I would like to add a statement to customer reviews that says "Be the first to review this product!" if there are no reviews yet. I currently have this if statement added, but can't seem to get it to work:

{if $config.Customer_Reviews.customer_voting eq "Y"} {include file="modules/Customer_Reviews/votes.tpl"}{else}{$lng.lbl_be_first} {/if}

Here is a sample product page:

Anyone have an idea how to do this? While I am at it, how about showing the number of reviews next to a product?

There is already default text in there when there are no reviews - it says 'no reviews' I believe. Just change that language variable to say 'Be the first to review this product!'

Uh, duh... why didn't I do this 18 months ago?

GREAT suggestion!

That's why they pay me the big bucks. Ha!

Thanks for the help. I guess what I meant to say was how to you do the same thing for the voting. I copied the rating stars and placed them right below the description, but nothing shows unless someone votes. I would like it to say "Be the...." here.

I think I am very close to figuring this out, but haven't figured what $vote should not equal. Here is the equation:

{if $vote ne ""}{include file="modules/Customer_Reviews/votes.tpl"}{else}{$lng.lbl_be_first} {/if} - THIS ALLOWS THE LABEL TO SHOW UP, BUT NOT THE VOTES.

If you change {if $vote ne ""} to {if $vote ne "0"} the votes show up, but the label doesn't show.

Any advice?
