Questions on Review functions and visitor counter.

[novationtech]

Hello, I am using oscommerce to design a site for a customer (www.tropicaloceanreef.com/store) and they have asked if it is possible to remove the "reviews" functions and to adjust the counter..(it's them not me...). As far as the counter, it's not critical, however they would really like the reviews function to disappear.. Any help would be appreciated.. Thanks in advance.

you can comment out the reviews and the counter can be made into a real counter if that is what you mean

Thank you for the reply, what I mean is take out the whole option for the user to leave a review. And how would the counter be changed? Thank you.

I will have to think for a sec to understand how to remove the option for leave a review--I have a couple ideas--but for the counter, here is my includes/counter.php file--upload it over yours and that should make it a unique visitor counter instead of a per click counter which is what it is at a new install...make sure to save your old one in case something goes wrong but I do not see how it could, hope this helps!
