Previous Top Next

The Review List control is used on the product detail page and consists of the following tag:

<StokesWeb:ReviewList id="reviewlist" PageSize="5" ProductID='<%# DataBinder.Eval(Product,"ProductID") %>' runat="server" />

The following parameters can be used with it:

ProductID - This is an integer and sets which product to use. This corresponds to the Product uid number.

ImageAltText - This is the text shown when you mouse over the rating image. It defaults to "[rating] out of 5 stars with [reviewcount] review[s]" where [rating] is replaced by the products rating, [reviewcount] is replaced by the number of reviews and [s] is replaced by an s if there is more than 1 review.

SendEmail - This can be either True or False (default is True). This sets whether or not to send a confirmation email to the administrator of the website to alert them that a new review has been posted and needs approval.

ConfirmEmail - This is the email address to which the administration confirmation email is sent. The default is the primary email address set in the merchant tools.

ConfirmEmailSubject - This is the subject line of the administration confirmation email. The default is "A Review has been submitted for approval.".

PageSize - This is the number of reviews to show per page. The default is 5

PagingStats - This is the text shown in the paging section stating which reviews are being show and how many total reviews there are. The default text is "Viewing [start]-[finish] of [total] Review[s].    Page [pagenumber] of [pagetotal]."

UpdateTagline - This is the text that is appended to the review automatically if someone edits their review. The default is " (Updated on [date].)" where [date] is replaced by the current date. This can be set to "" to disable the feature.

To further customize the control open the controls/reviewlist.ascx file. There you can customize the look of the control. You can also change the css styles by modifying the reviewstyles.css file.
