I would like to disable the review option on product page in magento CE 1.9.0.1 but like to keep rating feature. I tried "Go to System>Configuration>Advance>mage_review >disable, but it then disables the rating also.

Also disabling mage_review takes off the Reviews and Rating tabs under catalog, which can be understood. But Ratings goes off with it too.

I would like to know the workaround over this. 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).

If you want to keep using the Ratings but not the reviews you might need to modify your phtml to remove or hide the Leave a review form. Dont remove the entire block from the XML since that will remove the stars you want to keep.

Here is a small guide to achieve something similar, this is the code for a short review output in the List/Grid view:

<?php echo $this->getReviewsSummaryHtml($_product, "short", true)?>

  • I dont have a lot of experience in frontend, but i would say that is the correct phtml to edit to achieve this.

    I believe there are two different modules for Review and Ratings, so why not to simply disable Mage_Review and keep the Mage_Rating as it is? I've never done that, but worth a try, isn't it?
