    'Rotten Tomatoes' functionality

    Posted 17 years 6 months ago
    • Hey everyone,

      I am building a Joomla site for a friend of mine who is part of a Film Critics Association. He has requested as a feature the ability for different film critics to be able to login to the site and post a short snippet about a film and a link to their official review page. These small excerpts would all appear on the film's page and probably need a custom CSS style. He has pointed me toward RottenTomatoes.com as an example. ( example for Finding Nemo )

      Does anyone know of a way that I could integrate this functionality with a plugin/module that is already available or do you think that I need to have custom code written?

    • You could either go with the Jreviews component, or a comment extension like Azrul's Jomcomment. Either way, you'd have to hack them pretty severely if you wanted that specific look.

    • Thanks a lot for that, I hadn't seen JReviews before. It looks like it will do something approximating what I need and perhaps a little bit more if I want to extend it. That's really a good find.

      Now I just have to wait for it to be released for J1.5.

      Thanks for your help.

      JReview will not be developed for J1.5 due to license change.

    • Hmmm...I did notice that they encrypt their source. That's really a shame. I guess the best that I can hope for is that if JReviews abandons the Joomla 1.5 market, then another developer decides to fill the gap with something similar for 1.5.

      *Hint for RocketWerx - here's an opportunity. ;)
