you could use a blank sidebox available through the download section and set up a static page for your detailed testimonials. Putting a link in the sidebox to your page.

The admin editable sidebox would probably be better.. BUT if we continue this line of discussion (alternatives to this add-on) we should move it off of this support thread..

I am currently busy with my site to convert to 139, but I am getting an error when installing this script.

I am currently working in Xampp for my site to get right before I go live

What am I doing wrong?

I get also this error by installing a new version of the software.
And the SQL version of Xampp is 5.5.20

So you are installing testimonials manager on zen cart v1.3.9 correct?

The problem you are having is the engine type, TYPE=MyISAM.
in the install.sql. To correct this just remove the code
) TYPE=MyISAM ; to show );

Just copy this install.sql

TYPE=MyISAM

TYPE is deprecated
use ENGINE instead

ENGINE=MyISAM

Thank you that was the trick to solve it.
But I'm against another problem.

In my Live store, I have under tools a button for testimonial manager , I miss this in version 1.39 and I can see him even to activate the testmonial sitebox.

Do I missing something?

I have also try the code from countrycharm

[Andy-C27]

Could I ask .How difficult would it be to add the 5 star system to testimonials. As I find it so much easier than reviews

thanks

@ Brian
you could use a blank sidebox available through the download section and set up a static page for your detailed testimonials. Putting a link in the sidebox to your page.

The blank sidebox worked great! Thank you!
