Not a good idea - because any changes you make in any of the files will be overwritten the next time you upgrade.Quote:

Hello Clyde,
Thanks for the update. I seem to be having the problem with the sql as before,
I get this on the links pageI have tried to process through zen cart and my host sql admin.Quote:

Here's the thing:
I'd like only admin ability to 'add' a testimonial. *OR* if there's a way for testimonials to be added by users but not displayed without admin approval that will work.
so, is this do-able in TM 1.4.4, and if not is it in the latest/latest? If that's the case can I run the latest/latest on ZC 1.3.7?
Thanks in advance for your reply and in abundance for a fantastic mod.

All testimonials have to be approved in admin -> tools -> testimonial manager before they can be displayed. This is the case whether you use 1.44 or 1.46.Quote:

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).

Thank you Clyde, that worked perfectly.
I currently have 1.4.5 of your mod installed, do you think it is worth me putting on the 1.4.6 version, or is it better leaving alone.
Thanks, Dave
1.4.6 added some "cosmetic formating" in displaying the testimonials and fixed a couple of minor bugs (including the issue you just corrected.)Quote:

I have tried 1.4.6 on my test site, and all seems fine, so I will probably update my live site as well.
One thing I noticed when I was checking through my site is that on both versions, the "View All Testimonials" page fails the HTML validation.
It's not really a problem to me - I'm happy now my main page validates, but I thought it may be of interest to you.Quote:
Validation Output: 2 Errors

when I install and it says YOUR_TEMPLATE should this go into classic or template_default?????
for some reason on IE, the testimonials text inside box doesn't show up unless I put my mouse over the text and click.... any suggestions

Brilliant - that worked! All changed. The only other minor thing that I'd like to do is change the order of the fields (i.e. have country and e-mail swapped around now that country is required and e-mail is optional). Had a quick play but couldn't seem to get it. Can you point me in the direction of the section of code that needs to be changed? Thanks!
All the form fields are located in:Quote:

Thanks again! I now have this setup just how I want it! Thanks heaps :-)
I find that I do not need most of the definitions in testimonials_add.css except for:which I am not sure where they are utilized. If I determine that I do not need the entire testimonials_add.css file, can I simply not upload it to the server? Thanks.Code:option {background:#fff; color:#000;}
optgroup {background:#fff; color:#000; font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}
optgroup option {background:#fff; color:#000;}
BTW, when editing a testimonial that has an image previously added, the image gets deleted even when the Delete Image's radio button was set to 'No'. Am I missing something?
Those are there for future development.Quote:

That's all. The image is now missing. I checked the image folder specially created for testimonial and found the image file still there.
Btw, I am doing this in my local PC though. Thanks for any advice.

I've checked on my local PC using XAMPP server environment and also on my test site.
I'm using the most recent version (1.4.6) of testimonials manager on both my PC and test site.
I am using version 1.4.6 too. I'm really not sure why it's only happening to my installation. Perhaps it's to do with another mod. It's above my head. :(
Correct me if I am mistaken, the inclusion of image(s) is only available to the admin. right? That is, testimonial writers can't add any image right? Frankly, I'm not too sure of the purpose for an image. Pls. enlighten me. Thanks.

CorrectQuote:

I someone would do a testimonial about a particular product, you could include an image of that product (from the admin). The testimonial as well as the image of the product would then be displayedQuote:

They are stored in the database testimonials_manager tableQuote:

Great job!
still having problems on IE6 - the title of testimonial and inside text does not show up unless I click and drag over the area.... any suggestions?
midwestapplianceparts.com - homepage
:blush: Unfortunately, I don't have IE6 available so I can't check on this issue.Quote:

When upgrading to IE7 is removes IE6 from your system. However, if you still want to be able to test websites with IE6 you can. Download it from my site at http://www.swiker.com/tools/IE6.zip then extract the files to a folder on your system. Then just run the iexplore.exe from within the folder. This folder has all the necessary files to run a local version of IE6. If you click Help on the IE menue then choose About, it will still say IE7 but trust me, it's not.
This will not affect your installed version if IE7. You can put a shortcut to the iexplore.exe file on your quick launch area then when you need to test a site with IE6 ... you can.

