Categories on form

The Site Reviews categories were not intended to be public, but simply a way to organise your submitted reviews.

Just as you can use “assign_to” on the [site_reviews_form] to automatically assign a review to post, you can do the same with “category” to automatically assign a review to a Site Reviews category.

You can then use the “category” option on the [site_reviews] shortcode to only display reviews that have been assigned to that category (similar to “assigned_to”).

If you need to allow users to choose a category when submitting a review, this can only be done by using a custom submission form in your theme.

IMPORTANT: This method will NOT work in Site Reviews v3 which will be released in the next few weeks!

How to customise the Submission Form fields in Site Reviews version 2:

1. Create a custom form: https://github.com/geminilabs/site-reviews/wiki/Custom-Submission-Form-Field-Order

2. Once you have created the custom form, replace the hidden category field:

echo $html->renderField([
    'type'   => 'hidden',
    'name'   => 'category',
    'prefix' => false,
    'value'  => $category,
]);

With this:

// Category field
echo $html->renderField([
    'label'    => __( 'Category', 'site-reviews' ),
    'name'     => 'category',
    'options'  => ['' => __( 'Select a category', 'site-reviews' )] + $db->getTerms(),
    'prefix'   => false,
    'required' => true,
    'type'     => 'select',
    'value'    => $category,
]);

Thanks for the feedback.

I will consider having the category dropdown as an option in v3.0.

The star selections feature you have described is on the roadmap to released as an add-on. However, I cannot tell you when development will start on it as I do not know. Probably sometime after v3.0 has been released along with the Tripadvisor add-on.
