Review text snippet in sidebox

Hi,
I've approved a review on my site and now a picture of the product reviewed and the star rating is visible in the sidebox but I was hoping to also have a snippet of the review text featured below as is the style in the module template we have here: http://www.templatemonster.com/zencart-templates/23582.html How do I change the settings to get some text to show?

I've been rummaging around in the settings for ages but can't find anything, please help!
Thanks in advance! :smile:

The text does display on my stock test site. It's possible your friends at Template Monster removed that feature. One way to find out would be to temporarily switch back to the Classic template.

Any idea where the settings would be to control this so I can check them out?

Admin - Tools - Template Selection

Sorry, I meant where would I find the settings for the review sidebox?

bumps anyone?

There are no specific settings for the Reviews sidebox. There are a couple in Maximum Values, but none that address the question you asked in your original post.

I still think your best bet is to switch to the Classic template and see if it appears there. You might also provide a link to your site.

I changed it into classic and the text snippet appears there as I want it to. :dontgetit

The site with our styled template is at https://www.tower-health.net

Any ideas would be much appreciated!

:laugh:. This might be the best argument I've seen for not ever using Template Monster templates. Here's the Reviews sidebox source code from a stock Zencart installation, which includes the review text:

<!--// bof: reviews //-->
<div class="leftBoxContainer" id="reviews" style="width: 150px">
<h3 class="leftBoxHeading" id="reviewsHeading"><a href="http://www.stevesh.org/zentest/index.php?main_page=reviews">Reviews  [more]</a></h3>
<div id="reviewsContent" class="sideBoxContent centeredContent"><a href="http://www.stevesh.org/zentest/index.php?main_page=product_reviews_info&products_id=19&reviews_id=1"><img src="images/dvd/theres_something_about_mary.gif" alt="There's Something About Mary Linked" title=" There's Something About Mary Linked " width="100" height="80" /><br />This really is a very funny but old movie!</a><br /><br /><img src="includes/templates/template_default/images/stars_5.gif" alt="5 of 5 Stars!" title=" 5 of 5 Stars! " width="90" height="20" /></div></div>
<!--// eof: reviews //-->

Here's yours, which doesn't include the text (but does sport at least 12 unnecessary nested divs):

You might be able to figure out what they did looking at the source, or the template's /sideboxes/tpl_reviews_random.php. Failing that you'll have to ask TM, I guess.

Thanks for trying. I just tried to sort it out with TMs sparkling live chat support team but no joy. Support ticket now placed :frusty:
