My support is limited for this add-on I'm just being a good zen cart member and opening another thread for the updated version of Testimonial Manager....

Thanks to all who help support this module.

Submitted new version of this add-on. Details as follows:

• Add an auto installer. (performs fresh installs as well as updates) Some additional housekeeping was done to the install/upgrade SQL (for example the drop if exists statement was removed as it is not needed in either an new or upgrade install.)
• Clean up the "Add Testimonials" form. Removed the ordered list from the form so that the overall look/feel is more consistent with other Zen Cart forms (ie: Contact Us form)
• Update the stylesheet and pages to improve the look/feel of the various pages that make up this add-on
• Cleaned up (replaced) the pixelated quote images
• Replace the required and optional images with cleaner images

Dear Diva, thanks for your contributions, myself installed two of them (TMS and Images Handler), they are very usefull.
The only matter is: what is the file Thumbs.db? I'm not able to open it, can you, please, tell me (us) what there are inside?
Is it the: 'auto installer' you've mentioned above? how does it work?
Thanks you in advance. Luigi

Thanks for the plugin.

i was wondering if there's anyway to automatically send an email containing a testimonial request after several days/weeks of an order?

Not with the version of the add-on available.. Would require custom coding to add the feature..

hi,

just released the free module "ZC Testimonial Reminder Simple" for this purpose.

You can configure the order status and the timeframe (delay after order, how many days back in the past). The email is generated based on a free customizable template.

It requires to have MailBeez installed (free basic framework, compatible with Zencart 1.3.8 up to 1.5.1 - just drop in the new files...).


ZC Testimonial Reminder Simple - Download
http://www.mailbeez.com/documentatio..._testimonials/
(will submit it soon into the addon section)

Basic Installation ZenCart 1.5
http://www.mailbeez.com/documentatio...en-cart-1-5-x/


Would be great to hear if there is a need for a premium module, which e.g. can:
- automatically login of customer for hassle-free writing of testimonials
- react on more than one order status
- recognize regular customers to avoid sending reminders too often
- automatically rewards testimonials with a coupon
- allows to automatically insert random testimonials into other MailBeez Emails (e.g. winback, nopurchase...)

cheers

I'm using ZenCart 1.5.x

I had no problems when I added testimonials manager 1.5.3d to my test site, and no end to problems when adding it to my server. I've now got everything working except the admin functions at "configuration > Testimonial Manager". The functions at "tools > Testimonial Manager" work fine, as does the site. However I want to control the number of random testimonials displayed, and although I have 3 testimonials in the database, nothing displays at "configuration > Testimonial Manager".

The Current Issue:
Clicking the link at "configuration > Testimonial Manager" calls for "url...configuration.php?gID=31", and gets me nothing...

On a whim, I changed it to "...configuration.php?gID=32" in the browser address bar and that got me what I needed to manage the testimonials

So the question is how do I fix that gID called by the link? Is there a better place to ask this question?

What Testimonials Manager Version do you have installed on your live server? You said you had 1.5.3d installed on your test site.
