hiya

ive just installed this to my new shop and i went to install the sql file and got this error

SQL query:

INSERT INTO `configuration`
VALUES (

NULL , 'Product option type Select', 'PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT', '0', 'The number representing the Select type of product option.', 0, NULL , NULL , now( ) , NULL , NULL
)
MySQL said:

#1062 - Duplicate entry 'PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT' for key 2


and at the top of the admin page:

33 statements processed.
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT" because it already exists
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "UPLOAD_PREFIX" because it already exists
ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "TEXT_PREFIX" because it already exists
Note: 3 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

and how do you turn the email option off? i cant find it anywhere as i really dont require customes to put in their email addy to make a review

any ideas?

thanks

edit to add.... i seem to have it working in the admin but nothing showing up in the shopfront

Those errors just mean that the information already exists in the database and can be ignored.

for the front end make sure you have uploaded ALL the following folders/files

Hey Clyde,
What a great mod...thank you very much! I have this installed on two sites, however, on this one I cannot see where a customer can upload their image, nor do I see this capability in the admin side. It does not show up anywhere.

I downloaded Ver. 1.5.1 and double-checked to see if all files had uploaded during the FTP transfer.

What am I missing here? The site is not complete, therefore, if you need to see a link I will have to pm it to you.

I really appreciate your help!

Hi perkiekat,

I integrated the mod.... its working fine however like you I cannot see where a customer can upload their image. Although admin can upload the image by editing the testimonial submitted by the customer. Can you please help me to fix the problem.

Thanks in advance...

The mod is not set up to allow customers to upload images.

The mod is not set up to allow customers to upload images.

When I posted about not being able to find where a customer could upload images, I re-read the instructions that comes with the mod (great mod by the way!)...I read where Administrator could upload images. I did not see where a customer had this ability...and for good reason...I wouldn't want someone to upload a file that could do more harm than good. I also would not want to monitor the site making sure the customer did not do this. So making this for the administrator side is better in my opinion.
I did state on the testimonial page if they choose to send a image they could and we would make sure to post it with the testimony.
The client has decided to use this to post the product the customer purchased with a link to the page to buy the item. This is another great way of promoting items that have sold.

I can not see to work out how to del the tester testimonial, I look for the tool in readme but its not there.

Don't know if this has been reported before but I just installed this new version for a customer and we will having the issue of the testimonials not showing up when posting.

After rechecking that everything was uploaded correctly I headed to the database and noticed the language was "0". And then checked the database setup was set for "0" as default. I changed it to "1" since this customer only uses English.

Hello Clyde,

and thank you so much for your add on.
I am planning on translating it in several languages (French, Slovak, and maybe German, Spanish and Czech for now).

1- First, are there already available translations?

2- Secondly, if I do translate your addon, will you add the translations to your package? (If not, I am just gonna translate quickly what I need rather than doing it all perfectly)

3- Third, I just want to check with you what files and directories need to be translated:
- \new_installation\admin\includes\languages\english
- \new_installation\includes\languages\english
- \new_installation\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\buttons\english
- \upgrade\admin\includes\languages\english
- \upgrade\includes\languages\english
- \upgrade\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\buttons\english

4- I assume the above files in \new_installation\ are the same then in \upgrade\, true?

5- Could you please send me the editable buttons?

6- This question is not about your addon in particular, but how to handle addons and templates in general. I am trying to understand how addons work with templates in ZenCart. Please correct me if I am wrong:

Let say, I have 2 templates: classic and cherry_zen

If I have my file testimonials_manager.php located in:
\includes\modules\sideboxes\cherry_zen\testimonials_manager.php
Then it will be displayed in the cherry_zen template, but not in my other templates.

But if I place my file testimonials_manager.php in:
\includes\modules\sideboxes\
Then it will be displayed in all the templates.

Correct?
