Testimonial Manager Support Thread (for ZC v1.5.x)

[jeking]

Hi there :)

I'm hoping someone might be able to help me with an issue I just noticed. I'm using ZC version 1.5.4. The quotes on my testimonials are HUGE! So big that they cover part of the testimonial text. Any way to either make these smaller or remove them all together?

Thanks :)

The quotes are image files. Replace them with smaller images.

Try this download includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_display_all_testimonials_default.php
Go down to line 49 and replace:

<div class="testimonial"> 

with

<div id="testimonial"> 

See if that will solve your problem.

Thanks, Countrycharm! While the quotes are still on the large size, at least they are no longer impeding on the actual testimonial so now it's all legible :)

IMHO, this is the BEST solution.. One of these days I gonna look into an option to replace the images with an Awesome Font glyph.. or even a Google Fonts quote..

Try this download includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_display_all_testimonials_default.php
Go down to line 49 and replace:

<div class="testimonial"> 

with

<div id="testimonial"> 

See if that will solve your problem.

Or.. one could adjust the CSS for the class to reflect whatever the CSS for the ID is..

Hi Everyone.

I've been using this plugin for years & love it. I've found a weird problem with mine though. Googlebot & bingbot amongst others cannot see the sidebox on my homepage. Fine on every other page of my website but the homepage shows all sideboxes with the exception of Testimonials Manager. You can see this if you look at my homepage www.koolbadges.co.uk in googles cache. I can't for the life of me figure out why it doesn't display on the homepage but is fine on every other page. Your input would be much appreciated.

If you fetch as bingbot or googlebot in webmater tools you will see it simply doesn't render.

Thanks in advance

I am getting spam testimonials even though I have set 'Only registered customers may submit a testimonial', when I look at the customer submitting it I can't find it in my customer database, how is this happening, I tried to submit a testimonial the system tells me you need to be registered.

Any idea why how to fix this issue, I have google captcha but it's not set up for testimonials.

Any suggestions?

Not sure why I didn't see this before, but I just finished updating my form layout and did a test. Got an error to pop-up even through all worked as expected.

Server OS: Linux
Database: MySQL 5.6.23
PHP Version: 5.4.45

error log states at line 13, PHP Warning: mysql_insert_id(): Access denied for user

in /includes/modules/pages/testimonials_add/header_php.php look for the following three lines

13  require(DIR_WS_FUNCTIONS . 'testimonials.php');

29  $testimonials_id = zen_db_prepare_input($_POST['testimonials_id']);

93  $testimonials_id = zen_db_insert_id();

you can comment them out or delete all three lines, no need for them. If for some reason you want to keep the id, use

$db->Insert_ID()
instead of
zen_db_insert_id()

you can Remove the file /functions/testimonials.php it's not needed and calls to mysql_insert_id() which creates the error. This may not be an issue with older PHP versions.

You don't say which version of Zen Cart you're using, but having that direct mysql_ function call isn't going to "play nice" with Zen Cart v1.5.2 or later (since those later versions use mysqli_ function calls).

Zen Cart 1.5.4

Missed adding that bit... the id is not used at all in the way the code is asking, so removing it completely wouldn't heart anything even for later versions.

FWIW, that's what I've been doing on installations that require this plugin.
