Now you should be able to boot up your server with:

bundle exec rails s

That's all!


Usage

Action "submit" in "reviews" controller - goes to review entry form

Three partials:

  • app/views/spree/products/_rating.html.erb -- display number of stars
  • app/views/spree/products/_shortrating.html.erb -- shorter version of above
  • app/views/spree/products/_review.html.erb -- display a single review

Administrator can edit and/or approve and/or delete reviews.

Discussion

Some points which might need modification in future:

  • I don't track the actual user on a review (just their "screen name" at the time), but we may want to use this information to avoid duplicate reviews etc. See spree-contrib/spree_reviews#18
  • Rating votes are tied to a review, to avoid spam. However: ratings are accepted whether or not the review is accepted. Perhaps they should only be counted when the review is approved.
