Magento 1.9 – Adding Review Form to Product Page

magento-1.9product-viewreviewrwd

I'm looking to move the product review form from /review/product/list/ to the product page, underneath existing reviews, on Magento 1.9.0.1 using a child theme of RWD.

This is the original review tab in review.xml:

    <catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="product.info">
        <block type="review/product_view_list" name="product.reviews" as="reviews" template="review/product/view/list.phtml" after="additional">
            <action method="addToParentGroup"><group>detailed_info</group></action>
            <action method="setTitle" translate="value"><value>Reviews</value></action>
        </block>
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>

This displays the reviews and form on the product page:

    <catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="product.info">
                <block type="review/product_view_list" name="product.info.product_additional_data" as="product_additional_data" template="review/product/view/list.phtml">
                <block type="review/form" name="product.review.form" as="review_form">
                    <block type="page/html_wrapper" name="product.review.form.fields.before" as="form_fields_before" translate="label">
                        <label>Review Form Fields Before</label>
                        <action method="setMayBeInvisible"><value>1</value></action>
                    </block>
                </block>
            </block>
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>

How do I put this into the 'reviews' tab?

You are going into the right direction, but you need to do some modifications:

addToParentGroup and setTitle are used to show content in review so add this code below

<action method="addToParentGroup"><group>detailed_info</group></action>
<action method="setTitle" translate="value"><value>Reviews</value></action>

you need to change block alias name of block type review/product_view_list to product_additional_data_review as product_additional_data alias name already exists in product.

<block type="review/product_view_list" name="product.info.product_additional_data_review" as="product_additional_data_review" template="review/product/view/list.phtml">
    <action method="addToParentGroup"><group>detailed_info</group></action>
    <action method="setTitle" translate="value"><value>Reviews</value></action>

    <block type="review/form" name="product.review.form" as="review_form">
        <block type="page/html_wrapper" name="product.review.form.fields.before" as="form_fields_before" translate="label">
            <label>Review Form Fields Before</label>
            <action method="setMayBeInvisible"><value>1</value></action>
        </block>
    </block>
</block>

So what actually happens is that the layout handle review_product_list which also includes the normal catalog view but with a different main block type:

<block type="review/product_view" name="product.info" template="catalog/product/view.phtml">

Now this block has a different function getReviewsSummaryHtml which will use different blocks to display the reviews and that is why you are getting different review templates for the two pages.

Not sure why this is, but I found that by including this <?php $_product = Mage::registry('product'); ?> above the code mentioned in the question. I was able to get it to work. I also moved all the code to it's own .phtml file so that it would only be included on the product view page by adding a couple lines to the local.xml Like so.

<catalog_product_view translate="label">
     <reference name="product.info">
        <block type="core/template" name="reviewCountTabBlock" template="catalog/product/view/tabs/review_count.phtml" />
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>

Then on the view.phtml I added this:

    <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('reviewCountTabBlock') ?>

and in the new template catalog/product/view/tabs/review_count.phtml I added this:

    <?php $_product = Mage::registry('product'); ?>
<?php 
    // Add this code to get review count
    //$summary         = $this->getReviewsSummaryHtml($_product, false, true); 
    $reviewcount     = $_product->getRatingSummary()->getReviewsCount(); 
    $this->getLayout()->getBlock('product.info.tabs')->setReviewCount($reviewcount);
?>

And that cleaned everything up. I hope this helps others.
