Product Review on Homepage

Product Review on Homepage

How can I display a product review on the homepage? I have a single product store and want to display all the reviews on the homepage as well.

Re: Product Review on Homepage

There is no trick for you to do this out of the box, but you can achieve it easily with the following snippet (simple version):

1. Create class Yourvendor_Yourmodule_Block_Review with the following content:

<?php
class Yourvendor_Yourmodule_Block_Review extends Mage_Core_Block_Template 
{
    public function getReviewCollection() { 
        $collection = Mage::getModel('review/review')
            ->getCollection()
            ->addStoreFilter(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId()) 
            ->addStatusFilter(Mage_Review_Model_Review::STATUS_APPROVED)
            ->addEntityFilter('product', $this->getProductId())
            ->setDateOrder('desc');

        return $collection;
    }
}

2. Create template file with following content:

<?php $_collection = $this->getReviewCollection(); ?>
<ul>
<?php foreach ($_collection as $_review): ?>
<li>
    <?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_review->getTitle()); ?>
    <?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_review->getNickname()); ?>
    <?php echo $this->escapeHtml($_review->getDetail()); ?>
</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>
</ul>

3. Put following code into CMS page which represents your homepage content:

{{block type="yourvendor_yourmodule/review" template="namespace/module/review.phtml" product_id="XXX"}}

If you're not developer, this will not going to be easy piece for you.

Re: Product Review on Homepage

Where/how do I create a class? Yourvendor_Yourmodule_Block_Review

What is "Yourvendor_Yourmodule" ?

I understand steps 2 and 3.

Thank you.

Re: Product Review on Homepage

This is not supposed to be done by Merchant, you have to be developer. There is good and really affordable Magento 1 tutorial on https://code.tutsplus.com/courses/magento-fundamentals.

 

In this case, you should add that block into app/code/local/Yourvendor/Yourmodule/Block/Review.php.

 

Also, you need config.xml for this module in app/code/local/Yourvendor/Yourmodule/etc/config.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Yourvendor_Yourmodule>
            <version>0.1.0</version>
        </Yourvendor_Yourmodule>
    </modules>
    <global>
        <blocks>
            <yourvendor_yourmodule>
                <class>Yourvendor_Yourmodule_Block</class>
            </yourvendor_yourmodule>
        </blocks>
    </global>
</config>

And you need modules XML in app/etc/modules/Yourvendor_Yourmodule.xml:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config>
    <modules>
        <Yourvendor_Yourmodule>
            <active>true</active>
            <codePool>local</codePool>
        </Yourvendor_Yourmodule>
    </modules>
</config>
