Testimonial Manager Support Thread

Clyde,

Thanks for a great mod. Two quick (related questions).

Where would I go to set the e-mail field as optional (on the client side) and the country field as required (again, on the client side)?

Thanks :-)

You'll have to change the error handling code in includes/modules/pages/testimonials_add/header_php.php

And

You'll have to change the code in the submission form
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_add_default.php

Brilliant - that worked! All changed. The only other minor thing that I'd like to do is change the order of the fields (i.e. have country and e-mail swapped around now that country is required and e-mail is optional). Had a quick play but couldn't seem to get it. Can you point me in the direction of the section of code that needs to be changed? Thanks!

All the form fields are located in:

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_add_default.php

Just move them where you want them

Thanks again! I now have this setup just how I want it! Thanks heaps :-)

I find that I do not need most of the definitions in testimonials_add.css except for:

option {background:#fff; color:#000;}
optgroup {background:#fff; color:#000; font-family:verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;}
optgroup option {background:#fff; color:#000;}

which I am not sure where they are utilized. If I determine that I do not need the entire testimonials_add.css file, can I simply not upload it to the server? Thanks.

BTW, when editing a testimonial that has an image previously added, the image gets deleted even when the Delete Image's radio button was set to 'No'. Am I missing something?

Based on the following:

You'll have to change the error handling code in includes/modules/pages/testimonials_add/header_php.php

And

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_add_default.php

I'm trying to modify the code so that the Testimonial Title doesn't show up when someone adds their testimonial. I changed the ~includes/modules/pages/testimonials_add/header_php.php by commenting out:

$error = false;
   //   if ($testimonials_title == '') {
   //     $error = true;
   //     $messageStack->add('new_testimonial', ERROR_TESTIMONIALS_TITLE_REQUIRED);
  //    }

then I changed the ~includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_add_default.php by commenting out the following:

<fieldset>
<!--<label class="inputLabel" for="testimonials_title"><?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_TITLE; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_title', '', 'size="18" id="testimonials_title"') . '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL . '</span>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />-->

<label class="inputLabel" for="testimonials_name"><?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_NAME; ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_name', $name, 'size="18" id="testimonials_name"') . '<span class="alert">' . ENTRY_REQUIRED_SYMBOL . '</span>'; ?>
<br class="clearBoth" />

Now, everything works fine for customers to add testimonials, but I can't approve anything. When I go into the Admin-->Tools-->Testimonials Manager I get an error at the top of Zen Cart stating:

Error: Testimonials title required.

This won't allow it to show up. Any help would be appreciated.

Cheers

admin/testimonial_manager.php

look for this section of code

        if (empty($testimonials_title)) {
          $messageStack->add(ERROR_PAGE_TITLE_REQUIRED, 'error');
          $page_error = true;
        }

Perfect, thanks :)
