Magento - product reviews not showing on view.phtml

Question

I'm trying to get the product reviews and form showing on the product view page (view.phtml) I've looked at some forum posts and tried:

Finding in catalog.xml

<catalog_product_view translate="label">

And looking for the content:

<reference name="content"> 

In here I have entered the code:

<block type="review/product_view_list" name="product.info.product_additional_data" as="reviews" template="review/product/view/list.phtml"/>

<block type="review/product_view_list" name="product.info.product_additional_data" as="product_additional_data" template="review/product/view/list.phtml">
                <block type="review/form" name="product.review.form" as="review_form">
                    <block type="page/html_wrapper" name="product.review.form.fields.before" as="form_fields_before" translate="label">
                        <label>Review Form Fields Before</label>
                        <action method="setMayBeInvisible"><value>1</value></action>
                    </block>
                </block>
 </block>

In view.phtml I have added

<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('product_additional_data') ?>
<?php echo $this->getChildHtml('reviews') ?>

I get an empty are where this is suppose to show the review information. I have tabs working what I want to do it just show the review form and reviews in that tab.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Answer 1

I'm not sure why it is but I had the same problem. It worked for me when I referenced the review form and reviews inside the product view part of the catalog.xml like this.

    <block type="review/product_view_list" name="review.product_view_list" as="product_view_list" template="review/product/view/list.phtml"/>
   <block type="review/form" name="product.review.form" as="review_form" />

I called them from view.phtml like this

    <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('review_form') ?>
    <?php echo $this->getChildHtml('product_view_list') ?>

Hope it helps

Edit local.xml

<catalog_product_view>
    <reference name="content">
        <block type="review/product_view_list" name="review.product_view_list" as="product_view_list" template="review/product/view/list.phtml"/>
        <block type="review/form" name="product.review.form" as="review_form" />
    </reference>
</catalog_product_view>

view.phtml

<?php foreach ($this->getChildGroup('detailed_info', 'getChildHtml') as $alias => $html):?>
    <div class="box-collateral <?php echo "box-{$alias}"?>">
        <?php if ($title = $this->getChildData($alias, 'title')):?>
            <h2><?php echo $this->escapeHtml($title); ?></h2>
        <?php endif;?>
        <?php echo $html; ?>
    </div>
<?php endforeach;?>
