Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[MyDigitalFixation]

I downloaded this mod from the free software section and installed it. I added the below code to /includes/modules/mytemplatename/meta_tags.php

//TESTIMONIALS:
case 'testimonials_manager_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']);
break;

Did this code need to be added to the meta_tags.php file or was that supplied for upgrades?

After adding it to the file, this string is showing up in the top/title of the browser window bar along with the title of the comment.

META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER

Adding this code is entirely optional

There is a post located in this thread on how to implement the code (I just don't remember where)

Oh, ok. I removed it for now. I'll get back to it when I have some more time to go through the threads again. Thank you and thanks for the mod too. I really like this one.

Clyde, first of all, thanks for all your contributions. I wanted to verify whether this was the proper way to add the code to the metatags.php.

When adding:

    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']); 

I get the following on my metatags:

<title>META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGERGreat</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGERGreat" />
<meta name="description" content="META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGERThis is just a test submission to show you how it looks, great, eh?" />

When deleting "META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER"

as in

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

my meta tags show as they should...

<title>Great</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Great" />
<meta name="description" content="This is just a test submission to show you how it looks, great, eh?" />

Will doing so will create any problems with other pages? I ask because I assume the original code worked for you and you added it for a reason...

Thanks

Shouldn't have any effect on other pages.

Hello,

Firstly thanks Clyde (again!) for a superb add on

Two questions:
(I have searched this thread but to no avail.)

1: Would it be possible to display the Testimonials sidebox only on the Home page?

2: Can I add the 'index.php?main_page=display_all_testimonials' page to the site map?

Thanks.

To answer question #1 visit this page on the zencart tutorial.

To answer #2 visit this page "How to edit SiteMap links in ZenCart".

Hope that helps...
