I am working on a recipe site for my wife and have tested a few review modules. I really like how userreview has an actual review field which associates an individual review score with the comments and has an overall score (other systems, like nodevote, just have a score; thus comments have no score associated with them).

The only downsides I have found:

1) The score is not listed with the teaser. When browsing something like products or recipes having the score present with the teaser is a big plus.

2) The block is collapsed by default.

Anyhow, great contribution!

I just committed to CVS version (not 4.7 version) configurable placing user review lists inside a collapsible fieldset or not, and whether this fieldset should be collapsed or not. Seems to work. Also added ability to configure whether average vote should show up in teaser or not. The latter looks clunky to me. Please advise how all works and suggestion how average vote in teaser should appear.

Note I am adding this HTML element to its own field
$node->userreview->average_vote;
should you wish to build your own teaser inside your node.tpl.php theme file. Thus you could make the average vote appear first or wherever within the teaser content.

Thanks dado. All my sites are 4.7 right now but I do appreciate the effort :) I look forward to the 4.7 version when you have the time.

I made the change to the CVS version of userreview module. This version is for Drupal 4.7, and is identical to the 4.7 version of userreview module, except that I added these features. So i encourage you to download and try the CVS version of userreview module, and please report back how it is working.

dado,

So far so good. You can see a sample of how we are using the review module here: http://www.tammysrecipes.com/homemade_bologna

The last non-layout/graphical tweak I am looking to do is have the "Review this node" option opened, and not collapsed, on pages by default. I want to encourage users to review items :)

Anyhow, excellent module and the changes you made seem to be working well. Thanks!

I will make this configurable soon, possibly Monday.

I am using the new update where you can keep the colapsable review open by default and it is working great so far :)

Thanks for adding this feature! We are getting a lot of use out of it and it has been working like a champ.
