What approach to take in order to build place reviews website?
Permalink
Hi. I want to develop a simple website, where users can easily add reviews for various places located on a map. The basic entity would be a 'Place', which will be represented in a database.
Places should be accessible from a list, some sorting and filtering will be in place later.
I'm stuck now with the concrete5. It confuses me a bit. How can I achieve such a functionality? Writing PHP code is not an issue here.

also, I would look into ScottC's page mapper addon(http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/page-mapper/)
. that could fit in there as well.

Thank's for the plug Chad. You have a typo in your screenshot, "Celler" should be "Cellar" unless it is some funky branding thing they're going after.
Looks like a neat addon and should tie in well with your church cms.

I hate chu.
THIS is why I code, and not design! ha ha
Actually, I didn't do that..the designer did. FAIL!

I just am wrapping up a site that does this.
It uses the reviews block..but I had to modify it in order to have the ratings be pushed to the page object as well as the block. this way, I could create a custom page_list block, and be able to sort/filter by rating/reviews.
I also included a custom address attribute that includes geodata. The issue here, is that the page list does not offer any method that would allow you to hook into in order to query the trigonomic function to calc the distance on address entry in order to sort by closest address. So, a better route I think would be the dealer locator package.
I also created a custom "favorites" block/attribute system that tracks registered users favorite pages/sites, and then a single page to display them. I will be adding this particular product to the marketplace soon.
