Hello,
I have tried to install this module on my test offline site which is running Zen v1.3.9h, php version 5.3.5, database MySQL 5.5.8 and I am getting the following error in Zen when I run the install sql for the testimonial addon, can you please advise what issue is and let me know if you need any additional information. (I have changed YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match mine which is CUSTOM.

Ok I have since looked in Zen Configuration menu and Testimonials Manager is there however when I go to my test site I don't see it, do I need to setup anything else? I have added install part to my style sheet.

Ok silly me didn't upload files. I have added install part to my style sheet and uploaded files, activated sidebox and am now getting below error on site where sideboxes should appear.

1146 Table 'aescrapb.testimonials_manager' doesn't exist
in:
[select testimonials_id, testimonials_image, testimonials_title, testimonials_html_text, date_added from testimonials_manager where status = 1 and language_id = 1 order by rand(), testimonials_title limit 5].

Any suggestions?
Regards Cheryl.

Sorry, me again This now goes back to original problem I think. I ran the install sql in my phpMyAdmin on my data base and got the same error as before; #1064 - You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 'TYPE=MyISAM' at line 18

As I don't know to much about syntax I cannot workout what is not right in sql. The end of the install script has the following;
... `last_update` datetime NULL default NULL,
PRIMARY KEY (`testimonials_id`)
) TYPE=MyISAM ;

INSERT INTO `testimonials_manager` VALUES (1, 1, 'Great', '', 'Clyde Designs', '', 'This is just a test submission to show you how it looks, great, eh?', '[email protected]', NULL, NULL, NULL, 0, 1, now(), NULL);

Can you please advise what issue is with syntax in install script, thanks.
Cheryl.

From the readme.file
( Administrators may optionally add an image as well as a link to the author's site. )

admin -> tools -> testimonial manager

Either edit an existing testimonial or create a new one.
