The module looks great and I would love to see it on my 6.x website. I can understand panels has not released its 6.x versoin but still can you go ahead and release its 6.x version as I desperately need this module.

Hi, I appreciate your comment. My team and I are currently setting up a new drupal 6 environment to be able to properly release in Drupal 6 this and 3 other modules that we have. However, being myslef very busy on plenty other things than coding, I will get back to you as soon as I can. Let me know about your roadmap so that I will get an idea of the emergency.

Would you be ready to sponsor this kind of development?

Regards,

Striky, unfortunately I am working on a personal project (though I do have some really big plans with it) so I won't be able to sponsor it but can surely chip in some money :) I can wait for couple of weeks though

Will religiously this project and its status from now on :)

Best wishes to your team

by the way 3 questions -

1. Should I move to 5.x instead of looking to build a site on 6.x ?

2. http://bilib.net/ is using drupal 5.x, right ? its a Great site :)

3. I think I can use this review module as a Q/A too ? so if the node is /Tiger_Woods than people can ask questions related to him. Ofcourse by design, each questions will have a different url but I just want to show all the questions asked on page /Tiger_Woods below the node /Tiger_Woods and simiarly for other nodes. Its just like reviews, but instead of reviews, there will be questions.

1. usually depends on your own roadmap. Would say no, starts with 6.x, and "not at all", really use 6.x starting one month from now. You might use the beta CCK to start with. Let's say if your product is going to be out in like 4 months, this will be just perfect. You start with beta, you end with stable releases.

2. thx for the feedback, yes our site is using D5, the project to move to D6 just started actually.

3. I do get what your Q/A system is. Basically I would say it's one of the possible tools you can use. Just to be clear, for now on, custom reviews just allow one review (actually, one review in each reviewer_types allowed) by person by node. Let's imagine you have 3 CCK types:

  • CCK_1: the node type being questionned
  • CCK_2: the abstract node type containing the question for CCK_1 (you can also imagine builiding a CCK_2_a question type for a CCK_1_a node type, and a CCK_2_b question type for another CCK_1_b node type, or you can also affect CCK_2_a & CCK_2_b as two different question types your user would use for questionning let's say CCK_1_a)
  • CCK_3: same thing with the answer node_type

(I'm speaking about CCK, but actually, it has nothing to do with CCK, this can just be simple node types. But seing CCK as a node_objects factory, then you use is as a constructor for the node_types I'm speaking about).

So, this is what custom_review might do for you. On each node, it will provide you somes specific views on Questions & Answers, views you can override. (I've been asked to do a simple block, but I had no time to do so for now on...)

As adding a question or an answer, you still be able to see and to go back to the node you were referring to. At the end of the process, you will go back to the node you were referring to, and not to the node (Q or A) you just created.

that's pretty much it :)
