Thanks for the great mod.
The testimonial manager from Nicholas (zencartbuilder.com) supports this feature but he's no longer around. I do have a copy of it that we purchased in 2006 if that will help.
Already possible (since at least version 1.4.4), check admin -> configuration -> testimonial manager -> Only registered customers may submit a testimonialQuote:

Attachment 5155
Hello Clyde,
I have just upgraded smoothly, cheers.
Only 2 things i don't get:
- on error, there is no $testimonials_title or $testimonials_html_text in the tpl_testimonials_add_default.php defined so if an error occurs those fields need to be retyped.
Is there a specific reason to choose so? (i found adding those works out just fine?)
- in the testimonials_add.css there are entries to background url *.png but those do not exist. Did i miss something in the primary install or are those entries in error?
Thanks,
Jeroen
I just downloaded and installed Testimonials Manager today - works like a charm but i found an error in the "install_testimonials_manager.txt" instructional file.
Under the Metatags section, there appears to be a missing line that was generating an error for me. I found the missing line which was in an earlier post in the forum. The above mentioned file was missing this:
Please click here for the correct and complete metatag code.PHP Code:$testimonial_title = 'Testimonial - ';

2. ehrm, now i am really puzzled :)
i am sure i never put it in there so it is probably a left over from an initial version, and i obviously didn't overwrite it with the current one. Anyway, forget, move on...:blush:
thanks,
Jeroen
1. no, no drawbacks, but you can replace that section with the following: I've added some code to re-display a truncated testimonial if it exceeds the maximum length you've set.Quote:

I would like to remove the requirement for a Testimonial Title to be entered by the customer. I can remove the relevant text and form part from the 'add my testimonial' page, but there is obviously more to be done/commented out to stop error messages appearing.
Any suggestions?
Cheers
Well you could add an option to the Testimonial Manager configuration table to display or not display the title.Quote:

Good day Clyde
I just downloaded and installed TM on my 1.3.8a site www.robertensing.com
I can see the options in admin for Testimonials Manager as well as Tools > Testimonial Manager with 1 test in there, but I don't see the side-box to activate the feature on my site. :-(
Any idea what I did wrong?
Thanks for the great mod by the way. I run several sites that use ZC and I'm sure a couple will be using this mod when I figure it out.
Never mind, I must have missed a file during the uploads it seems to be working now.Quote:

main portion of code

Just wondering if there is a way to have the testimonials for a certain product show up on the product page itself? i am sure there is a bit of coding to do this...but wondering just how hard it would be?
For example I have "Jazzy Jeans" there are 3 comments on my testimonials page for these jeans....I would like to have JUST those (3) comments show up on my Jazzy Jeans product page underneath the product images....can this be done?!?!?
THanks!!!
testimonials are meant to show kudos to your customer support, shipping policies, and all around general experience with shopping with you.
What you are looking for is Customer Reviews, which are the reviews by the customers of a certain/specific product. To do that, they would have to go to that specific product and write a review.
You can then set it to show the latest review on that product, and there is also a link there in the product listing that they can click to view ALL reviews on the product.
You'd need to use the Zen Cart built-in review system to do this.Quote:

You can select view all testimonials and ALL of your testimonials will show on the "ALL Testimonials" page. You can also chose to view individual testimonials by clicking on the title of the testimonial.
I apologize for not being clearer.
I have the Testimonial side box displaying, but I only want it to display on the Store Front, not other pages.

