Nickname or Screename for Reviews ???

[DVBHardware]

I was looking through the contrib's to see if there was any mods to show the a nickname etc. for product reviews I think coustomers would feel more comfortable to write a review if there real name wasn't used. I know I would.

 

Is there anything I missed in the contrib's that would acomplish this.

You would need to allow the customer to input a nickname with the account setup details and assign a string to this input which you can later call for reviews just in the same way that the reviews calls the cutomers id and name.

why not go in and edit the calls to the name and just have it call the first name?

I think I know what you mean but, "I'm not a coder just a splicer" says it all.

 

Or if you can call the first name and the first inital of the last name, & state.

 

Just a thought

Did anybody follow through in coding this concept? It's a really good idea (either to use only first name or first name+initial last name+ state), but my coding skills are not up to par. Could somebody share this piece of the code?

Thanks!

Hope this helps, it will give the user's first name and the state they are form.

 

Replace these lines in product_reviews_write.php

 

 $customer_query = tep_db_query("select customers_firstname, customers_lastname from " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " where customers_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "'");

 

With this one.

 

$customer_query = tep_db_query("select pc.delivery_state, pd.customers_firstname from " . TABLE_ORDERS . " pc, " . TABLE_CUSTOMERS . " pd where pc.customers_id = '" . (int)$customer_id . "'");

 

And this line:

 

<td class="main"><?php echo '<b>' . SUB_TITLE_FROM . '</b> ' . tep_output_string_protected($customer['customers_firstname'] . ' ' . $customer['customers_lastname']); ?></td>

 

With This one

 

<td class="main"><?php echo '<b>' . SUB_TITLE_FROM . '</b><br>' . tep_output_string_protected($customer['customers_firstname']); ?><br><?php echo tep_output_string_protected($customer['delivery_state']); ?></td>

BTW, it right now will just show the first name when people view the reviews, I will post the next change as soon as I can to show the state also, or someone else may before that...

Hey thats a good idea about showing the state. I had taken out the lastname on my own this morning and just happen to find this while searching for something else ...
