Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[kevinmc3]

I was folwoign the install.txt file below:

File Modifications:

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;
}

========================================================

Database Modifications:

A new database table needs to be created to store your testimonial items.
New configuration options are added to the zen_configuration table.

========================================================

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, cut-and-paste the code into the query field and press 'Send'.

Before uploading change the YOUR_TEMPLATE directories to match the name of your custom directory.
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 and includes directories to your server.

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


So, instead I add the code you just gave me into the box:
Enter the query
to be executed:

The I was entering into the upload file at the same time:
install_testimonials_manager.sql

You would change the YOUR_TEMPLATE directories to magic.

includes/languages/english/classic/extra_definitions/magic
includes/languages/english/classic/magic
includes/languages/english/classic/html_includes/magic
includes/modules/sideboxes/classic/magic
includes/templates/classic/magic

Now you upload/FTP the admin and includes directories to your server.

These DO NOT get included in the sql.

admin -> tools -> install sql patches
does not upload files to your server it only runs sql statements in order to change the database.

What is this?:

includes/languages/english/classic/extra_definitions/magic
includes/languages/english/classic/magic
includes/languages/english/classic/html_includes/magic
includes/modules/sideboxes/classic/magic
includes/templates/classic/magic


I thought you said in previous NOT to include the classic subfolder? Am I making two sets of magic over-ride folders?

Sorry, copied the wrong section.

includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/magic
includes/languages/english/magic
includes/languages/english/html_includes/magic
includes/modules/sideboxes/magic
includes/templates/magic

But in any case the folders and files do not get included with the sql

in:
[DELETE FROM zen1_configuration WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id; DELETE FROM configuration WHERE configuration_key = 'DEFINE_TESTIMONIAL_STATUS'; DELETE FROM configuration_group WHERE configuration_group_id = @configuration_group_id;]
