Database reviews in stream should match other review apps

[chilihead]

In streams with Reviews (not ratings) enabled:

• Gallery shows who reviewed and the stars with thumbnail
• Downloads shows who reviewed and the stars with thumbnail
• Pages/Databases shows who reviewed but no stars or thumbnail

This is a discrepancy in the stream since all of the review-enabled apps show the stars/thumb except Pages, and it is important for review databases, product reviews, etc.

Can you please enable this?

Gallery:

Downloads:

Databases: (Stars and article image please)

 

Sidenote: Commerce reviews are not showing in the stream. Should they be? It is not content but it is a review (activity) so could be a setting in the store to show in stream.

Thanks!

We can build review sites with Pages but they don't post like reviews, but other apps do. Can the above be considered? Thanks

I'd consider this more of a bug and less of a feature request, since it's an inconsistent implementation that doesn't display essential information that is acknowledged as being essential by the other IPS applications. Perhaps log it?

I bother them with enough bugs figured I'd bother Lindy in here, he's been good at giving these suggestions attention.

Just discovered Product Reviews from Commerce don't appear in the stream.  I'm sure it'll come in time.  Commerce hasn't kept up with the rest of the suite, likely because it is more sensitive in nature to changes?  Either way, I think IPS knows this, and I'm eager for "the big update" to finally hit Commerce, even if it is primarily just bringing the framework in line with the rest of the applications.

Commerce packages/products can be searched in 4.3, so they will also appear in streams.

Thats excellent.  I've been preparing to upgrade to 4.x seemingly forever, since its been somewhat of a moving target, or missing features we depend on.  It may finally be time.
