Can't rewrite block (Mage_Review_Block_Product_View) Magento M1

Question

Cant rewrite Mage_Review_Block_Product_View for some reason.

In my config file I have:

   <?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <NameSpace_ModuleName>
            <version>0.0.1</version>

        <events>
            <review_save_after>
                <observers>
                    <NameSpace_ModuleName>
                        <type>singleton</type>
                        <class>NameSpace_ModuleName_Model_Observer</class>
                        <method>notifyRecipient</method>
                    </NameSpace_ModuleName>
                </observers>
            </review_save_after>
        </events>
        <template>
            <email>
                <review_email_notification_optionamespace_email_template tranamespacelate="label" module="review">
                    <label>Product Review Notification</label>
                    <file>product_review_notification.html</file>
                    <type>html</type>
                </review_email_notification_optionamespace_email_template>
            </email>
        </template>
    </global>
</config>

And I place file the following path: Local/Namespace/ModuleName/Block/Product/View.php

with class name extended like this: class Namespace_ModuleName_Block_Product_View extends Mage_Catalog_Block_Product_View

But it would not extend it for some reason. Its not cache, and the rest of the module works fine.

Please help dont know what to try.

Thanks,

Answer 1

I guess your class should extend Mage_Review_Block_Product_View.

Answer 2

<global>    
    <blocks>
        <review>
            <rewrite>              
                <product_view>NameSpace_ModuleName_Block_Product_View</product_view> 
            </rewrite>
        </review> 
    </blocks>
<global> 

NameSpace/ModuleName/Block/Product/View.php

class Namespace_ModuleName_Block_Product_View extends Mage_Review_Block_Product_View
{
    //your code here
}
