Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[Rob905]

Good day Clyde

I just downloaded and installed TM on my 1.3.8a site www.robertensing.com

I can see the options in admin for Testimonials Manager as well as Tools > Testimonial Manager with 1 test in there, but I don't see the side-box to activate the feature on my site. :-(

Any idea what I did wrong?

Thanks for the great mod by the way. I run several sites that use ZC and I'm sure a couple will be using this mod when I figure it out.

Never mind, I must have missed a file during the uploads it seems to be working now.
Thanks again.

First, the obvious question -

Did you activate the sidebox in admin -> tools -> layout boxes controller

Second: make sure you've uploaded the following:

includes/modules/sideboxes/YOUR_TEMPLATE/testimonials_manager.php

Thanks for the speedy reply, you must have been on the site while I was updating my original post.

The problem was that there was no sidebox to activate but after doing a mass upload it seems to have been resolved.

Thanks again for a great Mod.

Hi Guys,

Can anybody help, I'm trying to display this sidebox on only my index page... I've added the following to my testimonials_manager.php but it doesn't have an effect:

$show_testimonials_manager = false;
if ($_GET['main_page'] == 'index') {
$show_testimonials_manager = true;
} else {
$show_testimonials_manager = false;
}

Try it with the highlighted change.

$show_testimonials_manager = false;
if ($this_is_home_page) {
$show_testimonials_manager = true;
} else {
$show_testimonials_manager = false;
}

Don't forget that you'll need to add the following to surround the the main section of code:

if ($show_testimonials_manager == true) {

main portion of code

}

Cool, thanks for the help. This little chunk of code got it working properly for anyone that's interested:

$show_testimonials_manager = true;

if ($this_is_home_page) {
$show_testimonials_manager = true;
} else {
$show_testimonials_manager = false;
}

if ($show_testimonials_manager == true) {

Just wondering if there is a way to have the testimonials for a certain product show up on the product page itself? i am sure there is a bit of coding to do this...but wondering just how hard it would be?

For example I have "Jazzy Jeans" there are 3 comments on my testimonials page for these jeans....I would like to have JUST those (3) comments show up on my Jazzy Jeans product page underneath the product images....can this be done?!?!?

THanks!!!

testimonials are meant to show kudos to your customer support, shipping policies, and all around general experience with shopping with you.

What you are looking for is Customer Reviews, which are the reviews by the customers of a certain/specific product. To do that, they would have to go to that specific product and write a review.

You can then set it to show the latest review on that product, and there is also a link there in the product listing that they can click to view ALL reviews on the product.