Other add-ons which are all up-to-date include Image Handler2, Admin Settings, Admin Profiles, Monthly Sales Reports, Sales Reports with Graphs, Sales Reports, Google Analytics, and shortly CAPTCHA and the CAPTCHA Testimonial 1.5 fix.
After a clean re-install, I have two issues which still plague me and a couple Zen Cart admin display bugs which are irksome but acceptable.
The site is www.mustangseats.com/cart/index.php
The testimonials look fine on the main page. (lower right hand side)
However the issues arise when you click to view the testimonial.
Issue #1: When the testimonial is displayed the testimonials width is to wide and disrupts the template. I cannot find in any of the stylesheets where I can change the width of the testimonials and the only entry in the forum was from a couple years ago from a person from asia who had other issues.
Issue #2: Page title when viewing the testimonials- META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIAL_MANGER<testimonial title> Not exactly sure what caused this. Not sure how to fix it.
The curiosities on the Testimonial Manager under Admin-->Tools are:
Issue#1: when clicking on Add Testimonial. The *Required is displayed twice next to the Author's Name, Author's E-Mail, and Testimonial Title fields- since this is the first time I have seen this add-on, I am not sure if this is intentional or not.
Issue#2: In the Admin Settings add-on, Permissions, Testimonial Manager is listed twice and both need to be marked in order for any of the other admins on Mustang's site.
Like I said these issues do not impact the functionality of the tool, they are just curiosities and unexpected.
However on the width issue and page title issue any help would be appreciated.

Resolved Issue #2: Page title when viewing the testimonials- META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIAL_MANGER<testimonial title> Not exactly sure what caused this. Not sure how to fix it.
It was the code I entered in the meta_tags.php file. Removed
the
//TESTIMONIALS:
case 'testimonials_manager_all_testimonials':.... code
Still need help figuring out the width issue

Hi
I have modified your testimonials package to become a guestbook, as can be seen here http://www.breezy.biz/index.php?main...l_testimonials
I notice Capcha is on its way and just wondered how long it will be, I get about 10 entries a day that are trying to persuade me I need ############, that or a bigger cucumber, neother of which I am overly concerned about at this point in my life.
lol.

Have you checked the Apple Zen support thread for similar issues?

Check the admin profiles support thread on this issue.
when clicking on Add Testimonial. The *Required is displayed twice next to the Author's Name, Author's E-Mail, and Testimonial Title fields- since this is the first time I have seen this add-on, I am not sure if this is intentional or not.
The *Required should only display once after each of these entries.
Try this fix and see if it helps.
Just unzip the the file and upload the entire admin folder to your server.

Yes- I did not find anything so I posted a question. Jade , just like yourself, is very good about helping those who use the add-ons which one has developed. I will be sure to post the solution on this thread as well- with the popularity of both Apple Zen and Testimonial Manager, I am sure I will not be the only one to encounter this issue.Quote:
When the testimonial is displayed the testimonials width is to wide and disrupts the template. I cannot find in any of the stylesheets where I can change the width of the testimonials and the only entry in the forum was from a couple years ago from a person from asia who had other issues.
Have you checked the Apple Zen support thread for similar issues?

I appreciate the help but alas after uploading the admin folder, I still have double *required.. Like I said this is not as important as resolving the template displacement when viewing the testimonials. I do appreciate your help with it though.Quote:

So if others have the same issue here is what I did with the wonderful instructions and guidance from Clyde & Jade.
In the /includes/templates/apple_zen/css folder, I opened the
display_all_testimonials.css, testimonial_manager.css and testimonial_manager_all_testimonials.css.
Found the very first line of code:
and changed toQuote:
#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}
Thanks again Clyde & Jade- This is why I love open source software :yes:Quote:
/*#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}*/

Hi Clyde,
I want to again thank you again for such an cool tool and for all your help. We have it implemented on my client's site (www.mustangseats.com) and had our first testimonial submitted this weekend.:clap:
Minotaur1066
Glad its working out.Quote:

To get folks to submit real testimonials, there must be something to write about. Maybe your excelent customer service or perhaps your products help them solve their daily problems.
I pride myself in quick response and great customer service. In the years that I have been doing this and the hundreds of orders I've filled, I have only received a handful of compliments and even fewer complaints.Quote:

Do you guys get tons of submissions without prompting customers to review their experience shopping with you?
I find that it is rare that customers will actually click on the testimonials and enter their comments on there. It was not until I found kampyle.com that provided a feedback button and a "push" that asks customers if they want to participate in a short 1 minute feedback that I started to actually get customer feedback and comments. I used those comments to manually enter the testimonial into the module.
Used to be that kamplye was free to use, but now they charge a subscription fee. It is still free up until 25 feedbacks in a month and they removed all other info that you can get from the customers like location, browser etc. However it is still a useful way to get testimonials from customers.

