Sale Confirmation Email With Add Review Link?

[bear1728]

hi linda, it really woks perfectly, i wonder if i could get this :
if the customer hasn't written a review on the product, display "write a review button A" with the link.
if the customer has already written a review on the product, display "write a review button B" and disable the link on the button.
any ideas?

ps: i mean if customer has written one review by clicking this button next to this product

You could build into the template an IF to check if the customer has written a review on the product and change the button based on the results ...

The reviews table contains a field for both:
products_id
customers_id

that can be used for this test ...

thanks guys i havent visited this forum in a while, however i will try some of these tips in the new year... I am finding that people are not adding a review to the site but we do receive lots of feedback by general email.

You can customize your templates and overrides any way you want ...

You would want to add something like:

<?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_WRITE, zen_get_all_get_params(array()) . '&products_id=' . $order->products[$i]['id']) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_WRITE_REVIEW, BUTTON_WRITE_REVIEW_ALT) . '</a>'; ?>

Hello Ajeh,
I'm trying this piece of code on the accounts page (tpl_account_default.php) added to my overide template. This page shows the orders placed by a customer and seems the ideal place for this button.

The review button link displays but it does not retrieve the product id correctly and I get "Sorry, the product was not found."

I have a limited understanding of php so I'm unable to properly decipher the code to see what is going wrong.

Pretty Please can you or anybody help...

The code needs a products_id and the tpl_account_default does not have any products_id ...

What exactly are you trying to do ... do you want this link on an Order that the customer has made when viewing the account_history_info on each of the Products?

Hi Ajeh,
This is not quite what I am after if I understand you correctly, I don't want the link on the account_history_info pages for the products, rather I want it to appear on the account page, where a customer's previous orders are listed.

I have created a new "Review" heading which I have added after the "View" heading (so it looks like this: "Date"..."No"..."Ship To"..."Status"..."Total"..."View"..."Reviews"), and the "write review" button itself appears under this heading. Everything is in place visually, just stuck on functionality..

Ideally, I would also like to make it so that if a review has already been written, the "write review" button could change to "read review", and link to the relevant review.

Thanks,
Gangees

Oh dear now I see what I am trying to do is wrong, I'm asking for a review of an order, not a product, Doh!

Okay, a rethink is needed..

Hi Ajeh,
Sorry for previous confusion and wasting your time, the new and improved short answer to your earlier question quoted above is yes, that is exactly what I want to do

I have now placed the link on my tpl_account_history_info_default.php override page. This page lists the "Order Information - Order #NUMBER" and shows the product name. I have place the "write review" button in line with the product, but still have no functionality, I don't know how to get the product id..

Thanks for any more help,
Gangees

Hi Ajeh,

Please ignore my previous post, sorry for the confusion and wasting your time, the new and improved short answer to your earlier question quoted above is yes, that is exactly what I want to do

I realised my error and it now works, hooray!

Very interested in this, I would like to add an IF argument also based on whether the account holder has already written a review. If they haven't then display the button, if they have then don't display the button. I understand the theory but haven't a clue how to actually do this though.

Any more help much appreciated,

Gangees
