Disabling Review/Comment system

Admin should allow disabling whole Review/Comment system.

For large catalog sites, low traffic, that can be lethal.

For high traffic sites, probably not needed. (Yeah, Amazon uses, I know.)

Meanwhile, since I did it once but forgot how, tell where the {feature} can be deleted.

A ha! Answer is to delete lines from viewProd.tpl.

Am I stuck with this review feature then? It's a total waste space on my site.

As above

Hi,

Could you be a little more specific please. I'm not a coder and don't need this feature. Please can you let me know exactly what lines I need to delete.

Thanks in advance

Yeah, I would like to know which lines to delete as well :)

I don't have much use for this feature with my store.. :)

I removed these chunks of code from the file /skins/<YOUR SKIN>/styleTemplates/content/viewProd.tpl

	<!-- BEGIN: reviews_true -->

<!-- BEGIN: review_stars -->

<img src="skins/{VAL_SKIN}/styleImages/icons/rating/{VAL_STAR}.gif" width="15" height="15" />

<!-- END: review_stars -->

<a href="index.php?_a=viewProd&amp;productId={PRODUCT_ID}&amp;review=read#read_review" target="_self" class="txtDefault">{LANG_BASED_ON_X_REVIEWS}</a>

<!-- END: reviews_true -->

<!-- BEGIN: reviews_false -->

<a href="index.php?_a=viewProd&amp;productId={PRODUCT_ID}&amp;review=write#write_review" target="_self" class="txtDefault">{LANG_FIRST_TO_REVIEW}</a>

<!-- END: reviews_false -->

		<!-- BEGIN: read_reviews -->

<li class="bulletLrg"><a href="index.php?_a=viewProd&amp;productId={PRODUCT_ID}&amp;review=read#read_review" target="_self" class="txtDefault">{LANG_READ_REVIEWS}</a></li>

<!-- END: read_reviews -->

<li class="bulletLrg"><a href="index.php?_a=viewProd&amp;productId={PRODUCT_ID}&amp;review=write#write_review" target="_self" class="txtDefault">{LANG_WRITE_REVIEWS}</a></li>

And that seems to have removed it.
