This should be a simple one.

I have $enablecustomerratings=FALSE; but the customer/viewer can still leave a review. How to I disable that?

Thanks, Josiah

Without seeing the site it's a little difficult but can you try adding the following:
$onlyclientratings=TRUE;


So only logged in clients can leave a review and disable the customer login if you don't need it



*Contact Us*
*Buy The PHP Capture Card Plugin*
*Rate Our Services/View Our Feedback*

Commenting out this option should not show the ratings info correct.
// Customer Reviews and Ratings
//$enablecustomerratings=TRUE;

But yet it still shows this on detail. How do we not show?

Product Reviews
No Reviews For This Product.

Thanks,

Josiah and Eddie, to answer your question ...

In your includes.php config file, the key thing to do is set the order of elements to be displayed on category, product and product detail pages (read more), like for example:

// CUSTOM LAYOUT for categories.php page (New v7.2.3)
$categorypagelayout="catimage, catname, discounts, description";

// CUSTOM LAYOUT for products.php
$productpagelayout="productimage, productname, reviewstars, listprice, discounts, price, description";

// CUSTOM LAYOUT for Recommended, Related pages
$csproductpagelayout="productimage, productname, reviewstars, listprice, discounts, price, description";

// CUSTOM LAYOUT for proddetail.php pages
$detailpagelayout="productimage, productname, navigation, dateadded, sku, manufacturer, reviewstarslarge, socialmedia, description, options, listprice, discounts, price, quantitypricing, addtocart, reviews, previousnext";

If you do not want Reviews to appear, then you simply delete the red entries highlighted above. Any element not listed in those parameters does not get displayed.

Leave other includes.php entries as is, like for example:

// REVIEWS and RATINGS
$enablecustomerratings=TRUE;
$ratingsonproductspage=TRUE;
$customerratinglength=2048;
$allowhtmlinreviews=TRUE; // Allow HTML text styles in reviews
$onlyclientratings=FALSE; // Must be logged in to enter review ? Nope, but reviews must still be Approved before they are published.
$numcustomerratings=15; // Display xx per page, lets not have too many page breaks.
$dailyratinglimit=10;

And so, if you ever want to restore Reviews sometime in future, then you simply alter the CUSTOM LAYOUT elements above accordingly ... and all will be good

That works somewhat. I was able to remove the reviews. I assume this format style doesn't use the CSS for the detail formatting. For instance the quantity is above the "Add to Cart" and not to
the left and some other formatting is missing.

Eddie

Very helpful Gary, thank you.

Eddie, I think the idea is the get the layout as close as possible in the includes.php file and then use CSS from there.

$usecsslayout=TRUE;
Yes, you must be using CSS layouts for any of this to work.

addtocartquant
Enter this element to put the Add to Cart button along with the Quantity control in the same container, so it's easier to keep them aligned. (instead of "quantity, addtocart".)

There is also:

// ARTICLE page layout (New v7.2.1)
$articlepagelayout="productimage, productname, navigation, dateadded, socialmedia, description, previousnext";

I have not shown all the elements available in my examples above. Do check out the "PHP parameters" page for more details; one of the most important ECT Help pages of all.

You rearrange the Display Order of elements however you like; Vince magic
