    Posted: 04-April-2013 at 6:24pm

We LOVE the review reminder feature and how it's enabled us to quickly build relevant page content at little cost to us. One problem, though, is that when a customer clicks on the link in the reminder email they are directly to a page on our website with a form into which their first and last names are pre-entered.

Most don't double check this, and not infrequently I find myself getting an email from a concerned customer who is requesting their name be removed. I   have gone to trying to remember to manually remove last names each time I approve reviews-  but feel like ProductCart should not, by default, be posting our customer's full names on product reviews.

I would suggest that instead of "first name last name" the format be "First Name Last Name Initial" or just ["First name" from "shipping state"]

Hi Lindsay,
    That's a great suggestion and should be easy to implement. I'll add it to our "To Do" list.

Any updates on the implementation of this feature? I'm still hand editing each review. Confused

In pc/prv_postreview.asp, find
pcStrCustName = rs("name") & " " & rs("lastName")
and for first name only, change to:
pcStrCustName = rs("name")
or for first name + last initial:
pcStrCustName = rs("name") & " " & left(rs("lastName"),1)
However, keep in mind that this value gets stored as a session variable and will display in other places such as the customer account page (custpref.asp) ... so, it might be best to go with just first name.
