Reviews Sidebox - How to add reviews?

Hi - this is my first post, so my aplogies if this is posted in the wrong category.

Have a "Reviews" sidebox, which states "There are currently no product reviews." By clicking on the "Reviews More" link it shows the Reviews page.

Problem, how do I or my customers actually enter a review? I dont see any button that says "Add A Review" etc ... so how do I allow folks to leave reviews?

Thanks

There should be a 'Write a Review' button on the product info page. If it isn't there, it may have been turned off in Admin - Catalog - Product Types - Edit Layout.

Thanks for the suggestion.
Found the Products page page, edited the layout, and the only entry close was "Show product review button" which appears to be turned on - value is 1, true.
However, in the product area, where details about the product are, i do not see any option for allowing a review to be written.
Am i looking in the wrong area?
thanks

No, that's the right page. Do you have a custom template installed? Please provide a link to your site.

Re: Reviews Sidebox - How to add reviews?

Steve - got it! :clap:

Seems the write-a-review button is on the individual product description page, next to the add-to-cart button. I was expecting to see a write-a-review button on the "Reviews" page, as this is where i saw a button another zen-cart website...

I appreciate your help!
