Feature Details. The purpose of Rate This module is to allow customers (who have signed in)
to provide their rating/review of products offered in the store.
The module allows a customer one review on each product
they choose to rate/review. They can go back and change their
rating and review as it is controlled by their login and password.
The average customer rating is
displayed graphically with whole or half images. This graphical
display can be on the product screen, the category list
screen or both. The default images are
hearts, but the mall owner can substitute any graphics he/she wants.
Customers can also leave narrative comments about products they
wish to review.
All customers, not just those logged in, are able to view
the ratings and reviews made by other customers.
In the event that a malicious customer enters prank ratings, the
admin interface allows removal of all ratings by specific customers.
Since the module has an email alert feature (if turned on
by the store owner), you will know what ratings are being
left for your products. There is also a report generator
to list all ratings on a specific product code or all
ratings by a specific customer.
You can also display and/or delete the ratings of a
specific product from the individual product edit screen.
This version is compatible with the OpenUI Tokens and Viking
Coders product template module. Place the Rate This button
on the product page so that it better fits your desired look. You can
limit the number of reviews which appear on the product page with a "more"
link to show all. You can sort the order of the reviews within the
product edit screen so that customers see the reviews in the order you
want them seen. You can also require admin approval before
the rating/review is displayed to customers visiting your store. Admin reports can be displayed to screen, exported to flat file,
and optionally email the flat file to the store.
The admin rating reports which display the login have a hot link to the customer
login so you can quickly view who the rater is. Configure through admin, the text and tokens in both the display and prompt for
this module as they are customizable templates which can replace the default layouts. You can allow the customer to include their email,
name, or location (automatically filled in from their customer account)
along with the reviews, depending on the demographic
you choose to allow in the store. As example, a typical rating might be Reviewer: John in Anglikon, Switzerland 05/14/2001
