During customization,

I customized the listing template for product reviews (tpl_product_reviews_default.php), and matters seemed well in hand. Of course I stored the customized template in my templates override directory. The reviews listing displayed exactly as I had expected. Then, though, I noticed that *occasionally* the default listing template reappeared. After some head-scratching, I noticed that the default listing template displayed only when I clicked the "Read Reviews" button on the template page for writing a review (tpl_product_reviews_write_default.php). I discovered that the "Read Reviews" link on this latter template pointed to a different listing template (tpl_reviews_default.php).

So to my query: What are the differences in purpose between the tpl_reviews_default.php and tpl_product_reviews_default.php files? On my ZC installation at least, both default templates render exactly the same. I did study the differences in the file codings (best I could, given my limping ability with php), and I see the *coding* differences, but my ZC installation doesn't show any *rendered* differences. The two templates look just the same when rendered.

My query isn't just academic. As I mentioned, the two separate files caused my customized reviews listing not to show from the Write Reviews page. Rather than customize the second reviews listing template (tpl_reviews_default.php) to match the first one that I customized (tpl_product_reviews_default.php), I just changed the link on the Write Reviews template to go to the tpl_product_reviews_default.php. After making this change, though, I realized that I might be doing something stupid by making this change without fully understanding the file relations. Hence my query.

Thanks in advance for any direction sent my way,
