Joomla · Module · Version 1.0.1
Show customer reviews beautifully on your Joomla site. Entered manually or optionally from Google.
DLS Reviews shows reviews as a highlighted quote, carousel, grid or compact badge with the average. Without an API key the module makes no connection to Google; with Google, only your server fetches the data and visitors load nothing from Google.
What you can configure
- Four layouts: highlight, carousel, grid or badge only; the badge with average and count can be added above.
- Enter reviews manually or optionally add them via the Google Places API (New), with caching and error logging.
- Filter by stars, order, maximum number and hide individual Google reviews.
- Configure colours, fonts, corner radius, spacing, heading and shortening with “Read more”.
- Accessible: stars with text alternative, keyboard carousel, no autoplay, respects reduced motion.
- German and English backend; Joomla updates with a download key.
Installation
Install the ZIP under System → Install → Extensions. In Content → Site Modules, create a DLS Reviews module, choose the source, enter reviews or connect Google and pick a layout. Select a position, language and menu assignment, then publish.
Before you start
Targets Joomla 5.x and 6.x; checked on Joomla 5 (PHP 8.2) and Joomla 6 (PHP 8.3). Through the API, Google returns at most 5 reviews; this requires your own Google Cloud key with billing and compliance with Google terms. Without Google the module works fully with manual reviews.
