Magento

Is it possible to move reviews and review form to product page?  I don’t like having the link to another page for customers to read and write reviews, it would be great to have all of this on the one product page.  If possible, please let me know how to do this.  I’ve played with moving the relevent code from detailed.phtml to the view.phtml pages but it didn’t work right and I don’t know enough php to make things work.

hello
i have same problem, i was trying to do this with that:
catalog.xml
FIND:

in catalog/product/view.phtml at bottom add:

small edit i menaged to show review form on product detailed page but reviews doesnt show

HOW TO:
read the post before and change

anyone know how to show the reviews ?

@vicek: it doesn’t work for me, but I found an easier solution:

in catalog.xml the block I added (in the same position) is:

and, as you said, in catalog/product/view.phtml wherever you want add:

This shows the reviews, too!
I hope it helps

Thank you for posting your code! I’ve been trying to figure this out all day, and your code worked perfectly.

Thanks again.

Thanks for the information above, it is has been very helpful. I’m wanting to go a little further with the placement of the reviews though. Using the code posted by Mr. Teal, how would I place the review form within the description of the product page? I can get it to show up above and below with no problem, but what is the CMS code for making the review form show up somewhere in the middle of the product description?

Any idea on how to make the above code from Mr. Teal have the reviews appear within the product description section? The above information will set the reviews above and below the product description, but what is the code to place it within the actual HTML of the product description?

i’m interested in this as well

I do mr. Teal’s suggest for 1.4 version with the magento-sample-data-1.2.0,but this seem doesnt work. who can tell me the accurate position Code should be put?

I’ll try to add my solution for version 1.4 for including reviews WITH page toolbar:

From what I found, it’s not necessary to modify view.phtml, but enought to modify your local.xml (new template suggestion by magento instead of copying other xml files) you should add to section:
<catalog_product_view>
...
<reference name="content">
...
ADD CODE HERE
...
</reference>
</catalog_product_view>

This code:

<block type="review/product_view_list" name="product.info.product_additional_data" as="product_review" template="review/product/view/list.phtml">
<block type="page/html_pager" name="product_review_list.toolbar" />
<block type="core/template" name="product_review_list.count" template="review/product/view/count.phtml" />
<block type="review/product_view_list" name="product.info.product_additional_data" as="product_additional_data" template="review/product/view/list.phtml">
<block type="review/form" name="product.review.form" as="review_form">
<block type="page/html_wrapper" name="product.review.form.fields.before" as="form_fields_before">
<action method="setMayBeInvisible"><value>1</value></action>
</block>
</block>
</block>
</block>

in catalog.xml the block I added (in the same position) is:

<block type="review/product_view_list" name="product.info.product_additional_data" as="product_review" template="review/product/view/list.phtml">
  <block type="review/form" name="product.review.form" as="review_form"/>
</block>

and, as you said, in catalog/product/view.phtml wherever you want add:

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('product_review') ?>

This shows the reviews, too!
I hope it helps

Very helpful. Thanks mate. Works like a charm in 1.4.1 . One minute its done. Just remember to refresh the cache.

what a great post!

this works for me with 1.4.1.

as far as the block code in catalog.xml. i placed my code after

this way my reviews sit inside the description right before the upsell. feels perfectly natural.

<block type="catalog/product_view" name="product.info.addtocart" as="addtocart" template="catalog/product/view/addtocart.phtml"/>

Works great, but the only problem is that the summary links that are generated are directed to pages that do not exist, is there a way to remove the link feature but keep the summary text?

Thanks!

I have the reviews displaying on the product page, but I have been struggling with, what I hope, is an easy fix.

How do I control the number of reviews displayed? The toolbar gives the options 10,20,50 - defaulting at 10. Where do I change this? I have gone through all of associated files and it looks like it is controlled through the Admin… but where? I looked in catalog/frontend and a bunch of other places but can’t seem to find it.

Thanks

I am using easytabs and trying to move review box just above the product price and attributes. Please advice.
