How to add product reviews progmatically

Question

I want to add product reviews programatically with some custom fields defined on my code below

$review = Mage::getModel('review/review')
->setEntityPkValue(intval($pressquote->product_id)) //product id
->setStatusId(intval($pressquote->status))
->setDetail($pressquote->text)
->setTitle('')
->setEntityId(1)                     
->setStatusId(intval($pressquote->status))          //approved
->setCustomerId(null)                       //null is for administrator
->setNickname($pressquote->source)
->setLink($pressquote->link)                            //custom field
->setLinktext($pressquote->linktext)                   //custom field
->setYear($pressquote->year)                            //custom field
->setStoreId(1)                                          
->setStores(array('base'))                              
->save();

but it doesn't work for me.. I checked my code and it stops on save(). What went wrong? I tried already removing the custom fields but nothing happened

Answer 1

// Invoke the Magento environment

require_once 'app/Mage.php';
Mage::app();

// Set up your own loop to to go through the reviews from the source cart.

// Logic to look up customer that has already been migrated into magento. // So you have $_customer holding a Mage_Customer_Model_Customer

// IMPORTANT: Set up customer session. // the rating/option model resource checks the customer session to get the customer ID.

$_session = Mage::getSingleton('customer/session')->setCustomer($_customer)->setCustomerAsLoggedIn($_customer);

// Add the review

$_review = Mage::getModel('review/review');
->setEntityPkValue($_product->getId())
->setStatusId($sc_to_mage_review_status[$row_source_review['Status']])
->setTitle($row_source_review['Title'])
->setDetail($row_source_review['Review'])
->setEntityId(1)
->setStoreId($store)
->setStores(array($store))
->setCustomerId($_customer->getId())
->setNickname($_customer->getFirstname())
->save();

// Map your rating_id to your option_id with an array or something

$rating_options = array(
1 => array(1,2,3,4,5), // <== Look at your database table `rating_option` for these vals
2 => array(6,7,8,9,10),
3 => array(11,12,13,14,15)
);

// Now save the ratings

foreach($rating_options as $rating_id => $option_ids):
try {
    $_rating = Mage::getModel('rating/rating')
        ->setRatingId($rating_id)
        ->setReviewId($_review->getId())
        ->addOptionVote($option_ids[$rating_value-1],$_product->getId());
} catch (Exception $e) {
    die($e->getMessage());
}
endforeach;

$review = Mage::getModel('review/review');
$review->setEntityPkValue(147);//product id
$review->setStatusId(1); // approved
$review->setTitle("title");
$review->setDetail("detail");
$review->setEntityId(1);                                      
$review->setStoreId(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId());                    
$review->setCustomerId(273);//null is for administrator
$review->setNickname("Me");
$review->setReviewId($review->getId());
$review->setStores(array(Mage::app()->getStore()->getId()));                    
$review->save();

$review->aggregate();
