Default random reviews on home page

Has anyone come up with or sells a mod that shows random product reviews on the home page??

an example of what I mean can be seen at (not x-cart) http://www.advancedmp3players.co.uk/shop/

right hand side near the bottom, it shows you first few lines of the review with a thumbnail image along with it's star rating.

thats exactly what i wanted so i'll be in touch about it, one thing i did notice is that because the link you gave went to the html catalog of your site it doesnt make the review random, it was only when i went to the .php part of your site that it kicked in.

I was affraid of that but if you go browse around in the HTML catalog you will notice that YES it does changes in the HTML pages too. NOt as often as the dynamemic part but it does.

Just keep in mind that the HTML is gear to the Search engines and the minute a custumer log-in it will move them to the dynamic part of the store.

I hope this will help you.

Kind regards,
Ricky.

Perfect, I do have one question, on your customer testimonials if you click on it , it show you all the reviews available for your products, is that part of the same mod or is that a seperate one?

Oh and another question was it easy to install the mod yourself or did the developer do it for you?

The customer testimonial is not part of it.

and is very easy to install.

Well its been bought and i've just installed it fine, i've had to send an email to the developer asking about the optional thumbnail size and the option to not show low rated votes as there is no instructions on that in the word doc that comes with the zip file.

So was the full page customer reviews another mod then? or was that one of your own changes (if mod can you point me to somewhere i cna purchase it)
