Hello,
I am a relative newcomer to silverstripe and more of a designer than a developer.
Just requesting advice on the best way to set up a flexible review or testimonials system in silverstripe. It is not needed for the review system to be 'live' with user generated content, the reviews will be added by the content editor in the CMS.
The idea is as follows - I am building a travel site which at the root level has holder pages containing listings of available trips and under that detail pages for each trip. The functionality I need to get working is:
- Attach reviews to detail pages (currently I have set up page variables)
- Display those reviews in a reviews section on the parent detail page (so far so easy)
- Display selected reviews on other pages where required
The basic structure of the site is as follows if that helps
ROOT
|-- HOLDER PAGE (listing all child pages)
__| TRIP DETAIL PAGE 1
____| REVIEW 1.1 (set up as a page variable)
____| REVIEW 1.2 (set up as a page variable)
__|TRIP DETAIL PAGE 2
____| REVIEW 2.1 (set up as a page variable)
____| [*REVIEW 1.2]
__|TRIP DETAIL PAGE 3
____| REVIEW 3.1 (set up as a page variable)
____| [*REVIEW 1.2]
Please let me know how you would approach this and in particular how you would best set up the reviews to be available to pages other than the variables own page where required. Please advise if there are any modules that might help as I am not a developer.
Thanks
