RapidLauncher
Getting started with JReviews is a breeze!
Included with every license, the RapidLauncher Add-on provides one-click installation of sample data.
Forms
Extend listing and review forms with custom fields.
Start off with standard forms containing the basic fields for listings and reviews and extend them with custom fields. There are many types of fields to choose from including non-standard inputs like Related Listings to connect listings with one another. It is also possible to control user access settings and to customize the rendered output of each field.
Through the use of Listing Types, you can design multiple listing and review forms so they are tailored to each of your categories. For example if you have Venues and Events listing types each one can have different forms that collect different information.
Listings
Empower site visitors with favorites, claims, enquiries and comparison.
Let your vistors make the most of your site with these great features. They'll be able to create their favorite list, claim listing ownership so they can manage their own listing, submit an enquiry to a listing owner and easily compare multiple listings on the site.
It's very easy to submit listings on the front-end of the site so you can allow site members or even guests so contribute new content. With fine-grained access controls you choose which listings are automatically published and which go into moderation.
Editor & User Reviews
Define unlimited rating criteria and choose your rating scale.
Build your site just the way you want with the ability to define different sets of rating criteria for each of your listing types. You can establish the rating scale that will be used on the site and also assign different weights to each rating criteria.
Top rated lists take into account both the average rating and the number of reviews a listing has received for more accurate results. Listings can also be ordered by rating for each individual rating criteria. So for example, your site visitors would be able to find top rated restaurants based on the quality of food alone, instead of only by average of food, atmosphere, service and pricing. Your site visitors will be able to vote on reviews and use the review search functionality to find reviews that match their keywords.
Editor reviews allows you to give your business or trusted users the ability to post reviews that are shown, and averaged, separately from the user reviews.
Media
Include videos, photos, audio and attachments in listings and reviews.
Listings and Reviews can have any type of media associated with them. Each media type is automatically recognized and videos and audio files are automatically converted to HTML5 compatible formats so they play in all browsers. You can import media files directly from other sites and automatically embed videos from the most popular video sharing sites.
Choose from multiple layouts and display options for videos and photos and you can even have different settings for each of your listing types. For example you can display a photo gallery in the detail page for Hotels and use a film-strip layout for Movie listings.
Search
Let users find exactly what they need.
Create custom Advanced Search Modules to let users quickly find what they are looking for, including the ability to search listings by rating. You can design multiple forms with different inputs or let users use the default Advanced Search page where they can search listings by listing type, category and the defined search fields.
The Live Search feature improves the user experience by loading results in real time as the user types in keywords or makes selection from the Advanced Search Module.
When combined with the GeoMaps Add-on the Advanced Search Module is also capable of performing proximity searches using postal codes, partial or complete addresses.
Social
Give your site a social side with seamless JomSocial and EasySocial integration.
All user actions appear in the EasySocial and JomSocial activity streams to enrich your community. New listings, media, reviews and review discussions can be posted to the stream in addition to favorites and votes on reviews and media.
The EasySocial and JomSocial user avatar and name is also shown on user contributed content linked to their profile. Three Community plugins are available to display a user's listings, reviews and favorites in the user's profile page.
SEO
We've got you covered with Structured Data for listings and reviews.
We implement Schema.org, Facebook Open Graph and Twitter Cards.
Review and Breadcrumbs structured data markup is output by default to increase the probability that you'll get nicer results in SERPs.
It is also possible to configure each of the site Listing Types with different Schema.org and Facebook Open Graph object types.

Fantastic Product with Support to Match
J Reviews has proved to be a very good product for use on our website and it has enabled us to become unique in the World of Golf Course Reviews. The support provided by Alejandro and his team is quick and informative and we have yet to come up with an issue he has been unable to resolve.

Great directory software and fantastic support
I have been using this for two business directories and the features are the best. My support tickets were handled promptly and the support was first class. Well worth the fee!

Help when we needed help!
As OJT (on the job training) tech support, I was introduced to Joomla 1.5 and JReviews after having worked on a Drupal platform for our website. I found JReviews to be the easier part to grasp from the get go. It's going on 8 years of working on the site, two attempts have been made to upgrade to a higher level of Joomla, but the scope of the job and the fact that the chosen template wasn't available on Joomla 2.5 left us in the dust. Technology is moving on, the hosting platform warned of the need to upgrade to CENTOS7, an upgrade of PHP, etc., etc. and after a significant hack of our website, I was left scrambling and dependent on the experience of our hosting support and on JReviews support. Our JReviews support has been the best, my questions answered and, Alejandro even helped fix some issues still remaining after our hosting site backed up the PHP to 5.3. We are looking at a new website (keeping our website) for the time being on WordPress and have already purchased both JReviews for WordPress and the iReview theme as well. I am very grateful that the owner of our website, knowing how well JReviews worked for us on Joomla, agreed to move forward with JReviews on his new WordPress based project. Thanks to JReviews support for many jobs (support tickets) well done!!!
-- Jackie Awtry, Tech Support
Amazing Component
Since I bought JReviews I year ago it has not let me down. It is very flexible, easy to customise and very functional. The administrator side of the component provides a lot of options and works fairly easy due to ajax integration.
-- Thomas Theunen, Owner, MiniTech
Support is also great, you usually have your response within the day and bugs are squashed fairly quickly.
I recommend this component to everyone who wants to add extra review functionality to their website and wants to improve the look of their content. You will not regret buying this component.
