Testimonial Manager Support Thread (for ZC v1.5.x)

[ShopVille]

Thanks for the plugin.

i was wondering if there's anyway to automatically send an email containing a testimonial request after several days/weeks of an order?

Not with the version of the add-on available.. Would require custom coding to add the feature..

Hello,

Im using 1.5.0 and the installation went fine however when i am following the read me: specifically these instructions:
9) This section is entirely optional.
To implement metatags for your testimonials;
open includes/modules/meta_tags.php.
locate the following line of code (around line 336)
// NO "break" here. Allow defaults if not overridden at the per-page level
Immediately above this line copy and paste the code below.
(save the edited file to includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php and upload to your server.

break;
//TESTIMONIALS:
case 'display_all_testimonials':

$sql = "select * from " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . " where status = 1 and language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' order by date_added DESC, testimonials_title";
$testimonials = $db->Execute($sql);
while (!$testimonials->EOF) {
$testimonial_string_metatags .= zen_clean_html($testimonials->fields['testimonials_title']) . METATAGS_DIVIDER;

$testimonials->MoveNext();

} //EOF
define('META_TAG_TITLE', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ALL_TESTIMONIALS . $testimonial_string_metatags);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ALL_TESTIMONIALS . $testimonial_string_metatags);
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ALL_TESTIMONIALS . $testimonial_string_metatags);
break;

case 'testimonials_manager':
define('META_TAG_TITLE', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . zen_trunc_string($page_check->fields['testimonials_html_text'],TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH));
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);

HOWEVER, when I implement this change, I lose the "text" that is at the top of my page above the white bar where you put in the URLs. Sorry for the lack of technical terms, this is the best way to describe it. To illustrate that text, this page im currently on says "V150 Testimonial Manager Support Thread"

Any help as why this is happening would be great!

I want to use this mod as a springboard. I have multiple types of "testimonials/reviews". Using the Zen functionality, I want my guests to log in, have their name, town, etc. follow them to their reviews and then answer some different questions which will post to custom tables for viewing within my main website. It looks really close, I would just appreciate finding someone that I can ask questions of as I try to back into this thing.

Can we get this with Captcha? I added this to a new website, and almost immediately started getting SPAM submissions. We really like having the Testimonials, but right now, find ourselves having to remove upwards of 20 a day from spamming.

You can always install a CAPTCHA module if you want one, and configure this module to use it.. But this module will not be updated to include it if that's what you are asking.. If anything it will be updated (when someone has time) to use the same CSS anti-spam method built into Zen Cart v1.5.1.

I have a Captcha installed on the Testimonial Manager Add page.

One of these module has to be installed before it will work.

CAPTCHA using TTF, GD and GUEST REVIEWS
or
CAPTCHA using TTF & GD & Telephone Not Required on

What I had done is add a CAPTCHA module to the new customer creation page. Then I turned my Testimonial Manager to only allow testimonials from logged in customers. Therefore, if you're logging in to create a testimonial, then you already would have passed the CAPTCHA test when you created your account.

That seems to work and I've gotten no spam (and also not annoyed people with too many CAPTCHA boxes on my website).

Has the META Error been corrected?

Installed the Plug-in and all works great except after doing the Meta changes detailed in the instructions the page title displays
META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TEXT

Other than that its a great mod
