  • Listing Type 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 should create only one 'Book' listing type for all your book categories.


Creating a Listing Type

General Settings

  • Listing Type 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)
