X-Cart forums

I originally posted this under 'Products' but I think it belongs here - sorry, I'm not trying to cross-post...

I have a client with a current OSC cart, and I'm migrating them to X-Cart. They have a feature they want me to implement and I don't know how to do it.

The client's OSC cart currently has a commenting feature where the client can:

1. Choose a product from a dropdown list
2. Type in a comment related to that product
3. Enter the commenter's initials or name
4. Enter the commenter's location
5. Choose whether the comment is displayed or not

Then for each product that has a comment attached, that comment is shown on the product's info page. You can see that here, where there are a bunch of comments in boxes below the product info text:

http://www.cottonwoodpress.com/produ...roducts_id=157

Can I do something like this in X-Cart? The client doesn't want to use product reviews, OR would use reviews if they can enter them themselves and not have users enter them, if that makes sense. In short, the client wants a product commenting system that's completely handled on their end, no automatic submissions.

1. look at the BCS Engineering review bundle...
2. instead of making reviews availale to the customers, make it only visible to admin -- {if $usertype eq "A"}review input section code{/if}

So -- basically, you get the power of the built-in review module, coupled with the admin power of the BCSE mod, and only visible to admins.

This is the fast, easy, cheap solution. It does not give you the "one page" interface -- but this would mean the admin goes to the product page, then enters the review, then uses the admin to "approve" the review.

This is one way to accomplish this. Of course, it could be custom coded -- considering BCS has already invested considerable time in their review mods, they'd be my first call for a custom mod to the review system.

Hope this helps.

This seems like it might work nicely, thanks.
