How to have reviews on node?
Hi, I've just realized that I don't know a maintained module that enables a user to add a review (= a note + a text) to a node. http://drupal.org/project/nodereview is close to what I need, but no stable D6. Any ideas? Cheers, Denis
You could also approach the problem using CCK nodereferences, http://drupal.org/project/nodereference_url and http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/fivestar Views relationships could display reviews based on the node ID in the URL. See http://gotdrupal.com/videos/drupal-views-relationships for more information. On Mon, Dec 6, 2010 at 11:09 AM, Denis Lafont-Trevisan < denis.lafont@gmail.com> wrote:

Denis, You could create a new content type "Review" that includes a nodereference field to the content they are reviewing. Use the Nodereference URL Widget (http://drupal.org/project/nodereference_url), which will add a link on a reviewable node to "Add a review" (which takes the user to a node creation page of the type "Review" that will automatically be referenced to the node they are reviewing. Then use the Noderelationships module to display the reviews on the original node. Another idea, if you're not using comments on your site elsewhere, you can use the core commenting system + something like fivestar. I'm sure there's a way to override the title "Comment" with "Review" - either with a them override of the String Overrides module. Hope that's helpful!

Always use general tools before specific ones. That is to say, see if what you can do is possible using views, cck, panels, before using a specialized module that does only one thing and may or may not continue to be maintained. For your case, I'd recommend something like the following: Add a new node type "Review" and tie it to your reviewable nodes using a nodereference. Have a look at the following modules: Views + CCK nodereference_url views_attach nd + ds + vd If you put these together right you'll end up with a link somewhere on your node that says "Add a review" (as you choose), which takes the user to node/add form for creating their review. You can choose to display reviews on the node view page using views, however you like. On 12/06/2010 01:09 PM, Denis Lafont-Trevisan wrote:

I've been trying to find someone to take over that module forever. If you're interested let me know. :-) The odds of it having a Drupal 7 version are extremely remote. The other CCK+Views solutions here are probably a better approach. --Larry Garfield, NodeReview author, much to his chagrin On Monday, December 06, 2010 12:09:14 pm Denis Lafont-Trevisan wrote:

Thanks to Michelle & all ! The CCK+Views+ Nodereference URL Widget approach works like a charm !! Many thanks, Denis On Tue, Dec 7, 2010 at 5:52 AM, Larry Garfield <larry@garfieldtech.com>wrote:
