write a review without registering

[Shophere]

I have been trying to enable visitors to write reviews without registering and have finally found a way.

It has turned out to be rather simple! (almost to simple)

You need to hack the code in review.php

Remove the code from line 141 to 145

and that's it - I have tested it and the review I wrote (without registering) was waiting for me to be approved in the admin section and once approved showed up in the detail page - as it should

I would be interested if any one else gives it a go

I'll have to try this hack.. I sure hope it works

cause it would be a great hack...

brb.. with my reviews..

man, now we can call you a hacker. woo hooo

[vertygo]

Could you copy and paste the code lines you mean, just to be exact?

Thanks

There's a problem.

I'm nost sure people know which version you are talking about.

3.0.2 or 3.0.3

There's a slight difference although, I figured it out..

I'm not sure why my reviews aren't showing up thou..

couldn't get this to work, can you be more specific.

[Shophere]

Here is the review.php with the changes made

I have removed the following section:

if (empty($COOKIE_USERNAME)) {
$url = urlencode('http://'.$HTTP_ENV_VARS["HTTP_HOST"].$HTTP_ENV_VARS["REQUEST_URI"]);
header("Location: login.php?b=$url&f=1");
}

You can up load the attached review.txt which is a copy of what I am using. You will need to rename it "review.php" (but back up a copy of your exixting review.php - in case it does not work)

I have only removed the section which tells the script what do do if there is no username located in the cookie, so rather than it taking you to the login page it should take you straight to the review.php page

Let me know how you get on

Cheers

PS: I am using V3.02

[Shophere]

Just had a quick look at V3.03 and the line numbers are different

the equivalent lines are 147 to 151- (these are the lines to be removed)

Sorry can't test it as i am still running V3.02
