How to remove last name from product reviews?

[Ausgirl]

Hello,

 

How do I remove the last name from showing in product reviews. (People dont like their last name advertised on the net, & it prevents them from leaving a review)

 

I just want their first name and State to show like this:

Use php function explode and print first array element (for first name)

demo code

$names = explode(" ", $first&lastname);
echo $names[0];

 

$first&lastname=John Doe

$names becomes array and stores values as elements in an array, so

$names[0] would give you first name, and

$names[1] would give you last name.

 

 

HTH,

 

thx

Gaurav,

 

Im not sure what it is your saying. If you are saying I have code like that I need to change, I cant find any code that looks similar to that. If your telling me to place that code into my catalog/reviews.php where do I place it?

 

Thanks

You got to edit your /catalog/products_review_write.php and search for the following (around line 47):

 

	if ($error == false) {
  tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_REVIEWS . " (products_id, customers_id, customers_name, reviews_rating, date_added) values ('" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "', '" . (int)$customer_id . "', '" . tep_db_input($customer['customers_firstname']) . ' ' . tep_db_input($customer['customers_lastname']) . "', '" . tep_db_input($rating) . "', now())");

 

and replace it with the following

 

	if ($error == false) {
  tep_db_query("insert into " . TABLE_REVIEWS . " (products_id, customers_id, customers_name, reviews_rating, date_added) values ('" . (int)$HTTP_GET_VARS['products_id'] . "', '" . (int)$customer_id . "', '" . tep_db_input($customer['customers_firstname'])  . "', '" . tep_db_input($rating) . "', now())");

Thanks Manfred,

 

That did the trick, is there a way it could add the customers State next to their name?
