Default display customer reviews out of tabs

Is there a way to pull customer reviews out of tabs on product page?

I have tabs enabled and do like having "Send to friend", etc. in tabs but would like to display reviews below tabs.

I looked in the module files but didn't see where it tells it to display in tabs,
product_details template only says "if tabs are enabled" than tabs_ui template uses "foreach" statement to display extra items (including reviews obviously).

Is this controlled somewhere in core files?
Anyone knows which files?

Thanks.

Default Re: display customer reviews out of tabs

in common_files/customer/main/product.tpl comment out
Code:
{*{if $product_tabs} {if $show_as_tabs} {include file="customer/main/ui_tabs.tpl" prefix="product-tabs-" mode="inline" tabs=$product_tabs} {else} {foreach from=$product_tabs item=tab key=ind} {include file=$tab.tpl} {/foreach} {/if} {/if}*}

And add this below this code....
Code:
{include file="customer/main/send_to_friend.tpl"} {include file="modules/Recommended_Products/recommends.tpl"} {include file="modules/Customer_Reviews/vote_reviews.tpl"}

Hope that works

Default Re: display customer reviews out of tabs

Thanks but that takes all 3 modules out of tabs, I'd like to keep "Send to friend" and "Recommended products" in tabs but display only reviews separate/below tabs.

Is there a way to control individual modules to go in tabs or not?

Which file determines this?
Like I said I looked in the Reviews module files but did not see anything so it must be somewhere in core files I assume.

I guess I could hard code ui_tabs and just include modules I want to show but I'm not sure what other modules can be displayed in tabs if enabled so I'd like to keep original ui_tabs code but modify Reviews module itself (or wherever the code for it is) to not display in tabs, if possible.

Thanks.

Unfortunately QT hard coded the tabs. You need to modify include/product_tabs.php and comment out the code for recommended products

Code:
if (!empty($active_modules['Recommended_Products']) && !empty($recommends)) { $product_tabs[] = array( 'title' => func_get_langvar_by_name('txt_recommends_comment'), 'tpl' => 'modules/Recommended_Products/recommends.tpl', 'anchor' => 'recommends' ); }

then in product.tpl add

Code:
{include file="modules/Recommended_Products/recommends.tpl"}

below the tabs code

Thank you Steve

I was wondering where that code is

So I guess it might be better to just hard code tabs content in tabs template (in the theme) to keep core files not edited/hacked as much as possible for future upgrading?
Does that makes sense or does it matter, I guess as long as I keep notes on which files were edited should be ok.

What do you suggest?
Hack tpl files if possible and if not than hack core php files?

Thanks.

Powertrain,

WinMerge is a useful tool to compare template files and easily find the changes you've made. It was mentioned in another thread here.
