I'm sort-of one of the vBulletin developers, but I'm writing this as an individual. You'll see my name on the admincp credits page. I'm mostly retired but still do a little work on the Cloud back end. Internet Brands and vBulletin have nothing to do with what I'm writing here. So whether you like what I say or do on this issue, please leave them out of it.
I have a little spare time and since vBulletin 4 days I've been interesting in adding content types to the product as a third party. I've been working on a review content type. It's a normal post but the author can add a rating, which I currently have set up as 0-10. This would be a product and added through the normal plugin system. Note that there are a few small changes to core code, which will have to work their way through the release cycle. I think I have most of them, but not all, so this will not be a usable for a 2-3 months at the most optimistic.
I am interested in the community's opinion on this. If nobody would use it I won't spend any more time on it. If it would be useful, I would like one or two people willing to look at what I'm doing and suggest improvements.
Thanks for any input.
