Testimonial Manager Support Thread

For version 1.5.0 (the most recent)

1. Here's the section from tpl_testimonials_add_default.php for those two section (lines 94 - 111)

2. This is the css for testimonials_add.css see no references to background url *.png's

yes, so i changed the php to this:

<li> 
<label class="inputLabel" for="testimonials_title"><?php echo (($error == true && $entry_title_error == true) ? TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_TITLE . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_HEIGHT) : TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_TITLE . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_HEIGHT)); ?></label> 
<?php echo (($error == true && $entry_title_error == true) ? zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_title', '$testimonials_title', 'size="25" id="testimonials_title"') . ERROR_TESTIMONIALS_TITLE_REQUIRED : zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_title', '$testimonials_title', 'size="25" id="testimonials_title"')); ?> 
</li> 
<?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION_INFO ; ?> 
<?php if ($error == true && $entry_description_error == true) { ?> 
<li> 
<label class="inputLabel" for="testimonials_html_text"><?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></label> 
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('testimonials_html_text', '30', '7', '$testimonials_html_text', 'id="testimonials_html_text"') . ERROR_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION_REQUIRED; ?> 
</li> 
<?php } else {  ?> 
<?php if ($error == true && $entry_description_big_error == true) { ?> 
<li> 
<label class="inputLabel" for="testimonials_html_text"><?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></label> 
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('testimonials_html_text', '30', '7', '$testimonials_html_text', 'id="testimonials_html_text"') . ERROR_TESTIMONIALS_TEXT_MAX_LENGTH; ?> 
</li> 
<?php } else {  ?> 
<li> 
<label class="inputLabel" for="testimonials_html_text"><?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></label> 
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('testimonials_html_text', '30', '7', '$testimonials_html_text', 'id="testimonials_html_text"'); ?> 
</li> 
<?php }  
} 
?>

1. Is there a particular reason not to do so? (ie, did i introduce drawbacks?)


2. ehrm, now i am really puzzled :)
i am sure i never put it in there so it is probably a left over from an initial version, and i obviously didn't overwrite it with the current one. Anyway, forget, move on...

thanks,
Jeroen

1. no, no drawbacks, but you can replace that section with the following: I've added some code to re-display a truncated testimonial if it exceeds the maximum length you've set.

<li>
<label for="testimonials_title"><?php echo (($error == true && $entry_title_error == true) ? TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_TITLE . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_HEIGHT) : TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_TITLE . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_HEIGHT)); ?></label>
<?php echo (($error == true && $entry_title_error == true) ? zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_title', $testimonials_title, 'size="25" id="testimonials_title"') . ERROR_TESTIMONIALS_TITLE_REQUIRED : zen_draw_input_field('testimonials_title', $testimonials_title, 'size="25" id="testimonials_title"')); ?>
</li>
<?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION_INFO ; ?>
<?php if ($error == true && $entry_description_error == true) { ?>
<?php $testimonials_html_text = zen_trunc_string($testimonials_html_text,ENTRY_TESTIMONIALS_TEXT_MIN_LENGTH); ?>
<li>
<label for="testimonials_html_text"><?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('testimonials_html_text', '30', '7', $testimonials_html_text, 'id="testimonials_html_text"') . ERROR_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION_REQUIRED; ?>
</li>
<?php } else {  ?>
<?php if ($error == true && $entry_description_big_error == true) { ?>
<?php $testimonials_html_text = zen_trunc_string($testimonials_html_text,ENTRY_TESTIMONIALS_TEXT_MAX_LENGTH); ?>
<li>
<label for="testimonials_html_text"><?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_WARNING_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('testimonials_html_text', '30', '7', $testimonials_html_text, 'id="testimonials_html_text"') . ERROR_TESTIMONIALS_TEXT_MAX_LENGTH; ?>
</li>
<?php } else {  ?>
<li>
<label for="testimonials_html_text"><?php echo TEXT_TESTIMONIALS_DESCRIPTION . zen_image($template->get_template_dir(RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'images'). '/' . RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_ALT, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_WIDTH, RETURN_REQUIRED_IMAGE_HEIGHT); ?></label>
<?php echo zen_draw_textarea_field('testimonials_html_text', '30', '7', $testimonials_html_text, 'id="testimonials_html_text"'); ?>
</li>
<?php } 
}
?>

You should use the css I included since the formatting for the form has changed and the new css takes care of that.

zen_trunc_string, another function introduced for me, learning every day :)
Thanks a lot, Clyde, rechecking my css's as we speak...

Anyway to get this mod to display on the center column, main page only>?

No, it is written to use separate pages.

Nice Work Clyde "As Usual" Thanks

I skipped the last 81 pages so go ahead and flame me if this is a rhetorical question.

Are You planing an add-on that would allow the user to upload an image, possibly use IH2 to resize the image and provide image hover effect, then use lightbox or hoverbox to zoom the image?

Just a thought.

ooops - Delete

Thanks Again

I would like to remove the requirement for a Testimonial Title to be entered by the customer. I can remove the relevant text and form part from the 'add my testimonial' page, but there is obviously more to be done/commented out to stop error messages appearing.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Well you could add an option to the Testimonial Manager configuration table to display or not display the title.

Then add conditional statements to
includes/modules/pages/testimonial_add/header_php.php
and
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_add_default.php

[simon1066]

That's great, thanks for your help Clyde.
