product review ranking appearing in search results

[johnbiggscr]

We have just started testing the customer review module from Lexiconn.
We decided to go the route of creating dummy 'parent' products and adding the real products as subproducts to the relevant parent ones so that we can use one parent model type SKU representing all the subproducts for customer reviews.
We also use a customized search routine that will of course return each individual product, rather than just the parent one, but we would like to be able to show the parent star rating on each product.
I figure one way would be to put the parent SKU in a extra product field for each one and have the search read that and display the parent rating.

What we need help with however is figuring out just what the code is to display just the star rating for a specific product rather than display the full reviews. (I hope all that made sense)
Anyone any clues?



we are using pro11 sp1 r2

You would have to modify the Product section of the Search template to include the code for the "review summary," per Lexiconn's instructions here:

http://support.lexiconn.com/kb/questions/266/Installation+%7B47%7D+Usage+Instructions

Basically, the code is:

Code: Select all

<?php readfile("http://www.your_domain.com/reviews/summary.php/[-- PRODUCT.SKU --]"); ?>

(PHP-parsed pages)

or

Code: Select all

<!--#include virtual="/reviews/summary.php/[-- PRODUCT.SKU --]" -->

(SSI-parsed pages)

Thanks for the response BFChris.
Lexiconn host our shopsite sites and actually spotted I had posted this question and have been working with me Friday and Today to get this and various other aspects of it working.
I tell you, I have never had the level of customer support as I get with those guys, I can't speak highly enough of them.

Yes, Lexiconn's service is second-to-none. If everyone I had to deal with was like them, my life would be so much easier and more efficient.

Glad you got it working.
