Thank you

I posted instructions a few pages back on how to show first name only (no last initial). I'm not sure how to get the last initial, but I'm sure it's possible if you know php better than I do.
It has been updated and is in downloads.
It will only work for new testimonials, it will not work for those already in the database. What it does is it removes the call to store the last name when the person initially writes the testimonial, so anyone who has already written one already had their last name stored.
Thank you for your mod. It's working fine on my shop. But I have got a problem when I try to translate the language files from english to chinese. It shows random charts. "�̶��˷� �̶��˷�"
Can you help me please, I have no idear where went wrong.
Reply to my own question, finally I found a way to change the Meta Tittle for different testimonial posted and also different Meta Tittle for list of all testimonial. Hopefully this would help to prevent google note it as duplicated content because of same .html page with different ?value behind.
Example for testimonials_manager_all_testimonials
Instead of showing as All Testimonials as page tittle. now it show Testimonial 1 to 6 on page 1, Testimonial 7 to 12 on page 2.
While testimonials_manager.html?testimonials_id= showing individual testimonial, the tittle will be Testimonial by Name. So all pages of testimonials having different tittle.
Result is google webmaster tools -> HTML improvement no longer listed testimonial manager files as Duplicate title tags and Duplicate meta descriptions(I set title as meta). I am not sure the coding that I did is it correct and compliant with zen cart but you do can visit my store link as below. Do let me know your feedback. Thank you.
Finally got a chance to install the latest version on a client site, and found a few things that did not make sense. The readme says:
The issue is that NO WHERE in any of the files is the testimonial class found. The testimonialImage class is found in the tpl_display_all_testimonials_default.php file. Second I wondered why would this be added to the MAIN stylesheet version the page specific stylesheets that come with this add-on.. Didn't make sense..:no:Quote:
Add the following declarations to your /includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/stylesheet.css file:
.testimonial {
color: #000;
padding: 0 5px 5px 5px;
text-align:left;
}
.testimonial p {
margin: 0; padding: 5px 0;
}
.testimonial span {
float:right;
}
.testimonialImage {
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}
Secondly, the includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_manager_default.php feels "incomplete" (the testimonials do not show on this page) and unnecessary.. I do not understand the purpose of this page and I deleted this file and the corresponding stylesheet (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/testimonials_manager.css) as well.
I made a boatload of cosmetic changes to make the Add Testimonials form look more like the Contact Us form to maintain look/feel consistency within a site (for example: I never liked or understood why the Add Testimonial form fields were inside an ordered list). Shopowners who want to make this form look different can add the appropriate styles to the stylesheet, but an out the box install should require a boatload of work to make the form match existing site forms (ie: the Contact Us form).. Additionally I added some styling classes where appropriate and removed a fair bit of the hard coded styling from the language files and moved them into the testimonial pages where appropriate..
Anyway I'm bundling up this and other things I found and fixed/tweaked (including the addition of an auto-installer).. Will add this to my to-do list and submit it to the downloads section.. I only made changes to the v1.5 compatible version.. I will be leaving the 1.3.9 version as is..
Hi,
I wonder if someone can help me? I have just installed this mod on my site however it doesn't appear to be working correctly. When I try to add a new testimonial by clicking 'Add a Testimonial' from the sidebox it just displays a blank page. I have disabled the option for only registered users to be able to post a testimonial for testing purposes.
My website is:
h t t p : / / w w w. o u r l i t t l e c o t t a g e s h o p . c o . u k
The testimonials sidebox is on the left side of the homepage.
I would appreciate any help any one is able to give.
Many thanks
