how do I allow more than one review?

[Ginger2]

I want my site viewers to be able to post more than one review for a single "product". Right now RP does not enable this feature. I tried looking through the admin options and couldn't find anything. Is there some code I can edit to make this so (I don't feel like doing the searching )

You would have to modify the code to remove the one review restriction; something that falls outside the scope of support offered here.

If you look for the code in reviews.php that checks for a previous review and comment it out, then you should be able to post multiple reviews. Might I suggest http://www.photopostdev.com as the resource for discussing code modification which are not covered by PhotoPost support.

Can I suggest this be added to the suggestions list for RP3? I would expect it to either allow multiple reviews by the same member by default (since reviews are often used like a message board with interaction between members e.g. comments on reviews) or have a switch to turn it on/off.
Personally I would expect the majority of boards to activate it.

I agree, would be nice to be an option. My users are rating hotels, on many ocassions they would stay more than once.

I was kind of hoping you would point me to the correct line of code...guess I'll try the other board.

For anyone who wants to do this, I figured it out. Just comment out the below section around line 137 in review.php:

// Did they already rate?
/*if ( empty($cedit) ) {
$query = "SELECT id, rating FROM {$Globals['rp_db_prefix']}reviews WHERE product=$product AND userid={$User['userid']}";
$resultb = ppmysql_query($query,$link);

$alreadyrated = 0;
while( list( $rateid, $checkrating ) = mysql_fetch_row($resultb) ) {
if ( $rateid > 0 ) {
diewell( $Globals['pp_lang']['dupe'] );
}
}
ppmysql_free_result($resultb);
}*/

I don't think just commenting out that block does it. I think you need to comment out this one too:

if ( $checkid > 0 ) diewell( $Globals['pp_lang']['dupe'] );

What does "commenting out" mean??? How would I do it?

Please reply soon.
