product comments - how to make mendatory fields, optional?

[haimbilia]

hi everyone.

i want to let my users the option to add an empty review on a product so i will only get the stars review.

in other words: making the subject and comment fields optional.

by default it is mendatory, as you can see in the image i added.

 

i use prestashop 1.6.1.4 with the default bootstrap theme

this is my site: techbit.co.il

 

thank you, and sorry if i done anything wrong.

anyone? a hint maybe? where to start looking?

you need to remove the validation code from the controller of the page

/modules/productcomments/controllers/front/default.php

 

if (!Tools::getValue('title') || !Validate::isGenericName(Tools::getValue('title')))
$errors[] = $module_instance->l('Title is incorrect', 'default');
if (!Tools::getValue('content') || !Validate::isMessage(Tools::getValue('content')))
$errors[] = $module_instance->l('Comment is incorrect', 'default');

You may also consider to use our Agile Product Review modules, it has more features, for example send email to customer ask for reviews after several of order (configurable).

thank you very much for the help. very appreciated!   

i did what you said. but now if i post an empty review, the submit button will do nothing (no response).

it does let me submit it without a title but it wants at least one character in the comment field.

ok so i managed to do it by putting &nbsp inside the <textarea> tags, so the field has a space value when you open it.

so if anyone want to do it just go to productcomments.tpl and search for this:

<textarea id="content" name="content"></textarea>

and replace it with this:

<textarea id="content" name="content">&nbsp</textarea>
