However; the author's url is not "clickable". Is that the link you are working on.
PS Have I mentioned how awesome this mod is???? :hug:
addendum to last post by me! Images are linked to author's url. DOY! What more could I ask????
Forgive me???? :wacko:
Just a note on images.Quote:

1. The ability to insert the product name and it display either bolded and/or h2/h3 and that be the text link to the product instead of the image.
2. The user have the ability to submit their image and that image contain the tag necessary for those of us that use the lightbox effect.
3. When the user submits an image then either gd or imagemagick automatically resize/resample any images submitted larger than desired or set in admin configuration as limits.
4. Adjustable settings in admin for image position of either left/center/right.
I know all this would involve quite a bit of code. After all, I did say it was a wish list!
Cheers!
#4 can be accomplished by changing the following declaration in eitherQuote:

margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;/* change to left, right or center */
}
#2 those using lightbox will have to work out how to adjust the current code to work with that mod. Check the support forum and/or the authors of the mod.
#1 the testimonial title could serve this purpose.
Quote:
The way the code is now written it will show the full size image and the sidebox will show a thumnail image.
I'm revising the code for both tpl_testimonials_manager_default.php and tpl_testimonials_manager_all_testimonials_default. php so that an image will be displayed as a thumnail.
I'm also revising the code to take care of the "link" problem you described.
Here's the fix.Quote:

Hello,
I have installed Testimonial Manager 1.4.3.2. It actually always worked fine. But now all of a sudden I dont see any testimonials submitted by users in my admin, thus no more new testimonials. Adding one through the admin works although. Can you please help?

This is a great contribution however our management didn't like the term 'testimonials' saying that it signifies something religious in nature. So they had me change the wording and button to 'Reviews' instead.
Now I have 2 reviews on our site but the one where I faked it using the Testimonials module works better because people do not have to login to add a review which is great because our site is just a showcase anyway.
See it in action here.
I have tried this, but no change...... there are no error messages.... strange that it just stopped workingQuote:

I'm guessing you have 1.4.6 installed, if so, it allows for multiple language support.Quote:

The sidebox will only appear when there is at least one testimonial, if as you suggest you have no testimonials then the sidebox will not appear.Quote:

Do this for each testimonial and language.

Hi,
I have a small cosmetic problem in my testimonial sidebox. The separator bar "hr" doesnot appear between the testimonials and the testimonial title is too near to my box border, how can solve those little problems?
thanks
My site is http//www.accesorius.com
Most likely there is something in the following section of your stylesheet.css that needs to be corrected. for instance: there are no unordered lists (ul li) in the testimonial sidebox.Quote:

I have a modified version of your tesimonial system on my wifes site, using it as a guestbook, without lots of the features for display, it works fine, however we are now starting to see spam entries, which on the one hand we can live with since they do not display on the site unless my wife approves them, which she obviousley does not, however would a captcha addition be something that would be easy to implement for this system.
You'd have to install one of the captcha mods and then modify a couple of files in template manager so that it would work with the captcha mod you install.Quote:

I presume it is the tpl_testimonails_manager.php in TEMPLATE/sideboxes but where ever I slap the Marquee comand it boogers up my whole store.
Any pointers would be cool.
Thanx! :D
You can limit the number of random testimonials that appear in the sidebox:Quote:

Thank you very much for this, it works great.
One thing. I already have a page containg many testimonials that have been emailed to uour company over the years. I don't want to lose these, so I have been adding these to Testimonial Manager through 'Admin>Tools>Testimonials Manager'.
The only thing, there is no way of changing the date for these entries to correspond with the correct dates that they were sent to us.
I have changed the options in 'Admin>Configuration>Testimonials Manager' so that the date doesn't show any more, but I'd really like it if I could change the setting back to show the dates, but before doing this I will need to edit the entries that I have submitted to include the correct dates.
I would appreciate any advice. :smile:
A couple of things come to mind.Quote:

Thank you very much for this. Is there a way of including a field to edit the date in 'Admin>Tools>Testimonials Manager' where it is possible to change details such as Author's Name, Email, City, Testimonial Title, Testimonial, Image etc?
I'm looking into that right now.Quote:

