Hello there,

And thank you for this wonderful community.

I was wondering if anybody had established something like a "eBay feedback" style module -- that somehow linked into the e-commerce module -- where after people make a purchase/transaction, feedback can be given to the "buyer" and the "seller"?

I am thinking about trying to incorporate something like this for my web site.

(I am creating an online self-help group -- where the members of the self-help group are actually allowed to donate services to and receive services from each other -- for example, peer counseling-type services.)

I was thinking that the VOTING API -- might be a good thing to use, possibly in conjunction with, the new VOTING ACTIONS module -- but I am using 4.6 and was not sure whether or not the VOTING ACTIONS module (and the actions.module) was compatible with 4.6.

Any thoughts?

Thx!

Voting Actions isn't compatable with 4.6. The underlying logic for it is, but all the screens to maintain the action criteria etc are built using 4.7's forms api. It could be backported, but there are a number of other things I'm juggling at the moment. You probably wouldn't need voting_actions for what you're doing, though.

If all you want to do is rate a specific transaction, VotingAPI should still be able to serve as your backend. To figure out what a given seller's total rating is, you'd need to check for all the transactions they participated in, then look for the votes on all of those transactions and average the ratings. I haven't thought through all of the details, but it could certainly work with a bit of custom code.

Thanks for the thoughts, Eaton! And your quick reply...

And I realize, of course, that you've got a lot of other things happening :-).

Well, I'm quite the novice when it comes to programming here, but if no one else has tried to custom code the transaction-feedback system, I may give it a go.
(Did I just say that? I must be crazy :-) )

Thanks again for all your work.

If you're looking at hacking with the VotingAPI module, you might check out the simplevote module. It's very stripped down but it's an example of how to interact with the VotingAPI at a basic level.
