Leave Product Review without Login in?

[rlexyd]

Hi,
Is there a way to allow people to leave a Review without having to login in?
I would love it if there was a way for several reasons!
Thanking you in advance for your help.

Product Reviews Require Approval (Change accordingly).

Be aware that you open yourself up to e-mail spamming and abuse if you allow this. If this happens, you may find your IP address being blacklisted! Then you'll have big problems.

Hi Schoolboy,
Thank you for that

However, I still want to approve them before they show on the site as that is a must, But I just want people to be able to leave a review without having to login.

I understand your point about spam but that is why I would like to approve them first.

Thank you once again.

Hi,

Did you find a way around this? So that people can leave a product review without logging in? I have a quick checkout set up so customers can buy items without registering so I would be good if I could capture the product reviews for these people in the same way.

Thank you

Hi, I would also like to do this.

I've ju required approval, but for write reviews, zencart ask to login. To avoid login, but only approval reviews by admin?

What worked for me was:

includes/modules/pages/product_reviews_write/header_php.php

around line 19 comment out

if (!$_SESSION['customer_id']) {
  $_SESSION['navigation']->set_snapshot();
  zen_redirect(zen_href_link(FILENAME_LOGIN, '', 'SSL'));
} 

However, the text formatting and layout of the subsequent review pages is all over the place and I'm not sure if the above has contributed to this. I would be interested to hear if anyone else has this formatting issue.
