Product comments default as 5 stars instead?

[Pressed0024]

If customers gives product comment but did not rate with the stars, the review gets 3 stars out of 5 by default. This isn't great because customer left a good review and we still get 5 stars.

 

Which part of the productcomment module should we edit so that the default star rating for each Criterion is 5 stars?

Good morning

 

Using PS 1.5.5 default theme

 

I assume you are trying to make the default "star" rating = 5 stars, if so go to:

 

public_html/your store/your theme/modules/productcomments/productcomments.tpl

 

and find:

 

{if $criterions|@count > 0}

<ul id="criterions_list">

{foreach from=$criterions item='criterion'}

<li>

<label>{$criterion.name|escape:'html':'UTF-8'}:</label>

<div class="star_content">

<input class="star" type="radio" name="criterion[{$criterion.id_product_comment_criterion|round}]" value="1" />

<input class="star" type="radio" name="criterion[{$criterion.id_product_comment_criterion|round}]" value="2" />

<input class="star" type="radio" name="criterion[{$criterion.id_product_comment_criterion|round}]" value="3" checked="checked" />

<input class="star" type="radio" name="criterion[{$criterion.id_product_comment_criterion|round}]" value="4" />

<input class="star" type="radio" name="criterion[{$criterion.id_product_comment_criterion|round}]" value="5" />

</div>

<div class="clearfix"></div>

</li>

{/foreach}

</ul>

{/if}

 

Move the checked="checked to the value="5" line

Hope this helps

ps. It would be a good idea to copy/paste file to an editor first (just in case)
