Vehicle Manager Documentation

In this article we will see the interface users have for submitting reviews in

Vehicle Manager.

In the website frontend (providing you have allowed it in the configuration), users

can submit their own reviews of the vehicles in your Vehicle Manager by clicking the

Add Review button. On the vehicle details page, they are then presented with

the following form:

Title

Title for the user's vehicle review.

• Comment

The user's text for the vehicle review.

• Rating

The user's rating of the vehicle. Rating is required in order to save the review!

• CAPTCHA

The CAPTCHA will only show for Guest users. If you specified Guest users are allowed to enter reviews at all of course in [Settings Frontend]. If the user enters a wrong CAPTCHA, the review is preserved through the session cookie of the user, so the user can try again without losing the typed review. Maximum 3 tries.

See the article about Vehicle Manager CAPTCHA and session save path in the Manuals section for explanation.

When done, click [Save] to submit the review.
