Product Reviews: Removing "Date Added"

[DesignbyDemeter]

I've search the forum and with the aid of the developers tool kit, I found a file:

includes/modules/pages/product_reviews/header.php

in there is a block:

while (!$reviews->EOF) {
$reviewsArray[] = array('id'=>$reviews->fields['reviews_id'],
'customersName'=>$reviews->fields['customers_name'],
'dateAdded'=>$reviews->fields['date_added'],
'reviewsText'=>$reviews->fields['reviews_text'],
'reviewsRating'=>$reviews->fields['reviews_rating']);
$reviews->MoveNext();

wherein the 'dateAdded.... was what I thought the pertinent code. I commented that out - to no avail.

Are there additional steps I need to take. I have a lot of comments emailed to me that I need to either backdate, or not have any date at all.

Thanks,
Laura

In everything one should first exhaust the possibilities in the admin instead of turning directly to the code.

In the admin > catalog > product types > select layout > Show Date Added and set to false

I did do that - that switch refers to the date the product was added, not the date the review was added.

Any other suggestions?

My Error...I didn't read your post closely enough as you did specify.

Will check this and get back, or another will.

You are trying to get too "deep" in the code ...

Go to the template level ...

/includes/templates/template_default/templates/tpl_product_review_info_default.php

Copy to your template and overrides directory ...

Find the line near the bottom for:

<div id="reviewsInfoDefaultDate" class="bold"><?php echo sprintf(TEXT_REVIEW_DATE_ADDED, zen_date_short($review_info->fields['date_added'])); ?>&nbsp;<?php echo sprintf(TEXT_REVIEW_BY, zen_output_string_protected($review_info->fields['customers_name'])); ?></div>

You can comment out the date just by changing this to read:

<div id="reviewsInfoDefaultDate" class="bold"><?php // echo sprintf(TEXT_REVIEW_DATE_ADDED, zen_date_short($review_info->fields['date_added'])); ?>&nbsp;<?php echo sprintf(TEXT_REVIEW_BY, zen_output_string_protected($review_info->fields['customers_name'])); ?></div>

Notice the two little forward slashes that I added ...

Note: there are several pages to the reviews ... that also will need a tweek ...

Can you tell me where each is located. Thanks a million.

Go to the Tools ... Developers Tool Kit ... and do a search on:
review

and select Catalog ... then click Search ... and you should locate all pages for the reviews ...

This will show all references to that, among other things ...

Well do, thank again.

Once you review that, you can also narrow things down on a search for:
TEXT_REVIEW_DATE_ADDED
