EffectIO Directorist - Advanced Review 1.0.2

Description:

Directorist Advanced Review is an extension for the Directorist directory plugin that upgrades simple star ratings into detailed, criteria-based reviews. It is aimed at directory owners who want visitors to share in-depth feedback and make confident decisions based on authentic, transparent reviews rather than basic scores alone.

The extension lets you define up to 5 review criteria for each directory, so ratings stay relevant to the business category. A restaurant directory can use criteria like taste and ambience, while a hotel directory may focus on room service and cleanliness. Alongside custom criteria, users can leave text feedback, and average scores are calculated across all criteria. A Helpful and Not Helpful voting system lets visitors vote on reviews, highlighting genuine, well-written feedback while pushing biased, malicious, or illogical reviews to the background. Smart sorting and filtering lets visitors sort reviews by newest, oldest, highest, or lowest ratings, or filter by specific rating, so they can find feedback matching their priorities. A guest review option allows visitors to post reviews without logging in, and users can flag inappropriate or suspicious reviews to help maintain credibility.

The extension is easy to use and fully integrated with Directorist, turning reviews into a decision-making tool that helps businesses build credibility and users make informed choices.
