is there a way of disabling Product Review but retain Product rating?
I already disabled the Product Review in the backend but in the frontend the ratings will not be displayed.
I would like to get rid of the review but the ratings will remain by asking the user to login first before they can rate, then after login they can give a 1-5 star for the rating to the Product. Is this achievable? Any insights? solutions? Thanks
It seems that when you disable Mage_Review then Mage_Rating also gets disabled.
You can manually remove the review form by editing the following template file:
app/design/frontend/YOUR_PACKAGE/YOUR_THEME/template/review/form.phtml
The review form is submitted to postAction() of class Mage_Review_ProductController (app/code/core/Mage/Review/controllers/ProductController.php).
In postAction() function, you will see this code:
$validate = $review->validate();
You can set $validate to true:
$validate = true;
Or, edit the validate() function in class Mage_Review_Model_Review (app/code/core/Mage/Review/Model/Review.php).
Mage_Review_ProductController with your custom module or just make a local copy at app/code/local/Mage/Review/controllers/ProductController.php and edit in the local copy.
