Dear All,

I am currently working on code to extend the functionality of the 
foundation demo.

It's all about 'Rate this.. / Review this... / Recommend this...' type of code.

Some features for 'Rate this...' are finalized, others to be added soon.

Please have a look at: http://www.verhagen.net/cgi-bin/tools
Choose a product and view the product page. At the bottom you will find the
rating (if any) and a link to a rating form.

In de demo there are currently two 'types' of products (general and brushes).
Each type of product has it's own set of questions (for type=brushes see
products in Hand Tools-->Brushes and Painting Supplies-->Paint Brushes.
For type=general all other products).

Functionality implemented:
- variable number of rating groups (in demo only 'general' and 'brushes')
- variable number of questions per rating group
- rating values fully configurable in mv_meta_data or rating table
- questions have a weight factor (for calculating a weighted average)

Functionality to be added:
- Component for: Most popular products (site-wide/per category)
- Allow to rate: logged-in-only, anonymous-too
- Comment field for product users' review
- Your idea...

Looking forward to your comments/ideas. :-)


Best
         Ton
