Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[clydejones]

They were already there. Been trying to get things centered up using those css files but so far no luck. That's one of my knit picks is to have things not centered on a page or in a box. Not really up on css yet so I've been fighting it all afternoon. Tried the old html and it worked on the titles but I guess the options in css are overriding most any html that I try to use.

That was good to know about those fields. I didn't even try to add another after I turned them off, or I might had noticed what happened and saved a question. Guess I need a crash course on css, if I can find one somewhere.

Thanks again,
DJ

The reason I mentioned making sure they were uploaded was that when I checked your site, the stylesheets for testimonial manager were missing as were the add on declarations for the stylesheet.css

I think that it looked that way because I deleted the whole blockquote instead of just the url link for the quote images. I put it back and removed the actual image link and changed the padding to 0.

Sorry about that, it was a long day and I was kinda in a fog when I did the first try.

I know it's probably not a great idea, but if one wanted to allow simple html, could it be done? Just the basic text formatting options like < br >, < b >, etc. or would that create a nightmare?

You can make any changes you want, but it is a little easier to just add/change the following declarations in the stylesheets: as indicated by the highlights. That way you don't need to touch the underlying code at all.

testimonials_manager.css and display_all_testimonials.css

#testimonialDefault p{font-weight:bold;}

blockquote div {
padding:38px 56px;
background: url(../images/rgtblockquote.png) bottom right no-repeat;
height:1%;

text-align:center;
font-weight:bold;
}

That was much easier than I imagined. Guess it helps to know css.

Thanks!

Any hitches can be sorted out here, but more than likely, they already have been answered here. So my advise would be to scan this thread and read the instructions!

Not much else can be offered, just follow the instructions and it goes really smooth. I had it working in a few minute although it took awhile to modify things that I wanted. Straight out of the box works for most people.

Change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folders to match the name of your custom template directory.

Open xampp/htdocs

Then just copy the admin and includes folders to the where you have Zen Cart installed

open localhost/LOCATION_OF_ZENCART/admin

Then in the tools -> install sql patch

run the install sql statement as instructed

Thanks for all your reply.

Hi Clyde, It is obvious the amount of work you put into this mod, so I would like to see it working well on our site.

I loaded the mod and all seemed to be where it should be, custom override and admin directory names were changed. Double and triple checked all...

I did get several errors from the sql install:
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "UPLOAD_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "TEXT_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists

Everything in admin works fine, I set the sidebox to on, configured settings and added a test testimonial......

The sidebox is not showing......any clues?

I've re-loaded the sql and files several times, same thing...

www. misasfashioncafe .com (site is Japanese)

Thanks in advance, Robert

The error messages can safely be ignored since they only confirm that that particular information already exists in the database.

I was going to submit a test testimonial directly from the site but was unable to create an account (I'm guessing because there is no option to create an account if you are not from Japan - The only country available in the dropdown list)

Off hand, I'm thinking that your test testimonial was in english and you submitted it from admin while using english as the language.

Try switching languages to Japanese in admin and then submit a testimonial
