom text.
