Helpful Voting, Sorting & Filtering
Helpful Voting
When enabled in Settings > General > Helpful Voting, each review card shows a thumbs-up button with a count. Visitors can click it to mark a review as helpful via AJAX.
- Logged-in users are tracked by user ID; guests by IP hash.
- Each visitor can only vote once per review. Duplicate votes are rejected.
- The count updates instantly without a page reload.
Sorting
When enabled in Settings > General > Sort & Filter, a sort dropdown appears above the review list with options:
- Newest First (default)
- Oldest First
- Highest Rated
- Lowest Rated
- Most Helpful (only shown if helpful voting is also enabled)
Star Filtering
Alongside the sort dropdown, star filter buttons let visitors show only reviews with a specific star rating. An “All” button resets the filter. Reviews are filtered client-side using data-rating attributes on each review card.
Review Layouts
The Review Layout setting in the General tab lets you choose between List (default), Compact, or Grid views. The layout applies a CSS class (idver-layout-list, idver-layout-compact, or idver-layout-grid) to the review list container.
