Hey there!

I think thats a bug at least I can't find a way to make it work.
Easily it's the following - just go to a product - go into the details and click the tab for review.
Write a review.
For me a message comes up :

Error: Review Name must be greater than 3 and less than 25 characters!

Even if the name has more then 3 characters this comes up and can't post a review.

Review from backend works fine.

cheers

Are you using special characters?

ahem... no. no special charachters.

If I just type lets say "aaaaaaaa" or "55555555" or a acombination or whatever.... I always get the same error.

Error: Review Name must be greater than 3 and less than 25 characters!

works for me

Hi Daniel,

I tried it n different browsers - even on mac on an other machine with always the same result.

Any suggestions? Maybee some option in the backend? Maybee a server setting?

No clue here

maybe you have a space in your langUAGE files.


post a link to your site.

Hi Daniel,

a space... don't know mate.
This is the link to a product. Just try to write a review:

I have followed your link and see what you mean. I got the same error report.

However - the review option working fine on my v1.4.0 store so don't think this is a genuine bug. Sorry not to be more helpful, but it seems like something at your end!

possibly the Cufon script.

that's not it.

I deactivated the cufon script - negative.

I thought to try my luck by reiinstalling partially files of opencart as languages and so on. As I see you released 1.4.2 I'm using 1.4.1. Can I just replace files or not?

cheers

you can.

I have the latest OC, Problem: When a review is posted it says "Error: Review Name must be between 3 and 25 characters!" even though there are normal characters in the name.
I see other people are having the problem but no solutions (that I can find) does anyone know the fix??
(ps - OC has to be the best shopping cart system I have seen from customer AND admin, keep up the great work guys).

i have the same problem, i dont know how to fix it, if anyone can help please do!!

I'm having no problems with a clean 1.4.9.4 and the default theme.

Has this problem been solved? I'm having the same problem for two of my opencart based websites.

Having the same problem - seems to be going around. I am using

Version 1.4.9.3

of the sweetest little cart I know...

I know this is a really old post but I came across the same problem today and found the answer. When I debugged the code I found that the JSON was trying to send an empty name field even when the field had something entered into it. It turned out that the newsletter mod which I had installed was also making use of an input field with the same name, and obviously this was always empty when trying to send a review, hence the error message.

The simple fix was to replace the following in /catalog/view/theme/default/template/product/product.tpl: with this: and then in the JSON part at the end of the same file, to replace: with this: Thus changing the field names used from name to revname. This allowed both the reviews and newsletter mod to coexist happily together. Hope that helps someone else in the same situation.

Thanks,
Kman.

just added a fix on the svn.

Sorry for bring an old thread up but I was experiencing this error, thank you so much for the fix, it worked perfectly

thekman, thanks for posting your fix. I had the same problem with a OC 1.5.3.1

I replaced the code using Notepad, uploaded, and it fixed it perfectly