Should I create a database, now, after the fact? What files would I need to look into to change the database that this mod is using now once I get a new database set up?
If you ran the install_testimonials_manager.sql then the required database table was created and you don't need to do anything further.Quote:

Hi,
Does anyone know if Testimonial manager can automatically send an email out to the customer to place a testimonial on the site say 7days after receiving their goods? (just like eBay on their feedback system)?
Thanks.
I don't think this is a feature built into that module at this point.
However, newsletters are a great way to market. You may be able to find a newsletter software that will automatically email a customer after a purchase. Some newsletter software have survey options. The surveys will allow you to get the customer's feedback on the purchase.

1. Does the mod have the ability to allow a user submitted pic to include with the testimonial?
2. If a user submits a pic and its sized excessively can it use gd or image magick to resample and save it in the ../images/testimonials directory at a preferred or admin controlled size & dpi?
Sorry, No to both. Images can be added from the admin panel (admin -> tools -> testimonial manager) and editing the testimonial.Quote:

Next question though. As it is now if an image is in the testimonial when the image is clicked it takes you to the authors submitted link/site.
What about altering it so that a smaller image can be used and when clicked it behaves like a product picture and opens a larger picture on top?
I'm using the Fuel Slimbox mod at http://www.zen-cart.com/index.php?ma...roducts_id=830 and would like to see a larger picture displayed instead.
cheers!
You can set the image dimensions to whatever you wantQuote:

When you edit a testimonial you can set the URL to take you to a particular product info page (you can see this in action here
Just scroll down to the "great site" testimonial and click on the image.
I'm not sure how Fuel Slimbox handles images so I can't really speak to what would be required to alter testimonial manager code to work with it.
Clyde;
I found where in the 2 template files the url is passed to the picture and although my php is crude at best managed to comment out the url from being passed.
tpl_testimonials_manager_default.php
tpl_testimonials_manager_all_testimonials_default.php
I did it like this...
One thing I noticed is that if there is no URL supplied either in the submission or edited in on the admin side then the code still inserts "http:///" as a link for the picture. Might consider adding a statement for it to check for a url and if none exists then not to create the link.PHP Code:<p id="testimonialImage">
<?php /* echo '<a href="' . $page_check->fields[testimonials_url] . '" target="_blank">' . zen_image($testimonials_image). '</a>'; */ ?>
<?php echo '' . zen_image($testimonials_image). '</a>'; ?>
</p>
Also, thanks for the image info. If I'd have opened my eyes I might have seen it slap me in the face! :oops:

The image size applies to both the sidebox and the display pages.Quote:

I even reverted back to your original files and still the same presentation.
The cart is a clean 1.3.8a install and this was the first mod I installed on it. I tried the Fuel Slimbox after that and nothing was over written but the javascript from slimbox kept halting php and all I would get was blank pages so I removed slimbox for now.
Cheers!
Just reverted everything back to your original files and now the only difference is the store's full root url shows up in the status bar and of course takes you there when you click the picture. Site url is http://www.southraven.com/demo10/
I'll work on a code revision and post a fix for you asap.Quote:

Outside of a few stock changes to the stylesheet.css for the template its a fully compliant Zen Cart 1.3.8 and I have been very meticulous in creating a fully compliant template.
Now if I can find a way to get your Testimonial Manager to treat the pictures the same way I would be happy indeed.
From what I can see to get litebox to work on other pages you simply have to copy the javascript file into the appropriate ../includes/modules/pages/ directory and add the tag "rel="lightbox[gallery]".
I'm sure that sounds simpler than it really is though!

Is the picture on the page tpl_testimonials_manager_default.php supposed to be a thumbnail or the full size picture?
Cheers!
The way the code is now written it will show the full size image and the sidebox will show a thumnail image.Quote:

I'm also revising the code to take care of the "link" problem you described.

Clyde,
I upgraded to TM 1.4.6 and noticed some strange behaviour, no one seems to have encountered this.
In Admin -> Tools -> Testimonials Manager there are two panels: one with a list of testimonials on the left and the other one with Edit-Delete buttons on the right.
The strange thing is that when there are more than one page of testimonials and I go to the next page, the right panel disappears. Clicking any testimonials entry in this page takes me to the previous page with no right panel. If I then go to the next page again, it appears normally, i.e. with the right panel.
This does not seem to break anything, but adds a few extra clicks if entries other that those on the first page are to be edited. I there any simple for this?
Thanks so much for the mod,
Alex
I'll check it out!Quote:

I can use the meta_tags.php file for

Better yet, it would be great if meta tags could be generated automatically from the content of the comment. Nice dream...
Open includes/modules/meta_tags.phpQuote:

Thank you Clyde - that works great!