Hi,
Good job Clyde!
Did a fresh zen install this morning and downloaded your add-on. Got it to work with little effort but I did notice several small items.
The image size variable changes what is seen everywhere, even in the sidebox. If you set it to where is fits the sidebox, then it is almost too small to be useful elsewhere.
There may be an issue with hiding the name, city, etc. on the testimonial page(s). I turned them off in config. and nothing changed in either the All Testimonials or on the single testimonial screens. If it is working right for you, then maybe something went haywire with my install.
Also, on my install, the view page link (the little icon) does not seem to work under the tools section. My screen flashes but that is about all that happens. I checked my pop-up blocker and that's not the problem. Again, I couldn't swear that it isn't something that I did in tweaking, but most of what I did was in css. If yours works fine, then I will need to recheck everything.
BTY, I love your town (if you are still in the Springs, that is)! Worked in Denver several years and made a few trips down your way. Enjoyed the 90 mile jaunt!

Turning off the country, state, company in admin -> configuration -> testimonial manager only keeps those fields from showing on the testimonial submission form.Quote:

By default, The Ads By: NAME will display at all times.
make sure you've uploaded the following stylesheets
testimonials_manager.css
testimonials_add.css
display_all_testimonials.css
Also add the following declarations to your stylesheet.css
.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;
}
You the man Clyde Thanks again for you help

That was good to know about those fields. I didn't even try to add another after I turned them off, or I might had noticed what happened and saved a question. Guess I need a crash course on css, if I can find one somewhere.
Thanks again,

The reason I mentioned making sure they were uploaded was that when I checked your site, the stylesheets for testimonial manager were missing as were the add on declarations for the stylesheet.cssQuote:

:lamo:I know it's probably not a great idea, but if one wanted to allow simple html, could it be done? Just the basic text formatting options like < br >, < b >, etc. or would that create a nightmare?
You can make any changes you want, but it is a little easier to just add/change the following declarations in the stylesheets: as indicated by the highlights. That way you don't need to touch the underlying code at all.Quote:

height:1%;
text-align:center;
font-weight:bold;

That was much easier than I imagined. Guess it helps to know css.
Thanks!
hi all,
Please advise me how to install this add on? My site is still offline and now i am running on xampp.
Any hitches can be sorted out here, but more than likely, they already have been answered here. So my advise would be to scan this thread and read the instructions!Quote:

Change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template directory.Quote:

Thanks for all your reply.
Hi Clyde, It is obvious the amount of work you put into this mod, so I would like to see it working well on our site.
I loaded the mod and all seemed to be where it should be, custom override and admin directory names were changed. Double and triple checked all...
I did get several errors from the sql install:
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "UPLOAD_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "TEXT_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
Everything in admin works fine, I set the sidebox to on, configured settings and added a test testimonial......
The sidebox is not showing......any clues?
I've re-loaded the sql and files several times, same thing...
www. misasfashioncafe .com (site is Japanese)
Thanks in advance, Robert
The error messages can safely be ignored since they only confirm that that particular information already exists in the database.Quote:

Off hand, I'm thinking that your test testimonial was in english and you submitted it from admin while using english as the language.
Try switching languages to Japanese in admin and then submit a testimonial
Clyde, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!....
....another one of those "DUH" moments...I created a Japanese file for >INCLUDES side, but not for >ADMIN. Sometimes it takes a slap in the back of the head....Quote:

Not really, no. Hadn't thought much about it since they'd need to be approved in any case.Quote:

so I tried changing it to:
$testimonials_query_raw = "select * from " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . " where status = 1 and language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' order by testimonials_title, date_added DESC";
but that doesn't do anything.
Even tried removing the DESC with no success and even changed it to ASC.
So I am either in the wrong place or I'm not getting the message.:dontgetit

YES! i do follow exactly as mention above;
