Testimonial Manager Support Thread

Version 1.3.8

I've used your Testimonial manager for another site I created with no problems. Thanks.

I'm attempting to create a new site by copying my previous site, and everything else about the new site is working fine, except for the Testimonial manager. It appears that none of the 'define' variables can be found and the variable names themselves show up on the page, for instance: TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_DISPLAY_ALL_TESTIMONIALS shows up instead of the words "View all Testimonials".

On my new site, I renamed all of the template folders to a new name, including those related to the testimonial manager. I don't understand why the define pages can not be found. For example, there is a file called tpl_testimonials_manager.php. In it, there is a line that uses a defined constant: TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ADD_TESTIMONIALS. This page is located in inlcludes/templates/mytemplate/sideboxes. The defined constant is located in: includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/mytemplate/testimonials_manager_defines.php. It's as if it can't find any of the defined vars. Any ideas? Is there something that could get messed up during my site copy process that would make the testimonial manager scripts lose their defined vars? By the way, I tried uninstalling the entire testimonial add on, then reinstalling it. It still acts the same way. Suggestions? Thanks!!!

All of the information for Testimonial Manager is stored in the database table so there are no files to edit.

Hi there again,

I was working on the site locally on my Windows PC (WAMP), when you asked for the URL, so I decided to upload what I had done at this point. What's interesting is that everything works correctly after I uploaded the whole site. The url to the correctly working, copied site is: http://pursebling.com. If you look at the bottom left sidebox, you will see that the testimonial box is displaying correctly. However, on my local machine it looks like this:


So to recap:
It's working in the following conditions:
- Locally for my memoriesinchocolate.com site.
- Production server for memoriesinchocolate.com
- Production server for pursebling.com

It's not working for my local version of pursebling.com (which I copied the entire site up to the production server a few minutes ago).

Any ideas?

Generally, it means that a language file is missing or was corrupted during the transfer/upload

You should check includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/YOUR_TEMPLATE/testimonials_manager_defines.php
