...boy am I having a blond moment.....


That was it. I didn't realize how many areas there were. You might want to consider listing it in the read me file.

Is there anyway I can make email and URL optional?

admin side or catalog side?

[TrvlFox]

I guess Admin side or both. I don't want to have people email my customers when they might not want that. I rather keep it optional

E-mail addresses do not (by default) appear in any testimonials. So no one reading a testimonial would be able to e-mail your customers. and is available on the admin side.

The e-mail address is there for you in case you would like to contact the author of the testimonial.

There is no URL option on the add testimonial page.

The URL option in admin is optional.

Here is an example of the testimonials mod in use. As you can see there are no email addresses anywhere.

Hey thanks so much! See that now. So it all makes perfect sense to me.

I have it running on my site, and I'm adding last years emails. So I was only focusing on the admin side.


Thanks again

I love this... perfect to promote in general my store rather than using review for one item!

I know you said that the email on the customer side doesn't show up and it doesn't for me either, but I'd swear it did on my first test testimonial I wrote as a test, I think that might be why some people ask about that. It's odd, because I would swear I saw that on the customer side and wrote to you then about removing it, and then after seeing your response I saw you were right about how they don't show up, but it does make me curious why other people might be asking that same question.

Either or, that's not what I'm writing to about today, I am writing to ask if it's at all possible for you to allow us to set our own path for the images. I prefer that images don't go to images/ but instead I would have made a folder in images for testimonials so they'd go to images/testimonials or perhaps I'd use an already created folder.

I ask this because it can somtimes take folders along time to load after they get so many files in them and it would be nicer if we could sort these to a folder of our choice.

This is still an amazing addon, and my client loves it on her site.

Please give this a consideration.

Thank you,

Marian

Funny you should ask! I've been working on this as an added option. I haven't posted an update to the downloads section yet though. Two other options allow you to set the height and width of the image(s).

So... Here you are.

As always Backup First. unzip the file, copy and paste the upgrade_testimonial_manager.sql to admin -> tools -> install sql patches and click the send button.

Rename the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom folder name. (includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE)

upload the admin and includes folders to your server.

You will also have to reconfigure testimonial manager admin -> configuration -> testimonial manager

The image HEIGHT and WIDTH default to 80
The image directory defaults to "testimonials/"
