If not displayed any articles that mean nothig was return to module, so maybe some settings of module is not correct.

Hello Konstantin,

Well that`s strange because I do have reviews posted so I dont see why it should not sow anything, the module settings from my checks seams to be fine

Not you have to indicate section of reviews not of the type that you review.

Yes. When you use API you get array with ['html']. But there is also 1-100 ['total']. So you can scale it to 5 or 10 star equivalent and display.

I found a solution for the stars which is pretty good I think now if you can help me with the code for:

  1. Display the corresponding article title for which the comment/review was made
  2. Display that article title as a link ponting to the article comments

So what I want to display is a list with latest 5 reviews/comments which shows:

Article title linked - for which that comments/review was made - rating with stars ( already found with what to display the stars ) - name of the reviewer/commenter - short intro of that comment text

  1. Create a special list template for reviews section for module.
  2. In that template use this to display parent aricle title
<?php $record = ItemsStore::getRecord($item->parent_id);?>
Review for: <a href="/<?php echo JRoute::_(Url::record($record)); ?>"><?php echo $record->title; ?></a>
