Using hooks to display templates

Let's come back to our main goal here: we want to add the possibility for customers to rate and comment on products. We first have to create a form for the customers. In order to avoid HTML code in PHP files, we will use what we learned in the previous chapter:

Create a template for the hook:

views/templates/hook/displayProductTabContent.tpl

Use the display method in the hookDisplayProductTabContent function:

return $this->display(__FILE__, 'displayProductTabContent.tpl');

Then, write a simple form in the displayProductTabContent.tpl template we just created:

<h3 class="page-product-heading">Product Comments</h3>
<div class="rte">
  <form action="" method="POST" id="comment-form">
    <div class="form-group">
      <label for="grade">Grade:</label>
      <div class="row">
        <div class="col-xs-4">
          <select id="grade" class="form-control" name="grade">
            <option value="0"&gt...
