xtdratings - Extended Ratings and Reviews

I managed to create a plugin for xtdratings by using the facileforms mambot, which is what xtdratings runs on. I basically trigger the mambot in the plugin and call the appropiate form. It works great!

However, if the tab is not the first one displayed, the tab window height does not expand and only a single line can be seen.

In the next post you can see what the plugin does with the Reviews tab shown first so that it works.

Any help on solving this issue would be greatly appreciated. I think the approach of using facileforms can be very practical for integrating facileforms with CB.

I also would like to know what would be the protocol for releasing this plugin.

Hey Alejo, this looks very nice and promising. Great Job!

I'm running your component(xtdratings) on my website right now and love to have it integrate with CB.

Please post your release for us to test and report back for improvement.

Anyway, thanks for your info.

Excellent!
When you are happy with its debuging we can add it to the downloads section!
Nice work!

I have released the plugin on my site. Users should change the tab settings to make sure the reviews display correctly. Either the tab goes first or the reviews should not display in a tab.

You can find the plugin here:

www.joomlaratings.com/component/option,com_docman/task,cat_view/gid,70/Itemid,54/

If you register on the site you can also see it in action.

I just wanted to show the other side of the integration with CB. In the image below you can see xtdratings in action below a Joomla article and both the avatar and the name link back to the CB profile.
