Product Review by Tess - How do you set up the actual reviews?

[lesliekirk]

To me, it's not logical to have the stars review on the category page but I had never thought about it before. Why does the store want reviews at the category level? It's been so long since I installed this, I can't really remember what all went into this.

Could the following code be altered to say category instead of product and duplicate that part of the code?

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:link">
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:tgr:link" value="l.settings:product:link" />
<mvt:else>
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:tgr:link" value="l.settings:urls:_self:auto" />
</mvt:if>

<mvt:if expr="g.TGR_Review_Success EQ 1">
<div style="color: #4F8A10;background-color: #DFF2BF;margin: 10px 0;padding: 0.75rem 1rem; font-size: 11px; text-transform: uppercase; font-weight: bold; text-align:center;">Thank you for your review!</div>

Not the actual reviews - just the stars (pretty much like every eCommerce store has). I think I've got something in place but I think it might be more than is needed:

<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Product_Review_Count( l.settings:product:id, l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgreviews:tg r_review_count )" />
<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgrevi ews:tgr_review_count GT 0">
<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Product_Rating( l.settings:product:id, l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgreviews:tg r_rating )" />
</mvt:if>

<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Product_Review_Count( l.settings:product:id, l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgreviews:tg r_review_count )" />

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgrevi ews:tgr_review_count GT 0">
<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Product_Rating( l.settings:product:id, l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgreviews:tg r_rating )" />
</mvt:if>
<mvt:if expr="( l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgreviews:tg r_review_count GT 0 ) AND ( NOT ISNULL l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgreviews:tg r_rating )">
<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Product_Rating( l.settings:product:id, l.settings:tgr:avg_rating )" />
<div class="tgreviews-average">
<mvt:assign name="l.settings:star_width" value="( l.settings:product:customfield_values:tgreviews:tg r_rating / 5 ) * 100" />
<span class="tgreviews-average__star" title="&mvte:product:customfield_values:tgreviews: tgr_rating; out of 5.">
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="tgreviews-average__star-overlay" style="width:&mvte:star_width;%;">
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
<span class="u-icon-star-full"></span>
</span>
</span>(&mvte:product:customfield_values:tgreviews:t gr_review_count;)
</div>
</mvt:if>

Now to figure out how to make the stars on the product page open up the Reviews tab (I did this eons ago, now to just find the code).

Time to circle back on this one - is there no way to display the review stars on the CTGY page with each product?

Thanks, I have discovered that this solution may not be quite enough for the store that needs it. They are currently using a Toolkit solution with stars. I'm probably just going to implement it in the new layout and suggest moving to something like Miva's Ratings & Reviews.

[Miss Kate]

Is there a simple way to assign reviews to multiple products? We have many products that are the same, just different colors.

The actual review or the form to submit a review? The form to submit a review is placed exactly where I noted it above in the pic of the code. It automatically will be beneath each product. The actual review is held in the System Extensions > Product Reviews: Reviews tab. See below. You can also manually add reviews by clicking on the Add Review button. Like I mentioned earlier, DON'T auto approve reviews because you'll be getting a lot of spam. I get email notifications with spam review information & then go into this screen to delete them.

Okay, under system extensions is where the Product Reviews: Settings are so you can modify how the stars looks. The code is in the Reviews Template.

These are the only settings I used:

DON'T checkmark Auto Approve Reviews because you'll have a lot of horrible stuff posted to the website. It appears Cialis is the primary product that my spammers want to use.

If you want me to send you the Reviews Template coding I used, just let me know.

[Miss Kate]

Here is what the actual review looks like. Once the review module is installed the tab shows up on every product page. I still can't find where I installed it but here is a picture of the one item I have had reviewed. I'll have to do a search on my website to see where I stuck the code that generates below. Might not be until tomorrow. I was unable to get the yellow bar for the 5-star to change to a darker gold but I wasn't that worried about it at the time.

Also - is there a way to display the stars instead of the "Rated 5/5(1 review)"?

Here is how I placed the template on the PROD page under Product Display. I just recently got the actual review portion working & edited the colors of the stars to darker stars because of my website background. That part I'll have to look for as I can't remember exactly where I called that code into the product.

I'm such an idiot. Above is where the actual reviews template gets placed. I'll show the actual settings in another post.

</mvt:if>
<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Reviews_Template(l.settings:product:id)" />
<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Form_Template()" />
<mvt:item name="prod_ctgy_hdft" param="prod_footer" />

Thank you for seeing an error in the coding. I thought I had copied & pasted it but evidently not. I've been working on it this evening & FINALLY got the reviews to show up. I'm ecstatic now!

You may have to give me some insights - the documentation for this has me on information overload. I placed the tokens but since there are no reviews, that's the message displayed but I can't seem to figure out how (or where) the link is to write a review. I'd like to "hide" the form or maybe have it pop up.

Make sure you have the tgreviews item assigned to the PROD page and now sure if this is in your actual code or just pasted into the forums but this function should use l.settings:product:id

Reviews_Template(l.settings:product:id)

[Siamese-Dream.Com]

Did you ever figure this out? Looking to possibly implement on our site.

[Miss Kate]

I just got my first product review using the Product Reviews by Tess and I can't figure out how to show the actual review on the product page of the item reviewed.

Here is how I added the coding from the instruction documentation to the PROD page but I think I might have put the Reviews template in the wrong part of the code:

<mvt:if expr="l.settings:related_product_count NE 0">
<div class="bor"></div>
<h4 class="title">Related Products</h4>
<mvt:item name="related_products" />

</mvt:if>
<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Form_Template()" />
<mvt:item name="tgreviews" param="Reviews_Template(|.settings:product:id)" />
<mvt:item name="prod_ctgy_hdft" param="prod_footer" />

</div>


The form template shows up but I can't get the actual review to show up. What am I doing wrong?
