Testimonial Manager Support Thread

Dear Clyde,

>You can see how the testimonials look with images here:
http://mysticmountainnaturals.com/te...l_testimonials

I see on your test site that your quote images are showing up and the image in the middle too. But now on my site the quote images have disappeared. But it looks OK with or without them.

The quote images were showing up before I added the new custom image code.

What is the size of your quote images?

[jonisolis]

36 px wide x 24 px high are my quote images in size.

Try working with the padding

blockquote div {
padding:38px 56px;
background: url(../images/rgtblockquote.png) bottom right no-repeat;
height:1%;
}

testimonials_manager.css

testimonials_manager_all_testimonials.css

Change them in increments of 10.

See if that helps

I tried a bunch of different padding sizes but the quote images never did show up again.

blockquote div {
padding:8px 6px;
background: url(../images/rgtblockquote.png) bottom right no-repeat;
height:1%;
}

to

blockquote div {
padding:108px 106px;
background: url(../images/rgtblockquote.png) bottom right no-repeat;
height:1%;
}

But it is OK; it looks good with or with out the quote images.

One other thing you could try (although you might not want to) is to reduce the logo images by half.

Dear Clyde,

WOW, you are so sweet to do this custom work for me. I do hope many other people will find your custom work helpful for their sites. They could add a photo of the person leaving the testimonial. That is suppose to make the testimonial more believable.

I did notice that if I have to re-edit a testimonial that the URL disappears and then I have to edit it again and add the URL back in the URL spot.

Here's a fix for this.

open admin/testimonials_manager.php

Find this line of code (around line 185)

<td class="main"><?php echo zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_url', zen_not_null($iInfo->testimonials_url) ? $iInfo->testimonials_url : 'http://', 'maxlength="255"', true); ?></td>

change it as follows

<td class="main"><?php echo zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_url', zen_not_null($bInfo->testimonials_url) ? $bInfo->testimonials_url : 'http://', 'maxlength="255"', true); ?></td>

Save the file and upload to your server

one other thing crossed my mind.

What is the file name for your quote image(s)?

[jonisolis]

Dear Clyde, maybe that is part of my problem - I don't see the testimonials_manager.php file under admin: admin/testimonials_manager.php

I do have a file named: testimonials_manager.php here...
admin\includes\languages\english\testimonials_manager.php

but it doesn't have a 185 line that reads:
<td class="main"><?php echo zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_url', zen_not_null($iInfo->testimonials_url) ? $iInfo->testimonials_url : 'http://', 'maxlength="255"', true); ?></td>

here is it:
