Is there a way to cut out the customer's name when they post a review? I don't want to include any personal info on the review page, just the item they bought, the review comments and possibly the initials and state where the customer is from. Just a note to the previous posts in this tread, I have found that if you have your products deactivated after they sell out of stock and they "disapper" from your store, the customer has no way to come back and do the review as the product is gone. (Assuming you are using the Review option like feedback in ebay and have the customer complete the review AFTER the item arrives to them.)

I have this setting but my out of stock items still disapar when out of stock. Is there a diff setting I'm not aware of to fix this?

Thank you.

You can either comment out this section of code:

PHP Code:
<div id="productReviewsDefaultReviewer" class="bold"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_REVIEW_DATE_ADDED, zen_date_short($reviews['dateAdded'])); ?>&nbsp;<?php echo sprintf(TEXT_REVIEW_BY, zen_output_string_protected($reviews['customersName'])); ?></div>
in each of the reviews files or disable it using the stylesheet

#productReviewsDefaultReviewer { display: none;}

How do I change it to the Customers first name and city?

I've been receiving complimentary emails from people that have bought my products from ebay and wanted to add more glowing feedback then ebay allows in 1 sentance and I wanted to add their comments to the product they bought as if they bought it off my zencart shop.

To solve this, I logged into the zen shop as myself, then cut and pasted their comments. I clicked on update and was told my comments would be reviewed etc.
I then logged into phpMyadmin and clicked my database on the left and then clicked search in the main screen and searched for my name. I found my name in several places and the one to edit was inside table reviews near the bottom of the long list that appeared.

I then clicked on edit (pen/pencil icon) and changed my name to be the initials of the person who gave me the review and then saved it.
Voila, the review is by Alison S and not by me.
This was the first time I'd used phpMyAdmin and it was a doddle.

Thanks for reading

I tried the reviews tip by Nedward as well and it worked like a charm. Thank you, thank you, thank you. I can now add so many comments from customers this way. Brilliant!
