Testimonial Manager Support Thread

Here it is

Many thanks.

Chris.

right off hand, it appears you may not have uploaded all the files.

you should have

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_manager_default.php
(this file controls the single view of testimonials)

it also appears that you're missing the css files for testimonials manager.

Hi Clyde,
I have now made sure that everything is uploaded as it should be. I now have the testimonials correctly formatted with the CSS, but still have the problem of the linked titles and 'read more' links going to a 404?

Do you think it might be because I am hosting in a subfolder or something? I have no idea why this is happening but I've obviously missed something out along the way.



P.S. One of the things that does not look right is that when I go to layout boxes controller, it says sideboxes/iC_AthemeJoomla/testimonials_manager.php with the sideboxes/iC_AthemeJoomla/ displayed in red, but I assume that is becuase I have installed it in a subfolder for my template?

iC_AthemeJoomla this would be the name of your custom template.

Just as a double check -
You should have the following files located as indicated:

Ok Clyde, I have double checked all of those now, but still no luck.

The only time I can get to see the testimonial is if I manually copy, paste, then delete the .php part from the URL that the "Read More" link is directed to.

Any ideas?

ATT: CLYDE.

I think I've fixed it now.

In includes>>>extra_datafiles>>>testimonials_manager.php

the following appears at line 13 :

define('FILENAME_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER', 'testimonials_manager.php');
?>

which I have edited to state:

define('FILENAME_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER', 'testimonials_manager');
?>

and it seems to have done the trick.

I just hope it doesn't bugger up anything else! :)

That's very strange, The version of testimonials manager in the downloads section contains the correct define statement in includes/extra_datafiles

In any case I'm glad you got it working.

Hi Clyde,
I've just downloaded a new copy, and the problem remains the same. Perhaps you might check?

As you open up the zip file, new_installation>>>>admin>>>>includes>>>>extra_datafiles>>>>testimonials_manager .php

you will find the code above. Since correcting it the module works on my site.

And since you helped me upload the CSS file, it even looks nice too.

Thanks for providing what looks like it might be a really useful mod for my site. (I didn't realise you were the author of the mod until I checked just now).
