Ning Developer Network

Hi,

I’m currently using the Reviews script from scripts4ning but they cannot customize it for me so I need someone to develop a new Review section for my site. For those who are not familiar with the scripts4ning Reviews section is based on the existing NING Forum/Discussion module with some tweaks to it. If the current NING functionality can be utilized somehow without reinventing the wheel that is fine.

So I need to have the following categories displayed when person access the Reviews section:

Categories:
• Beer Bars
• Brewpubs
• Breweries
• Beer Stores
• Homebrew Shops

[need ability to expand this list easily if need be]

User should be able to search data stored in the Reviews/Directory section by following fields:

1. Name
2. By State
3. City/Town
4. Neighborhood
5. County
6. Zip Code + radius search (Google Maps)
7. Tag
8. Date range (submitted between Date1 to Date2)
9. Rating Search Criteria (using RATINGS options as defined below)

Each entry in the Review/Directory section should have the following fields:

• Name
• Address
• City, State, Zip Code
• Neighborhood
• Tag
• Phone, Fax, Email, Web
• Hours Mon-Fri
• Hours Sat
• Hours Sun
• Payment Methods (Visa, MC, Amex, Check, Cash)
• # of Taps
• # Bottles
• Casks (yes/no)
• Beer To Go (yes/no)
• Price Range ($ - cheap, $$$$ - Expensive)
• RATINGS:
1. Beer Selection Rating (scale of 1-5)
2. Atmosphere Rating (scale of 1-5)
3. Food Rating (scale of 1-5)
4. Service Rating (scale of 1-5)
5. Highest Rating (what is the highest rating given by a user)
6. Lowest Rating ((what is the lowest rating given by a user)
7. Parking/Accessiblity (scale of 1-5)
8. Overall Score/Rating
9. Calculated Score/Rating (combination of 1, 2,3, 4,7)
• Review text (this is where the actual review is entered)
• Last Review (date of last review submitted)
• Status (open/closed/temp closed)
• Preferred BV Bar? (yes/no)
• View on map

The Rating piece maybe tweaked a bit as I think about it more...

Need a price quote and time needed to develop. Prefer to deal with someone who can show me their existing work on the NING platform.

Wow! Didn't realize this was so difficult. No takers huh?

I'm really keen to do this aswell!

That's because no one can do it!

Ning has closed of all access to source code. It is now impossible at the moment to add any scripts to your ning network, aside from what scripts4ning.ning.com offers.

So NING is trying to kill off all of their developers and supporters?

There are so many other platforms available out there why then should I continue supporting NING if I can't get any custom work done?

Jake, your not alone. This is complete garbage.

im not really want to go as far with the reviews thing as you though.. i basically want to do what scripts4ning dose.. but with star ratings and a custom photo on the new topic.. thats about it... hell i'd even just accept being able to change the language settings for my second forum, so it can have its own title.. that would be awesome.. but nope.. i need access to the source code..

Any luck finding someone for this? I am also very interested in getting this functionality...

Interestingly this type (similar) of addon was promised by NING back in March after the Scripts4Ning Review script broke for some users. Today is July and there has been not a peep from NING about this. Typical.
