Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[ndudman]

p.s

I also added a more polite redirect if the user should login... i.e it displays a warning message at the top of the login so the user knows why he's go to the login page and not the add-testimonial...

Sorry I hadn't checked here on the thread... perhaps I would of made modifications differently... don't want to seem rude or anything...

Its a great module... by the way :) Thanks

Clyde,

I've got the Testimonial Manager installed. There seems to be a few glitches.

Here's a link:

If I create and then go back, edit and update a testimonial in the Admin, after I update the image goes away and it says, "IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST". It's not deleting the image from the server, just from the testimonial.

I figured out I had to make a testimonials folder in MY_CUSTOM/images/ folder for the images to save there. Maybe that should be in the instructions.

Sometimes, in the Admin, the editor is plain text, sometimes the HTMLarea editor. Right now it seems to be sticking on the HTMLarea editor, which is fine. Just thought I'd mention that.

Do you notice the

— , U.S.A. —

The long dash marks ( — ) that appears where a city, state or company would be? On your test submission, it doesn't have that. I noticed your entry doesn't have any city, state, country or company. If I add one then your entry shows the dashes between where they would be. Is there some way to get rid of those extra dashes when someone doesn't fill in the optional fields?

Also, as I stated in a reply to this thread:
http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showthread.php?t=64743

I had to completely delete the testomonial_functions.php from the admin/includes/functions/extra_functions folder before the Testimonial Manager would even work. (Testimonial was misspelled in the name of that file. I first tried correcting the spelling, but that didn't change anything.)

If there was some way a customer could submit an image that would be great!

Overall, I really like this add-on, Thanks a lot!

Which version of Testimonial Manager are you using? That file in the current version in the downloads section seems to be correct testimonials_manager_functions.php

Testimonial Manager doesn't use HTMLarea or make any calls to it.

I'm working on a fix for this.

By default The image directory is set as images/testimonials/ in the admin options. But I'll clarify this in the readme file.

This should fix this problem:

Just unzip the file and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Is this fix specifically for those dashes? I'm interested in this solution as well if it is.

Thank you!

Yes it is. If you download the zip file You will have to rename the my_custom_1 folder under the templates folder.

Hi Clyde,

Sorry for the late reply. I just noticed that you had replied inline with some questions.

First, the folder that I downloaded and unzipped says, "testimonial_manager_v1-4-6"

The readme and install text files both say, "Version: 1.4.5"

It was a new installation. I thought I downloaded it the same day (or possibly the day before) I posted about the problem.

----

There still is testimonials_manager_functions.php in the
admin/includes/functions/extra_functions folder, but I deleted the testomonial_functions.php from that folder and the error went away and nothing seems broken.

----

I would still be interested in buyers being able to also upload an image along with their testimonial.

Also, having the testimonials set to show one but then scroll or fade to the next one (in the sidebox) would be great.

---

Thanks for the fix for the extra dashes, that worked perfectly. I really appreciate your help.

I know that the readme file needs some work and I'll take care of that with the next version.

To be honest I'm not a big fan of "scrolling" sideboxes and usually just create static ones. the Scrollling <marquee> tag causes html validation errors.

Having users Not upload images and relegate that to admin was again a compromise when building the mod.

(I'm always willing to customize things on request.)

Thank you so much!

Hello
I've downloaded TM - and it works "yay" - is a really nice contribution

However - images: can't get them to appear.....I browse & download image, hit "update"; system tells me it was successful; front page says "image does not exist" and if I go back in to edit again, no image.

Not sure what to do?

Many thanks
