fancave Posted November 25, 2005 Share Posted November 25, 2005 I've searched the forum and not found a suitable answer. I want to completely disable the Reviews feature and don't want anything about reviews to appear on the pages. I've set the maximum values of Reviews Displayed at 0 but now I'm getting "There are no product reviews" in the Review box. Who can help me turn off this feature? :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"I must admit that I personally measure success in terms of the contributions an individual makes to her or his fellow human beings." ---Margaret Mead--- "The answer is never the answer. What's really interesting is the mystery. If you seek the mystery instead of the answer, you'll always be seeking. I've never seen anybody really find the answer -- they think they have, so they stop thinking. But the job is to seek mystery, evoke mystery, plant a garden in which strange plants grow and mysteries bloom. The need for mystery is greater than the need for an answer. --Ken Kesey" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi! He's right it's the easiest way, but please note that you have to do the second way too. So that customers will not have any way to post a review. FYI from a newbie!

JemCraft Posted September 6, 2007 Share Posted September 6, 2007 Hi I don't have the 'echo' code bit either, did you get this sorted at all? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted October 16, 2007 Share Posted October 16, 2007 Hi I don't have the 'echo' code bit either, did you get this sorted at all? As a further note I also wanted to do this in my shop, with the possibility that I may want to revert back to using reviews at some point in the future. I have just created an white image file (gif) 1x1 pixel, and uploaded it to the includes/languages/images/buttons folder, replacing the current button_reviews.gif Simple :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdesa2000 Posted May 29, 2008 Share Posted May 29, 2008 For some reason, google is indexing some of my product review pages and showing them in search results more frequently than the actual product info pages. Will the suggestions explained previously disable google from indexing review pages or is there another way of solving this indexing issue?

coperchoper Posted May 31, 2008 Share Posted May 31, 2008 If you have comment the lines google should not find the link and index the page , I recommend you to check that the references google do to your review pages are really not "operative", I mean they are not valid. Some people has proposed to hide the link, but hide does not mean "deactivate" because it does not prevent anyone to access the reviews function using the link http://yourgoodhost/catalog/product_review...oducts_id=1xxxx (try it) I’ve disable the reviews function renaming the .php files that make them work to .disable. You can delete the files but this way you can always recover them back. So to disable the reviews rename the following files product_reviews_info.php - to -> product_reviews_info.disable product_reviews_write.php - to -> product_reviews_write.disable reviews.php - to -> reviews.disable product_reviews.php - to -> product_reviews.disable Then any access to http://yourgoodhost/catalog/product_review...oducts_id=1xxxx will return a 404 page error , but since no links/buttons refer to the review this is a good behaviour.

soopernick Posted November 8, 2008 Share Posted November 8, 2008 OH MY GOD SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP ME! I'm new to this sort of stuff and i have no idea where i went wrong! I was following the instructions on this topic to disable the reviews. i started with the "the easiest way is what alan said first, go into column_right.php(or column_left.php if you moved it there) find this: require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'reviews.php'); change to://require(DIR_WS_BOXES . 'reviews.php'); the 2 lines in the front will comment it out, and if you decide you want it again later then go back there and take the lines out." post and it worked fine. Then i moved onto the post that reads : " <a href=<?=tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS, tep_get_all_get_params()) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_reviews.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_REVIEWS)?></a> replace with CODE <? // echo "<a href=".tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS, tep_get_all_get_params()) . '">' . tep_image_button('button_reviews.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_REVIEWS)."</a>"; ?> That should do it" When i tried that the first time, it removed the review button, but it also removed the product photo. So i went back in and removed the //, but now the entire page wont load. I have no idea what i did wrong because it seemed like i was just undoing the operation that i had just tried. Can somebody please advice me on what to do next in order to get this stuff back? Thank you so much! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kieran_mullen Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 I have already edited it out, but it might be successful for future ordering. How can I enable it so users can leave reviews for products only on items they have purchased? perhaps it would be done only through their my account area? thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 29, 2009 Share Posted December 29, 2009 Shana, It looks like you are using a template...........change: <tr><td colspan=2 align=right><a href=<?=tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS, tep_get_all_get_params()) .
