Reviews - Updated [Support Thread]

This is the support thread for the (just submitted) Reviews - Updated plugin. This plugin provides updates to the standard Zen Cart processing of reviews for your products:
* Reviews can be written by guests, controlled by an admin configuration value.
* For customer privacy, reviews written by logged-in customers include only their first name and the first letter of their last name (e.g. John Smith becomes John S.).
* Upon successful review submission, a message is displayed to the customer indicating that their review has been received.
* If the customer is required to sign in (or register) prior to writing a review, a message indicating as such is displayed on redirect to the login page.

There are core-file overwrites and SQL database changes associated with this plugin.

I have tested this for v1.5.0 only (although it should work on v1.3.9 as well).

Once it's posted to the Plugins area, it will be available here: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1442.

Thanks ..Will just have to wait for it to be released

This is now available in the Plugins area: http://www.zen-cart.com/downloads.php?do=file&id=1442

Only thing is the name if you submit less than 5 letter it fails

Your Name needs to have at least 5 characters.

I've added text in the English

Thanks for a great add-on

There's an admin configuration switch that controls the minimum length of the guest reviewer's name:

Configuration->Minimum Values->Product Review Write - Guest Reviewer Name

The default value is 5.

On another topic, I was informed by swguy that if you run the SQL install patches using your admin's Tools->Install SQL Patches that the tool "takes care of" the database prefix settings in your configuration. In other words, you can use the SQL patches provided in the plugin as-is even if you use a database prefix (DB_PREFIX in your configure.php files is set to something other than ''). I'll update the readme file to reflect this in a subsequent release.

:blush: oops you are correct..never thought of the most simplest of things
thank you again

Could admin reply the review? or once a review posted, send an email to admin?

Your admin could reply to the review by writing a new review on the product and entering Store Owner in the "Your Name" field.

There are configuration values in your admin's Configuration->E-mail Options that will enable sending an email when a review is posted:

Send Notice of Pending Reviews Emails To - Status: Enables (1) or disables (0) the sending of the email to the list specified by ...
Send Notice of Pending Reviews Emails To: A list of email addresses to receive the notice of a pending/posted review
