Testimonial Manager Support Thread (for ZC v1.5.x)

This is for Zen Cart v1.5.x
This is the NEW thread for the latest version Testimonial Manager for Zen Cart v1.5.x

NOTE: Testimonial Manager for Zen Cart version 1.5.x is NOT backwards compatible (won't work with v1.3.x versions of Zen Cart)

If you are using Zen Cart v1.3.x:
Please DO NOT post questions regarding the v1.3.x versions of this add-on in this support thread.
Questions regarding the v1.3.x versions of this add-on should be directed to this support thread HERE:

http://www.zen-cart.com/showthread.p...Support-Thread

My support is limited for this add-on I'm just being a good zen cart member and opening another thread for the updated version of Testimonial Manager....

Thanks to all who help support this module.

Submitted new version of this add-on. Details as follows:

• Add an auto installer. (performs fresh installs as well as updates) Some additional housekeeping was done to the install/upgrade SQL (for example the drop if exists statement was removed as it is not needed in either an new or upgrade install.)
• Clean up the "Add Testimonials" form. Removed the ordered list from the form so that the overall look/feel is more consistent with other Zen Cart forms (ie: Contact Us form)
• Update the stylesheet and pages to improve the look/feel of the various pages that make up this add-on
• Cleaned up (replaced) the pixelated quote images
• Replace the required and optional images with cleaner images

Yea!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :clap:

I'm using ZenCart 1.5.x

I had no problems when I added testimonials manager 1.5.3d to my test site, and no end to problems when adding it to my server. I've now got everything working except the admin functions at "configuration > Testimonial Manager". The functions at "tools > Testimonial Manager" work fine, as does the site. However I want to control the number of random testimonials displayed, and although I have 3 testimonials in the database, nothing displays at "configuration > Testimonial Manager".

The Current Issue:
Clicking the link at "configuration > Testimonial Manager" calls for "url...configuration.php?gID=31", and gets me nothing...

On a whim, I changed it to "...configuration.php?gID=32" in the browser address bar and that got me what I needed to manage the testimonials

So the question is how do I fix that gID called by the link? Is there a better place to ask this question?

What Testimonials Manager Version do you have installed on your live server? You said you had 1.5.3d installed on your test site.

Dear Diva, thanks for your contributions, myself installed two of them (TMS and Images Handler), they are very usefull.
The only matter is: what is the file Thumbs.db? I'm not able to open it, can you, please, tell me (us) what there are inside?
Is it the: 'auto installer' you've mentioned above? how does it work?
Thanks you in advance. Luigi

Thanks for the plugin.

Not with the version of the add-on available.. Would require custom coding to add the feature..

Hello,

Im using 1.5.0 and the installation went fine however when i am following the read me: specifically these instructions:
9) This section is entirely optional.
To implement metatags for your testimonials;
open includes/modules/meta_tags.php.
locate the following line of code (around line 336)
// NO "break" here. Allow defaults if not overridden at the per-page level
Immediately above this line copy and paste the code below.
(save the edited file to includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php and upload to your server.

break;
//TESTIMONIALS:
case 'display_all_testimonials':

$sql = "select * from " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . " where status = 1 and language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' order by date_added DESC, testimonials_title";
$testimonials = $db->Execute($sql);
while (!$testimonials->EOF) {
$testimonial_string_metatags .= zen_clean_html($testimonials->fields['testimonials_title']) . METATAGS_DIVIDER;

$testimonials->MoveNext();

} //EOF
define('META_TAG_TITLE', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ALL_TESTIMONIALS . $testimonial_string_metatags);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ALL_TESTIMONIALS . $testimonial_string_metatags);
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ALL_TESTIMONIALS . $testimonial_string_metatags);
break;

case 'testimonials_manager':
define('META_TAG_TITLE', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . zen_trunc_string($page_check->fields['testimonials_html_text'],TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH));
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);

----------------------------



HOWEVER, when I implement this change, I lose the "text" that is at the top of my page above the white bar where you put in the URLs. Sorry for the lack of technical terms, this is the best way to describe it. To illustrate that text, this page im currently on says "V150 Testimonial Manager Support Thread"

Any help as why this is happening would be great!
