Magento Reviews: Calling back values from custom added fields

Question

I followed the link below and added additional text field to magento review.

Add additional text field to magento review

I have tested that values for the custom fields can be successfully posted and stored in the database and appearing at backend as well. However I am having trouble calling back this value out to frontend.

I used the code below to call it back, but nothing is showing.

<span><?php echo $this->__('<h2>%s</h2>', $this->escapeHtml($_review->getFname())) ?></span>

What step was lacking or done wrong?

Answer 1

Review has no EAV model and if you want to add new fields - you need to upgrade your rating table to achieve that.

Could you show where do you store this value, if you tell that the value exists in database.
