There isn't. The whole point of the module is to make it fully automated, so it doesn't have an admin page for you to hand-pick the recipients. If someone places an order and the order qualifies for a review (status and days), an email is sent asking for a review. That's it, end of story.
This sounds great! I like the idea of a page with multiple items to review on it. I have a modified template and recently for some reason it no longer lets customers review as there must be something blocking it. I was wondering if there was a way with this module to manually access an url to view the layout for testing purposes? E.g from a test account to view how it looks. I tried accessing by putting 'order_review' at the end of website url but it navigates to website home page, so I guess it just works via cron and session id.
No, you can't access the order_review page directly. If you could, that would mean anyone could access it without authorization. The plugin generates a unique 32 character token which is basically a key to access that page. The token is generated at the time of placing the order and is stored in order_review database table. What you could do is place a test order, then use phpMyAdmin and go to order_review table and copy the token associated with your order ID, and then access the review page like YOU_DOMAIN/index.php?main_page=order_review&token=YOUR_TOKEN
Keep in mind that won't change the "notified" column so you'd still receive an automated email when/if your order qualifies, and of course, if you've configured your cron job.
Thanks for your reply. Yes I thought perhaps it is that way, but appreciate the heads up regarding the token for test purposes. I might try that.
I am not sure if the present issue with my stock zencart review page may be the same with your module. I have some modules and CSS Loader you see. Apparently it has something to do with the following:-
"error: "Missing the ajax controller”" when pressing write_review_submit button.
But I can give your module a go and see how it goes, thanks again :-)
Hi Leonard,
Great plugin mate - love the way you think beyond the square!! So I can see that in defines the wording of the email can be customised which is great, I assume %s in the text inserts the shop name from configuration/MyStore - I also assume the email header image is the site logo image at includes/templates/my_template/images/logo ?
Doing this manually up till now meant putting a sold out item back into stock as zero qty to allow a review to be written (reviews cannot be written if item is out of stock - an issue when you have a lot of one off unique items) - in the case of this plugin if the item has subsequently become sold out can a review still be left?
cheers,
Mike

Hi Leonard, me again! - so pardon my ignorance but what does this setting in admin/configuration mean?
'Order Status - Comma-separated list of Order Status IDs required to send the reminder.' .... are these the payment processing, payment confirmation, shipping confirmation etc - is there a need to change setting from 3 to anything different?
cheers, Mike
