Magento2: how to delete summary field from review form

Question

I want delete filed Summary from reviews product form.

In file vendor/magento/module-review/view/frontend/templates/form.phtml

I comment line:

<div class="field review-field-summary required">
 <label for="summary_field" class="label"><span><?= $block->escapeHtml(__('Summary')) ?></span></label>
 <div class="control">
 <input type="text" name="title" id="summary_field" class="input-text" data-validate="{required:false}" data-bind="value: review().title" />
 </div>
</div>

Currently, the "Summary" field is not displayed. But when trying to add reviews, I get an error that I need to fill this field. How to solve it?

I try delete this filed from reviews form: https://prnt.sc/o2v4w0

I delete this in form.html and now not displayed: https://prnt.sc/o2v56q

But when I try add review: https://prnt.sc/o2v5kl Then error because system still required this field.

Answer 1

You can achieve your requirement by creating a module with name STech_Review by following steps:

Step 1: Create Registration.php under

app/code/STech/Review/registration.php

with content

<?php
\Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::register(
 \Magento\Framework\Component\ComponentRegistrar::MODULE,
 'STech_Review',
 __DIR__
);

Step 2: Create module.xml under

app/code/STech/Review/etc/module.xml

with content

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="../../../../../lib/internal/Magento/Framework/Module/etc/module.xsd">
 <module name="STech_Review" setup_version="0.0.1">
 <sequence>
 <module name="Magento_Review"/>
 <module name="Magento_Catalog"/>
 </sequence>
 </module>
</config>

Step 3: Create di.xml under

app/code/STech/Review/etc/di.xml

with content

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
 <preference for="Magento\Review\Model\Review" type="STech\Review\Model\Review"/>
</config>

Step 4: Create Review.php under

app/code/STech/Review/Model/Review.php

with content

<?php
namespace STech\Review\Model;
class Review extends \Magento\Review\Model\Review
{
 public function validate()
 {
 $errors = [];
 if (!\Zend_Validate::is($this->getNickname(), 'NotEmpty')) {
 $errors[] = __('Please enter a nickname.');
 }
 if (!\Zend_Validate::is($this->getDetail(), 'NotEmpty')) {
 $errors[] = __('Please enter a review.');
 }
 if (empty($errors)) {
 return true;
 }
 return $errors;
 }
}

Finally you need to alter the table review_details by changing field title to optional(Nullable true).

Thats it. Run setup:upgrade, di:compile and other required commands and test.

• Sylvester: Ok but this magento module is located at: vendor/magento/module-review/ not in app/code.
• Sukumar Gorai: Yes I am asking you to create own module and override in this way.
• Sukumar Gorai: Are you getting my point?
• Sylvester: I add this code in app/code after setup:upgrade and deploy no result. Still required this field
• Sukumar Gorai: Did you create complete module? Or only added these codes?

Answer 2

Try to add a default value for summary in your controller file before saving review. This is mandatory field in review model. Else you can modify models to make it non-mandatory. Best way to set some default value so that it get saved but we can manage the output at frontend.

• Sylvester: in which file controlller is located this file?

Answer 3

Magento validates for the required fields of the review form in the /vendor/magento/module-review/Model/Review.php file.

First, you need to override this file. To do so, create a file app/code/Vendor/Module/etc/di.xml and write the following code in it:

<?xml version="1.0"?>
<config xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance" xsi:noNamespaceSchemaLocation="urn:magento:framework:ObjectManager/etc/config.xsd">
 <preference for="Magento\Review\Model\Review" type="Vendor\Module\Model\Review"/>
</config>

Next, create the Model file app/code/Vendor/Module/Model/Review.php and put the following code in this file:

<?php
namespace Vendor\Module\Model;
class Review extends \Magento\Review\Model\Review
{
 public function validate()
 {
 $errors = [];
 if (!\Zend_Validate::is($this->getNickname(), 'NotEmpty')) {
 $errors[] = __('Please enter a nickname.');
 }
 if (!\Zend_Validate::is($this->getDetail(), 'NotEmpty')) {
 $errors[] = __('Please enter a review.');
 }
 if (empty($errors)) {
 return true;
 }
 return $errors;
 }
}

Note: I assume that you know how to create a basic module in Magento 2.
