How to automate moderated review tweeting for JReviews

How to automate moderated review tweeting for JReviews

JReviews has a very cool feature that allows the automatic publication of reviews to twitter. If you have unmoderated reviews, you can enter you twitter information, bit.ly information and check the publish to twitter box.  Then when a user leaves a new review the review with bit.ly link is automatically added to your twitter account.  Pretty Cool and Helpful.

I have moderated reviews so this feature does not work for me.  I have to have moderated reviews due to high amounts of spam reviews.  Luckily the solution to my problem has already been found. No coding needed, just configuring a few settings.

How to add hReview Aggregate formatting to JReviews

How to add hReview Aggregate formatting to JReviews

Google is adding rich snippets to their search listings.  So far I have only seen the stars added for the big sites (Yelp, Cnet) but maybe we will start to see smaller sites get listed with stars. Even if we do not other applications may be able to pick up and use your review formatting.

Rich Snippets, jReviews and Google

Rich Snippets, jReviews and Google

In May of 2009, Google announced the inclusion of Rich Shippets in their result pages.  You may have seen stars displaying in the Google search results, these stars are due to the addition of microformatting code to the page.

Since learning about this cool new feature I (along with several others in the jReview forums) have been adding this code to our review sites.

jReviews and sh404SEF Configuration

jReviews and sh404SEF Configuration

It is my opinion that jReviews is the best review extension and sh404SEF is the best SEF component.  However they do not always work the best together.  This article describes how I make the best of both worlds. 

Note: This article is for jReviews 1.X, Joomla 1.0.
