Ability to submit multiple reviews per product same user

[lbrewerandassoc]

If are logged in as a Registered User and attempt to submit a Review on a product for which you have already submitted a review, the ProductReviewsPanel is written so that the user's former review is selected for updating.

I want to allow registered customers to submit multiple (new) reviews for the same product. That is, I want a new Insert Form to show up each time a user clicks to submit a new Review. Is there an easy way to do this?

Edit you ConLib/ProductReviewForm.ascx.cs file and locate following code

Code: Select all

//CHECK FOR EXISTING REVIEW
if(_ProductReview == null) _ProductReview = ProductReviewDataSource.LoadForProductAndReviewerProfile(_ProductId, profile.ReviewerProfileId);

and change it as below

Code: Select all

//CHECK FOR EXISTING REVIEW
                    //if(_ProductReview == null) _ProductReview = ProductReviewDataSource.LoadForProductAndReviewerProfile(_ProductId, profile.ReviewerProfileId);

Now locate

Code: Select all

//EITHER LOAD THE EXISTING REVIEW OR CREATE NEW            
if (_ProductReview == null) _ProductReview = ProductReviewDataSource.LoadForProductAndReviewerProfile(_ProductId, _Profile.ReviewerProfileId);

and change it as below

Code: Select all

//EITHER LOAD THE EXISTING REVIEW OR CREATE NEW            
//if (_ProductReview == null) _ProductReview = ProductReviewDataSource.LoadForProductAndReviewerProfile(_ProductId, _Profile.ReviewerProfileId);

Hopefully it will workout.

Thanks.

I found a 3rd instance of the ProductReviewDataSource.LoadForProductAndReviewerProfile call w/in the ProductReviewForm.ascx.cs page (line 225) and commented it out also.

It seems to be working great. thanks.
