Look back at post #3 where Linda tells you where to find the file to modify and the line of code to change... and then remove this part..

customers_lastname

taking care to leave the single quotation marks in there

if I ever figure out that city thing in place of the last name, i'll put that in here too

[dharma]

I have taken Linda's Code and gotten rid of the last name.

Could I instead of leaving it blank, replace

customers_lastname 

with

customers_nick 

?

And if so, how do I turn on the Nick Name in the first place...

I see

Nick Name
Minimum length of Nick Name

in the Admin...but no references to how to turn it on....

and where would it appear? Create_account? would it be editable in my account?

[dharma]

I also removed customers_lastname from

$customer_query = "SELECT customers_firstname, customers_lastname, customers_email_address
                   FROM " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . "
                   WHERE customers_id = :customersID"; 

from line 42 of the product reviews write header page...is that safe to do?

[sagiordano]

one question about this...can this page be done as an override?

[dharma]

/includes/modules/pages/product_reviews_write/header_php.php

has no override file.

Its ok to change it, just make a note to yourself that you changed it, so that when you upgrade, you can change the new upgraded /includes/modules/pages/product_reviews_write/header_php.php file in the same way.

HELP! I made the changes to remove the last name, worked beautifully, however, now my review page is showing the wrong title and small thumbnail picture - the same wrong title and picture, on every review entry.

In this view the review is correct. Why is that dang stroller showing up on every page! Grrrrr....

Any assistance would be most welcomed.

I reset the file from the backup so it's working right again, but the last names are back

[exittheapple]

hi guys thanks for the info - my customers will be SO happy if i can make this work!

i deleted the 'customers_lastname' tag from line 42 AND from line 80 and the last names are still showing up in all my reviews... does this not work on existing reviews, only new ones?

is there any way to change the way the existing reviews are displayed?

[athena]

The reviews take the first and last name in the main customer table in your database and put them together in the reviews table in your database. So any reviews already compiled are set. The only way to eliminate the last name in the existing reviews is to physically go into your reviews table in your database and delete the last name in that column, leaving the first name intact.

If you are not used to going into the database or do not have a tool to do that, search the forum here for database editing advice. It is pretty scary, but can be done safely. You can't be reckless about it.
