Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[clydejones]

Resolved Issue #2: Page title when viewing the testimonials- META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIAL_MANGER<testimonial title> Not exactly sure what caused this. Not sure how to fix it.

It was the code I entered in the meta_tags.php file. Removed

the
//TESTIMONIALS:
case 'testimonials_manager_all_testimonials':.... code

Still need help figuring out the width issue

Minotaur1066

When the testimonial is displayed the testimonials width is to wide and disrupts the template. I cannot find in any of the stylesheets where I can change the width of the testimonials and the only entry in the forum was from a couple years ago from a person from asia who had other issues.

Have you checked the Apple Zen support thread for similar issues?

In the Admin Settings add-on, Permissions, Testimonial Manager is listed twice and both need to be marked in order for any of the other admins on Mustang's site.
Like I said these issues do not impact the functionality of the tool, they are just curiosities and unexpected.

Check the admin profiles support thread on this issue.

when clicking on Add Testimonial. The *Required is displayed twice next to the Author's Name, Author's E-Mail, and Testimonial Title fields- since this is the first time I have seen this add-on, I am not sure if this is intentional or not.

The *Required should only display once after each of these entries.
Try this fix and see if it helps.

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

Yes- I did not find anything so I posted a question. Jade , just like yourself, is very good about helping those who use the add-ons which one has developed. I will be sure to post the solution on this thread as well- with the popularity of both Apple Zen and Testimonial Manager, I am sure I will not be the only one to encounter this issue.

On my to do list...

when clicking on Add Testimonial. The *Required is displayed twice next to the Author's Name, Author's E-Mail, and Testimonial Title fields- since this is the first time I have seen this add-on, I am not sure if this is intentional or not.

I appreciate the help but alas after uploading the admin folder, I still have double *required.. Like I said this is not as important as resolving the template displacement when viewing the testimonials. I do appreciate your help with it though.

open the following css files:

display_all_testimonials.css

testimonials_manager.css

replace the following line of code:

#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}

with this

#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;width:76.8%;}

That got me closer- I will tweak the % to get it as close as possible
Thanks again- You are awesome.

Or you could do as Jade suggested in her post on this issue.
Just delete that line of code altogether.

That did the trick- Instead of just removing the code, I just remarked it out.

So if others have the same issue here is what I did with the wonderful instructions and guidance from Clyde & Jade.

In the /includes/templates/apple_zen/css folder, I opened the

display_all_testimonials.css, testimonial_manager.css and testimonial_manager_all_testimonials.css.

Found the very first line of code:

#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}

and changed to

/*#testimonialDefault{margin:0 5px;padding:8px;font-size:1.2em;text-align:left;}*/

Thanks again Clyde & Jade- This is why I love open source software

Glad its working out.

I'm thinking about adding this mod and am curious as to how you guys manage to get folks to submit testimonials. Any advice on that?

[kevinc66]

To get folks to submit real testimonials, there must be something to write about. Maybe your excelent customer service or perhaps your products help them solve their daily problems.
