Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[willie bee]

You need to define this (META_TAG_TITLE_DISPLAY_ALL_TESTIMONIALS) in includes/languages/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta-tags.php (around line(s) 38 - 40)

// Per-Page meta-tags. Follow this pattern for individual pages you wish to override. This is useful mainly for additional pages.
// replace "page_name" with the UPPERCASE name of your main_page= value, such as ABOUT_US or SHIPPINGINFO etc.
// repeat pattern as necessary
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_page_name','');
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_page_name','');
define('META_TAG_TITLE_page_name', '');

you mean includes/modules/blah blah, right? not languages? also this ain't in the instructions.

Please refer to posts 1226 - 1231 concerning adding meta tags.

I have been using this to display random facts for over a year now. The client has requested a new site design, and there has been an update to the testimonial manager code.

The new site design does not use actual sideboxes; the items on the left column are hard coded into the template.

I would like to randomly display the facts as before, but I'm not sure what to include in my template.

the site is here:
http://biadchili.com/pepper/

the 'all testimonials page' is here:
http://biadchili.com/pepper/index.ph...l_testimonials

I actually do not want to display everything, just have them randomly displayed on the left column; the sideboxes are turned on

this is the code I've used to display this on the left column, but it is not showing:

<?php require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_testimonials_manager_default.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'templates'). '/tpl_testimonials_manager_default.php'); 
                        ?>

Your going to need to figure out how to combine the code from:

includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/testimonials_manager.php

AND

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_testimonials_manager.php

edit this file

/includes/languages/english/CUSTOM_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php


In the // Per-Page meta-tags section

make the tags look like this

define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_page_name','');

define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_PAGE_page_name','');

define('META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ALL_TESTIMONIALS', '');
    
    
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION_page_name','');

define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS_PAGE_page_name','');

define('META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER', ''); 

See if this gets working going for you.

Version 1.3.8a.
I've installed your add-on. Everything went smoothly and works except for the "Add a Testimonial" link. Only a blank white screen appears whether I click on the link from the sidebox or from a page while viewing another testimonial.
I've double-checked that I've uploaded all the files to the appropriate locations on my server.
Which files would affect this issue? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!

There are two differences between the names of the files I downloaded and what you listed above. The download included:
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_display_all_testimonials_default
instead ofincludes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_manager_all_testimonials_default.php
(The other two files are the same in that folder.)
AND
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/display_all_testimonials
instead ofincludes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/css/testimonials_manager_all_testimonials.css

I also noticed when the cursors hovers over the "Add A Testimonial" link that the following appears at the bottom of the window:
/index.php?main_page=testimonials_add&zenid951779c1ebbfbb
What's the "&zenid951779c1ebbfbb"?
Thanks.
