Reviews Component Layout

Overview

This category is used for both site testimonials and product reviews. It replaces the older Testimonials category (see Upgrade Notes below).

Template Set: reviews, then set the appropriate component layout for either product reviews or testimonials (the default is the main product reviews). (Note: early framework sites may have the template set to product-reviews, but we want to transition away from this.)

Category component identifier:

The product reviews category must have a component identifier of “reviews”

If you want to have separate product reviews and testimonial categories, the testimonials category should have its own component identifier, like “testimonials” (though it can be anything you like).

IMPORTANT: Upgrade Notes

These things need to be done when upgrading a site using the old Testimonials category:

- product_name from Testimonials needs to be moved to custom2
- custom1 from Testimonials needs to be moved to custom4

reviews/default

  • The product_list page can include both product reviews and testimonials.
  • The images on reviews are inserted based on the product_id stored in custom1

reviews/full-width-title-2col-reviews

  • Uses its own columns.html, otherwise uses default layouts

reviews/noform

  • Uses its own columns.html that has no sidebar, otherwise uses default layouts

reviews/testimonials

  • Has its own columns, category and product templates

reviews/testimonials-modalform

  • A script in columns.html adds a Submit a Testimonial button to the right of the H1 title
  • The modal form is inserted in columns.html from _inserts/testimonialform_modal.html
  • Has its own columns.html
  • Has its own product_cell, product_list and product_detail, but these are identical to the ones in reviews/testimonials

reviews/full-width-title-2col-testimonials

  • Has its own columns.html
  • Has its own product_cell and product_detail, though these are identical to the reviews/testimonials set
