Reviews - Updated [Support Thread]

[lat9]

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.

what a beauty .. Backed up everything 1st and tested & installed, worked fine on my site
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

Thanks for the replies. I thought one of the main points of the reviews update was so a guest can write a review, and I figured they could do that without having to enter in all that name and address information, which I'm assuming would be a big deterrent to anyone who clicks on the write review button. I would like it to go straight to the page where they can write the review and just enter their name and select a product from a drop down list perhaps? I could make this happen with some html, like when I made a simple survey page for my old site that didn't use any php.

Did you enable the product reviews by guests? Configuration->Product Info->Enable product reviews by guests? should be set to 1. Do you have any other plugins that modify the product_reviews_write page?

Yes I did. Went through the install instructions a few times to make sure it was done right. No. Thanks

I'll do a fresh install in the morning and see if I can see anything amiss on a "stock" Zen Cart base. Did FEC make any changes to /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_product_info_display.php? If so, would you post your version?
