I have installed Drupal 6.11 with Ubercart 2.x. Now, I want to add products that I sell, but also some that I don't. That's easy. In both cases, I would like to offer up my store review of the product, which would consist of a 5-star rating (doesn't seem like fivestar does this, exactly) and filling in some fields like cost, quality, comfort, etc. Different product types will have different fields. This is not for customers to review, this is for me to review.
I'm new to Drupal, so while I'm happy to learn all the features, I could use some guidance on the best way to set this up. Do I make these fields nodes? Or attributes? Or taxonomies? Or what? I'm starting to learn all of these terms, but I'm still a newbie.
Thanks,
TJ

Looking for Reviews Solution Too
I'm working with Ubercart, and I'm looking for a solution to product reviews as well.
After searching the Net, I've found some suggestions:
1. http://www.ubercart.org/faq/4574
"A recommended combination for product reviews is Drupal's core comment module combined with the Fivestar voting module which gets a lot of use in the Drupal community."
2. Fivestar with nodeComments: http://drupal.org/node/148150 and http://drupal.org/node/234681
"An example of a situation where you might want to use the CCK fivestar field is creating a node type called 'review'. This review type would let users rate some particular node, and accompany their rating with a review. This could be combined with a standard rating on the target node, so that some users could rate the target node using the simple method, or write a complete review to accompany their rating."
"I recently created a website that allow to attach a review to a comment and to display the average of all review in the "parent" node.
All can be done using fivestar and nodecomment."
3. Fivestar with CCK/Advanced Rating: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/fivestar
4. http://www.ubercart.org/forum/ideas_and_suggestions/4551/product_reviews...
At this point, using fivestar and nodecomment appears to be the best potential suggestion. However, I have yet to see an implementation of this in action. I'm still searching for alternative ideas.
You would think that customer reviews, being as popular as they are on the Web, would have a module or plug-in for Ubercart, but I cannot find any straightforward solution.
Have you made any headway toward a viable solution? I'll report my research, implementations and results here as I go (unless I find another topic on the subject).
Any other suggestions or solutions out there guys?
Too bad this didn't get a
Too bad this didn't get a response, I'm looking for exactly the same thing. Though the review would need to be limited to only those products the customer has purchased.
It looks like every May
It looks like every May someone is interested in product reviews.
Seems weird that so much time has passed and yet no solution to adding product reviews.
heh, didn't notice that.
