A link to your site would be useful

Admin -> Tools -> Testimonials Manager allows administrators to create & edit testimonials

I do not see this option under Admin > Tools.

Everything else installed fine other than receiving these errors:
https://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showp...&postcount=870

The sidebox shows up when turned on (but turned it off for now, since I cannot delete the demo testimonial)

Ideas?

make sure you've uploaded ALL of the following:

admin/testimonials_manager.php
admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/testimonials_manager_tools_dhtml.php
admin/includes/extra_datafiles/testimonials_manager.php
admin/includes/functions/extra_functions/testimonials_manager_functions.php

I did. And just in case, I just did it again... I still do not see the option in the Tools menu.

Before uploading everything I ran the files with WinMerge to verify if there were any conflicts. There were no files being overridden. I also modified the stylesheet.css file. I have not modified the meta_tags file yet.

I am running Zen Cart 1.3.8a with all security patches applied.

Did you verify that these files are in your admin folder?? Has your admin folder been renamed??

Has your admin folder been renamed??

[DivaVocals]

This contribution is great. Thank you Clyde.

Everything seems to be working fine for me now. Below are further comments and questions.

Tweak: to make this side box similar to the Reviews one, instead of “false”, I set the "title link" to display_all_testimonials in includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_Template/testimonials_manager... and turned off the link at the bottom.

1. Minor bug: When adding a testimonial from the admin, if you insert a past date and forget to fill out a required field or if you do not format the date as suggested, after giving you an error it will change the date field to a random date. You cannot modify that date from the admin once you submit the testimonial. To correct that you need to delete and reenter the testimonial.

2. Is there an easy admin fix to change just the “Testimonial submission” email address sent to the store owner? Or should I change that in the code (and where/how)?

3. I would like to have the single testimonial breadcrumbs to be a sub-page of the All Testimonials page, using a tweak similar to this for EZ-Pages:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpo...40&postcount=7

Any ideas on how to implement that?

4. Is there a way to allow customers to upload their own picture?

5. Is it possible for the side box to rotate only the testimonials that do have pictures?

6. For a future update, the language in the submission email has a minor misspelling :"Please verify thie testimonial and activate."

The e-mail address used is the one you have set in admin -> configuration -> e-mail options.
If you want to change it to something else then you will have to define the new e-mail address in:
includes/languages/english/YOUR_TEMPLATE/testimonials_add.php
Now you will need to modify the section that sends the admin e-mail in
includes/modules/pages/testimonials_add/header_php.php

4. Is there a way to allow customers to upload their own picture?
Currently, No.

5. Is it possible for the side box to rotate only the testimonials that do have pictures?
Currently, No.
