Listing Type (Criteria) Manager is where you connect custom field groups and rating criteria for different 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 would create only one 'Book' listing type for all your book categories.


Creating a Listing Type

General Settings

  • Title - name 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 listings you don't want users to review or rate)

Rating Criterion

  • 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 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 to have a better idea how to rate in the review form

Custom Fields

  • Select the field groups you created for this listing type (both listing and review field groups)
