Reviews Feature

[newtech]

I want to be able to have the reviews box to appear on all pages like the default except in one area. I would like to make it so the 'Add a Review' on the product page does not appear.

I was thinking there was a way that the 'Write a review' feature could be turned off so that indviduals cannot write a review and thus the 'Write a view' would nto show up. But I go into admin and I cannot see anyway to turn off reviews.

 

Any solutions?

if(basename($PHP_SELF) != product_info.php) a condition needs to be placed for review box include.

Where would it go. I tried different places with no luck.

Not sure all about the recommended edit, but found an easy way of dealing with just removed:

// display 'write a review' box

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<table border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="2"><tr><td class="infoBoxContents"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_WRITE, 'products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . 'box_write_review.gif', IMAGE_BUTTON_WRITE_REVIEW) . '</a></td><td class="infoBoxContents"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_WRITE, 'products_id=' . $HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id']) . '">' . BOX_REVIEWS_WRITE_REVIEW .'</a></td></tr></table>');
