Testimonial Manager Support Thread (for ZC v1.5.x)

[DivaVocals]

Hi,
I have the same issue with page title of testimonial manager.
I tried to look into metatags.php in my langauges folder. There is no such line " META_TAG_TITLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ALL_TESTIMONIALS
META_TAG_TITLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER"

But the testimonial manager seems to be working fine.
IS there something wrong with the way i have installed testimonial manager ?
Please let me know
Thanks

Any inputs ??
I am using 1.3.9h.
Is that making any difference ?

This is solved!

Thanks !

Hi Everyone...I have installed the TM on a site and we were hoping to use it as a project gallery but I cannot remove the words "Testimonial By" with it crashing the entire site. Can the testimonials_manager_defines.php not be edited at all?

Thanks.

you need to be specific.. what edits are you making? What happens when "it crashes"

I am trying to change the area that read: Testimonial By to read Project Submitted By and when i tried to change ANYTHING in that particular file I lose my entire store. I end up with a white page...but it's only on that file. I managed to change everything else except that one spot.

Thanks...

You're possibly removing a ' or ;
Can you post specific details of the file you are trying to edit and post the before and after code. You should also have an error code generated in your log or cache folder.

Hello

Just installed this module today and all appears to be working. I have manually added 5 testimonials I received via email, is there any way of limiting how many testimonials are displayed? As my list of testimonials is now longer than the rest of my content on some pages, and leaves a big white space at the bottom of the page ( I am using the testimonials in the right hand column). Could I for example limit the number displayed to 3 testimonials, that randomly change each time the page is loaded.

ok let me try this again because you're not giving us the information we need to help you. We cannot see what you did to you have to help us.. When you say you are making changes, you need to tell us exactly what changes you are trying to make and to what file. Telling us you made a change to file but not telling us what that change is isn't exactly going to help us help you. Show us the code changes you made.

Secondly blank pages means you've got an error of some kind which means that an error log record was probably generated.. tell us what the error log says.

If you cannot provide this information we're going to be spending our time guessing at what your issue might be. if you can give us some specifics we can get down to the heart of your issue. I'm not going to spend time guessing at what you did.. help us help you.. give the specifics of what you have done and we can help.

There's a setting for that in admin.

I have now found the testimonial settings in the admin panel, thanks. If others need it they are under Admin > Configuration > Testimonials Manager.

Okay...I am trying to change the testimonials_manager_defines.php in the extra definitions folder. This is what it looks like:

*/

define('BOX_HEADING_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER', 'Testimonials');
define('TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_DISPLAY_ALL_TESTIMONIALS', 'View All Testimonials');
define('TESTIMONIALS_BY', 'Testimonial By: '); --> I am trying to change this to read: Project Submitted By
define('TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_ADD_TESTIMONIALS', 'Add A Testimonial');

//Button Defines

define('BUTTON_TESTIMONIALS_ADD_ALT', 'Add My Testimonial');

define('CITY_STATE_SEPARATOR', ',&nbsp;');
define('NAME_SEPARATOR', '&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;');
define('TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_READ_MORE', 'Read More ->');

define('TESTIMONIALS_SUBMIT_THANKS', '<h3>Thank you for submitting a testimonial!</h3>');
define('TESTIMONIALS_SUBMIT_MESSAGE', '<p>Your testimonial will be actived as soon as our store manager reviews it.## If you have any questions regarding your testimonial, please contact us.</p><br /><h4>Thanks Again, we look forward to serving you in the future.</h4>');
//EOF

Please see "red" area up top. When I change that (and leave the quotes in tact) the entire site goes to a blank white page. If I reload the original file, the site is restored. There is something about this file that is not letting my customize the text. I hope this clarifies the issue I'm having a bit better. Thanks for your help.
