[clydejones]

jonisolis,

Here's your custom setup

unzip the file

run the enclosed sql statement from admin -> tools -> install sql patches

rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match your custom template

FTP both the admin and includes folders to your server.

Upload your images to your images directory.

Open admin -> tools -> testimonial manager

to edit your testimonials click the edit button on the right.

Add your links to the testimonial_url field.

browse to your images directory on your PC and select the appropriate image

click the update button

clyde,

unzipped the file and uploaded again. still no joy.

i've checked the final source code. i could see:
<div class="buttonRow back"><a href="http://img.maxsonic.co.uk/st/index.php?main_page=index"><img src="includes/templates/template_default/buttons/english/button_back.gif" alt="Back" title=" Back " width="105" height="29" /></a></div>
<div class="buttonRow forward"><a href="http://img.maxsonic.co.uk/st/index.php?main_page=testimonials_add</a></div>


i can see the add testimonial link but the problem looks like it can't locate the image button.

Clyde, you are the STAR!

thanks for the superb mod and your help!!!

Dear Clyde,

WOW, you are so sweet to do this custom work for me. I do hope many other people will find your custom work helpful for their sites. They could add a photo of the person leaving the testimonial. That is suppose to make the testimonial more believable.

I did notice that if I have to re-edit a testimonial that the URL disappears and then I have to edit it again and add the URL back in the URL spot.

Dear Clyde,

>You can see how the testimonials look with images here:

I see on your test site that your quote images are showing up and the image in the middle too. But now on my site the quote images have disappeared. But it looks OK with or without them.

The quote images were showing up before I added the new custom image code.

What is the size of your quote images?

[jonisolis]

36 px wide x 24 px high are my quote images in size.

Try working with the padding

blockquote div {
padding:38px 56px;
background: url(../images/rgtblockquote.png) bottom right no-repeat;
height:1%;
}

testimonials_manager.css

testimonials_manager_all_testimonials.css

Change them in increments of 10.

See if that helps

[jonisolis]

I tried a bunch of different padding sizes but the quote images never did show up again.

blockquote div {
padding:8px 6px;
background: url(../images/rgtblockquote.png) bottom right no-repeat;
height:1&#37;;
}

to

blockquote div {
padding:108px 106px;
background: url(../images/rgtblockquote.png) bottom right no-repeat;
height:1%;
}

But it is OK; it looks good with or with out the quote images.