Hi Clyde,
I tried to search and read ALL the posts in this thread, but I fell asleep at the comp and bashed my head on the keyboard on the way down, so I figured I would just ask instead....
In the admin/configuration/testimonials manager, when I try to increase the number of testimonials that show up in the sidebox to anything above 5, the sidebox "loses" its left and right borders. Well, not all of it's borders, but the upper part disappears.
I have quite a bit of text on my main page, and want the testimonials to flow down the page to eliminate the "dead space" on the right.
Is it a CSS thing, or an image thing?
The site is http://mistkits.com , but I have set the # to display back to 5 so it doesn't look too funky to the customers.
You make some awesome mods and are very graciuos helping everyone. Thanks.
I'll be guessing here, but from the way you are describing what is happening, I'd have to say that the content of the sidebox is breaking the height of the sideboxContent graphic.Quote:
Originally Posted by daneh
in other words - the graphic has a height of 750px and if your content exceeds that height then you would get what you describe.
The solution would be to edit the graphic for the sideboxContent and increase the height to 1200px or so.
That was pretty much as I thought. I wasn't sure though.
Thanks for the reply.
Worked like a charm!!!:smartalec:

Hi Clyde,
I was wondering if you can help. I have installed testimonials 1.4.6 and it worked fine for a while no problem . Suddenly since yesterday the add testimonial link gives me a blank page and when I check in the logs it states the following error:
[07-Sep-2008 02:16:03] PHP Fatal error: Cannot redeclare zen_db_insert_id() (previously declared in /home/xxxxxxxxxx/includes/functions/testimonials.php:13) in /home/xxxxxxxxx/includes/functions/testimonials.php on line 14
I am running zencart 1.3.8, PHP PHP 5.2.6 and MySQL 4.1.22
I have gone through the whole thread and have tried every suggestion in there even the fix for bonheddwr. I have unistall and reinstalled everything but nothing still getting it.
Any ideas will be great.

Yes thats why I said I was a bit of a wolly... I read back the last few pages of this thread and read about tthe support for multi langauges... but what I wanted was to have the same testimonial translated (by us) into other langauges, like ezpages... its working well.
Neil
p.s
I also added a more polite redirect if the user should login... i.e it displays a warning message at the top of the login so the user knows why he's go to the login page and not the add-testimonial...
Sorry I hadn't checked here on the thread... perhaps I would of made modifications differently... don't want to seem rude or anything...
Its a great module... by the way :) Thanks

Clyde,
I've got the Testimonial Manager installed. There seems to be a few glitches.
Here's a link:
http://www.thewindcutter.com/shop/
If I create and then go back, edit and update a testimonial in the Admin, after I update the image goes away and it says, "IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST". It's not deleting the image from the server, just from the testimonial.
I figured out I had to make a testimonials folder in MY_CUSTOM/images/ folder for the images to save there. Maybe that should be in the instructions.
Sometimes, in the Admin, the editor is plain text, sometimes the HTMLarea editor. Right now it seems to be sticking on the HTMLarea editor, which is fine. Just thought I'd mention that.
Do you notice the
— , U.S.A. —
The long dash marks ( — ) that appears where a city, state or company would be? On your test submission, it doesn't have that. I noticed your entry doesn't have any city, state, country or company. If I add one then your entry shows the dashes between where they would be. Is there some way to get rid of those extra dashes when someone doesn't fill in the optional fields?
Also, as I stated in a reply to this thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64743
I had to completely delete the testomonial_functions.php from the admin/includes/functions/extra_functions folder before the Testimonial Manager would even work. (Testimonial was misspelled in the name of that file. I first tried correcting the spelling, but that didn't change anything.)
If there was some way a customer could submit an image that would be great!
Overall, I really like this add-on, Thanks a lot!

Which version of Testimonial Manager are you using? That file in the current version in the downloads section seems to be correct testimonials_manager_functions.php
Sometimes, in the Admin, the editor is plain text, sometimes the HTMLarea editor. Right now it seems to be sticking on the HTMLarea editor, which is fine. Just thought I'd mention that.
Testimonial Manager doesn't use HTMLarea or make any calls to it.

It was a new installation. I thought I downloaded it the same day (or possibly the day before) I posted about the problem.

There still is testimonials_manager_functions.php in the
admin/includes/functions/extra_functions folder, but I deleted the testomonial_functions.php from that folder and the error went away and nothing seems broken.

I would still be interested in buyers being able to also upload an image along with their testimonial.
Also, having the testimonials set to show one but then scroll or fade to the next one (in the sidebox) would be great.

Thanks for the fix for the extra dashes, that worked perfectly. I really appreciate your help.

I know that the readme file needs some work and I'll take care of that with the next version.Quote:

(I'm always willing to customize things on request.)
Thank you so much! :clap:Quote:

Not sure what to do?
Many thanks
