Adding Product Ratings and Reviews.

Hello!

I would love to add product ratings and reviews to my site per the article (Velo Tutorial: Adding Ratings and Reviews to a Wix Stores Site | Help Center | Wix.com).

However, this looks fairly complex and it’s quite clear you have to study the library of code before you even get to that article as it’s NOT a step-by-step guide. There’s lots of assumed knoweldge there.

I don’t have the hours/days/weeks to study Wix Code, sadly. (Nor do I want to!) Has anyone had a go at doing this or aware of any video articles that can walk me through it? It’s quite frustrating.

Thanks!

Luke

If you look at the bottom of that guide under Next Steps, there is a link:

Open this example in the Editor to work with the template.

This link takes you to a sample Wix Editor which will have all the code and pages all setup for you to go over and look at, basically it has all been done for you!

If you are still struggling then simply search the forum using the search bar top right as this has been asked many times before.

https://www.wix.com/code/home/example/Shop-Reviews
https://www.wix.com/code/home/example/Reviews
These links above will again give you a Wix Editor sample that you can open and use.

Although I will point out a simple fact, if as you stated in your forum post above, that you don’t have the time to learn about Wix Code - and nether do you want to either - then you are not really doing yourself any favours and you won’t be learning anything yourself.

The only way you actually learn is to sit through it and do it all yourself, the more knowledge you can gain by doing it all yourself, then the easier Wix Code will become for you!

If you are not prepared to learn anything about Wix Code yourself, then why are you asking people to help you and not just get somebody else to do it all for you, like a Wix Designer?

It is only frustrating if you let it be, sit down, spend time to go through it all and it will become much easier once you know how it all works…

Hey givemeawhisky.

Thanks for your help.

The “this example” link works beautifully, all done for you.

I can’t seem to transfer the settings from this template though over to my own website. Is there a way to do that, do you know? Otherwise, what would you recommend?

Thanks,

Luke

All working swimmingly now!

Only thing that’s not is the “Time Published” stamp. Instead of stamping the time and date of the review it simply says the text field “time published”.

code:

let date = itemData._createdDate; $w(‘#submissionTime’).text = date.toLocaleString(); }

any ideas?
