blockviewed Passing productcomments information to blockviewed

[cyanoxide]

I'm trying to get ratings to show up on the products displayed in the blockviewed module (The one that displays your most recently viewed products in the left sidebar) however I can't seem to get it working as it doesn't rely on the $product array to generate the products which I find kind of strange.

I've found out how to pass various things from the $product array to the $viewedProduct array like the price for example using the  "Product::getProductProperties" but the productcomments module doesn't store anything in the $product array either so I'm a bit stumped on how I can pass that information across. The ideal solution would be to pass across the average rating for that product so I can style it with stars.

Any information regarding this issue will be greatly appreciated.
