Suggestion: Make user profiles linkable in the review section

Post by TheSaint » Sun Mar 05, 2006 11:16 pm

Here's a little suggestion that might be helpful for some users:

How about making the username text linkable to a Community Builder profile or something similar?

Sample: http://extensions.joomla.org/component/ ... ,35/#rev-8

Once clicked it would show reviews by that user in addition to extensions they've released (already available). 'Reviews by this member' would be very handy for users who have similar websites/interests. For instance, let's say I run a webstore. If I see that someone else has reviewed a specific webstore extension, there is a good chance they may have reviewed similar software that is very likely to be of interest to me as well. While this isn't crucial, it may help members save time installing multiple extentions instead of making up their minds prior to downloading left and right. Thanks once again for the EForge or whatever we're going to call it now! :D

Thanks for the über-quick reply. The navigation is fairly straightforward already by selecting the categories to the left, but you can never make it 'too easy' to the greenhorns. We must convert those Frontpage and Dreamweaver holdouts! Thanks Brad. :D

That sounds really technical. I propose calling it 'The Download Pit' or 'The File Pantry".
