Can't find a theme..

Hey i'm looking for a website theme for any CMS (content management system) be it wordpress or whatever that will let users register and rate products by being able to post a message and select a rating whether it be stars or percent but also let the site administrator link to where the reviewed item can be bought.

Most of the themes i'm coming across are review only or shopping. Or let you review and 'add to cart'. Problem is I don't plan on selling anything - I plan just to link to affiliates.

Hope this makes sense.
Any help much appreciated.

    What are you trying to do? It sounds, and I repeat, sounds like you're trying to build a "square wheel"...if you know what I'm saying.

      I think what you're looking for is a combination of a theme + plugins. I don't know of just one or the other that could do what you're looking for.

      So you could maybe use that theme that jlongoria is referring to...InReview and a plugin like SEO Smart Links - Premium WordPress SEO Plugin to create the affiliate links.

        Not really following.

        In simple terms: I'm looking to create a review site which lets users review products the admin posts. But also allows the admin to supply links to where the product can be bought.

        You're probably right, still struggling to find relevant plugins though.

    There is a theme called InReview by ElegantThemes that allows users to rate. So you have the editors rating and the users rating.

      I like the theme.

      But i'm looking for a theme that only allows for user ratings and the not an editor rating. So that it's more 'community driven' so to speak. So the editor will post a product with a short description and users will rate on a series of things. Value, Effectivness, ect.

        You can actually customize the theme. If you browse the support forum in elegant themes, you can find an easy fix that fits your needs.

        I just went through a similar search as you. It took me a while to find a theme, i liked a lot i saw on themeforest.com, just search for "review". I ended up finding a nice one yesterday and my site is already up, check my signature for link its an amazon affiliate review site.

        You can just find a nice magazine theme and then add a star rating plug in and an amazon plug in.

    Are you wanting also to sell these products, because if you are a few of the shopping cart plugins allow you to rate and comment on products.

    One such plugin is WP E-Commerce...

        Wrong wording... YOU are the affiliate. And you will link to vendors whose affiliate you are. :rolleyes:

        The first step for getting the right answer is to know how to ask the right question.

      Not sure if that allows the user to rate on multiple aspects of one product.

      For example:

      Taste 5/5
      Texture 3/5
      Cost 2/5

    For example these themes. Most of them have awesome rating systems, but the prices are around $50 per one domain.
