Reviews

[JoshNelson]

I bought a template from template monster for my osc site and I believe it came with "reviews" turned off.......or i somehow did it and don't remember. Can someone please tell me what files are required to turn "reviews" back on? I still see "reviews" in my console.....but not anything that says true or false or on or off. I'm guessing one of the files is column_left.php or column_right.php, but what other files are needed?

 

Appreciate the help,

Can't say without seeing your template but chances are the right column has been bypassed for the template. Adding it could cause your template to crash. The code for right column is coded in your index.php file.

I also had this problem, and had to edit the header.php file to creat a box, and then put the following into the box.

 

 

 

<!-- reviews //-->

<tr>

<td>

<?php

// $info_box_contents = array();

//$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_HEADING_REVIEWS);

 

//new infoBoxHeading($info_box_contents, false, false, tep_href_link(FILENAME_REVIEWS));

 

$random_select = "select r.reviews_id, r.reviews_rating, p.products_id, p.products_image, pd.products_name from " . TABLE_REVIEWS . " r, " . TABLE_REVIEWS_DESCRIPTION . " rd, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS . " p, " . TABLE_PRODUCTS_DESCRIPTION . " pd where p.products_status = '1' and p.products_id = r.products_id and r.reviews_id = rd.reviews_id and rd.languages_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "' and p.products_id = pd.products_id and pd.language_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'";

if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {

$random_select .= " and p.products_id = '" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "'";

}

$random_select .= " order by r.reviews_id desc limit " . MAX_RANDOM_SELECT_REVIEWS;

$random_product = tep_random_select($random_select);

 

$info_box_contents = array();

 

if ($random_product) {

// display random review box

$review_query = tep_db_query("select substring(reviews_text, 1, 60) as reviews_text from " . TABLE_REVIEWS_DESCRIPTION . " where reviews_id = '" . (int)$random_product['reviews_id'] . "' and languages_id = '" . (int)$languages_id . "'");

$review = tep_db_fetch_array($review_query);

 

$review = tep_break_string(tep_output_string_protected($review['reviews_text']), 15, '-<br>');

 

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => '<div align="center"><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id'] . '&reviews_id=' . $random_product['reviews_id']) . '">' . tep_image(DIR_WS_IMAGES . $random_product['products_image'], $random_product['products_name'], SMALL_IMAGE_WIDTH, SMALL_IMAGE_HEIGHT) . '</a></div><a href="' . tep_href_link(FILENAME_PRODUCT_REVIEWS_INFO, 'products_id=' . $random_product['products_id'] . '&reviews_id=' . $random_product['reviews_id']) . '">' . $review .

'</div>');

} elseif (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'])) {

// 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']) .

'</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>');

} else {

// display 'no reviews' box

$info_box_contents[] = array('text' => BOX_REVIEWS_NO_REVIEWS);

}

 

new infoBox($info_box_contents);

?> </td>
