Testimonial Manager Support Thread

Hi Clyde Jones and thank you so much for this add-on. I'm using it to display 'facts' rather than testimonials. I got it installed and working, then began customizing and had no problems. I added all the facts from within the Admin>Tools>Testimonials Manager. After that, I began removing certain things like the title, the read more, etc and all was working well. Finally, I wanted to add images, so I went into the Admin>Tools>Testimonials Manager and received the following error:

Code:

---

Fatal error: Call to a member function get_template_dir() on a non-object in /home/enchant2/public_html/biad/admin/includes/languages/english/testimonials_manager.php on line 30

---

I did not make any changes at all in the admin files.

Thank you.

I'd need a url for your site

AND

the details of what file(s) you modified to do the following:

After that, I began removing certain things like the title, the read more, etc

The site (still under construction) is currently located at
http://biad.enchanted-graphics.com/

This is a new installation of the add on.

the files I changed were:
includes>templates>mine>sideboxes>tpl_testimonials_manager.php

on line 14 I removed the following code between the ''

Code:

---

<b><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER, 'testimonials_id=' . $page_query_list[$i]['id']) . '">' . $page_query_list[$i]['name'] . '</a></b><div class="testimonial">

---

on line 20 I removed the following code because I did not want "Read More>>"

Code:

---

<span><strong><a href="' . zen_href_link(FILENAME_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER, 'testimonials_id=' . $page_query_list[$i]['id']) . '">' .TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_READ_MORE .'</a></strong></span>

---

on line 21, I removed everything, because I did not need the separator

Code:

---

$content .= '<hr class="catBoxDivider" />';

---

in includes>languages>english>extra_definitions>mine I changed testimonials_manager_defines.php:
lines 12, 13, 23 I changed the word Testimonials to Facts.

I believe that is all .... I will look through things more closely to see if anything was changed.

First: Try re-uploading ALL the unmodified testimonial manager files both admin and includes.

We can go back later and properly edit/modify the files to your needs.

Magic haha. I must have inadvertently changed something on one of those files. Now I no longer get that error! Thank you! That was a pretty simple fix!

Did you follow the highlighted section from the installation instructions:

NEW INSTALLATION:

Unzip the contribution.

Open the New_installation folder

run the included install_testimonials_manager.sql using the Zen-Cart Sql Patches tool
(admin -> tools -> install sql patches)
For best results, copy-and-paste the code into the query field and press 'Send'.

Before uploading change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template.
includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/languages/english/html_includes/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE

The files are arranged in the same structure as Zen Cart so you can FTP the admin, images and includes folders to your server.

Login in to your admin panel admin -> tools -> layout boxes contoller and activate the new sidebox.
