[Plugin: WP Customer Reviews] Compatibility with WP-ecommerce

We are taking a -little- break before the next release, to give everybody time to actually upgrade to the latest version and make sure it is solid. I’ll be doing some more digging on thr WP-ecommerce issue and also on creating options for the form to show/hide on load, etc.

If you are not on the latest version, I urge you to try it out and see if that fixes any issue with WP-ecommerce and most of it has been rewritten since the 1.2.3 comment.

Hi elronino,

If your still interested in this, I would hold tight for the new release of WPEC.

I am using the 3.8 RC4.

The difference is the new version uses custom post types and runs off a lot more of the work done by wordpress. This means I have been able to pretty easily add the wp customer review to my wpec products.

If you look at line 104 of the admin.js in the customer reviews plugin and copy the second line and paste it below, then look for the word “post” and change it to “wpsc-product” hit save, update, and go to add a new product and voila,I am pretty sure thats all there is too it.

I think a great addition to customer reviews would be an option on the dash which looks to see if you have any custom post types setup and if so displays them with a check box so you can add support to them from the admin. Shoulnt be too tricky.

I have also hacked wpec to take thesis custom meta, and scribe SEO. ?? Good luck.

One point I have to add to this, is that while the above adds support, it doesnt automatically output the review on your page or post if your using a custom template, which WPEC of course does.

Does this plugin provide a template tag we can use like

<?php echo wp_customer_reviews_tag ?>

To hook it into a custom template?

Thanks, I look forward to your reply, if the above is not yet configured, what part should I copy and paste to my custom template? Love the plugin and I am preparing to blog about it on a pretty big authority site, but having that covered would really help in making it an awesome article.

I don’t know all the technical aspects like one3rdnerd, but as far as I can tell, there’s no way for customers to leave reviews on items in WP-eCommerce. If your plugin could allow reviews on individual product pages, and perhaps even plugin to WPEC enough to verify their email against purchases, you could tap in to the entire WPEC community. In fact the Instinct guys would probably let you sell your plugin on their site as a premium WPEC plugin (perhaps you’d keep this main version free, but the one that plugs into WPEC individual products would be a premium plugin on their site).

I know this is something I would really like to have.

I have major problems with the plugin on ecommerce site, not that I use the review on a selling page. There are major problems withconnection to database, it suggests adding new user name to database but this does not correct the problem.
