Virtuemart: editing comment template files - brought to you by sdesign1 - Joomla specialists

This article is based around the Virtuemart plugin for Joomla, you will need FTP access and a text editor to edit your template file.

You can enable customer "comments" or "reviews" by logging into the back-end of Joomla:

  • Go to Components > VirtueMart > Configuration
  • and check the "Enable Customer Review/Rating System" option
  • Click "Save"

When a customer leaves a review it show:

  • Their user name
  • The date the comment was made
  • The review 

To edit the template of the customer review, locate the file:

/components/com_virtuemart/themes/ja-zeolite/templates/common/reviews.tpl.php

Here you can edit the template itself, or add in the following variables:

$review['userid'] => The user ID of the comment author
$review['username'] => The username of the comment author
$review['name'] => The name of the comment author
$review['time'] => The UNIX timestamp of the comment ("when" it was posted)
$review['user_rating'] => The rating; an integer from 1 - 5
$review['comment'] => The comment text

Remember to Save and Upload your file when you finished editing. Your changes will be noticeable as soon as you refresh the page.
