Removing Reviews

**UpNorthPromo** · 8 Nov 2007, 04:22 AM

Is there anyway to remove the product reviews from my page? I have sold a lot through my site and I have very few reviews. I think it looks bad not having very many so I would rather not have that on there. Thanks!

im not sure i understand what you want remove exactly, but ill try.

Obviously you can turn of the sidebox, but if you want to remove the button from your product info page you need to open your tpl_product_info_display.php and remove the code

Code:

<!--bof Reviews button and count-->
      <?php
  if ($flag_show_product_info_reviews == 1) {
    // if more than 0 reviews, then show reviews button; otherwise, show the "write review" button
    if ($reviews->fields['count'] > 0 ) { ?>
      <div id="productReviewLink" class="buttonRow back"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS, zen_get_all_get_params()) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_REVIEWS, BUTTON_REVIEWS_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
      <br class="clearBoth" /> <p class="reviewCount"><?php echo ($flag_show_product_info_reviews_count == 1 ? TEXT_CURRENT_REVIEWS . ' ' . $reviews->fields['count'] : ''); ?></p>
      <?php } else { ?>
      <div id="productReviewLink" class="buttonRow back"><?php echo '<a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_WRITE, zen_get_all_get_params(array())) . '">' . zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_WRITE_REVIEW, BUTTON_WRITE_REVIEW_ALT) . '</a>'; ?></div>
      <br class="clearBoth" /> 
      <?php
  }
}
?>
      <!--eof Reviews button and count -->

It aint the prettiest method and im sure there is a better way, but i dont know it

Or you can turn it off in Admin->Catalog->Product Types->Edit Layout
- Show Product Reviews Count
- Show Product Reviews Button

DrByte,

I have turned off the reviews in the product types, but the reviews are still getting indexed by search engines. I don't want to delete the reviews that were written, but at the same time i do not want the search engine to index the reviews or the fact that a review page exists.

Any suggestions?
