Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[studiotucker]

Clyde, Thanks for getting back to me so quickly!....

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

....another one of those "DUH" moments...I created a Japanese file for >INCLUDES side, but not for >ADMIN. Sometimes it takes a slap in the back of the head....

It's working now, thanks for a great mod and your help.

Best regards,
Robert

Glad you got it working

Has anyone thought about a way to limit the number of testimonials that one user can post in a set timeframe? Kind of like spam control. I know if I saw a dozen or so in a few days from one user, that I would question the sincerity and validity of them, and I'm the store owner. Could do more harm than good!

Not really, no. Hadn't thought much about it since they'd need to be approved in any case.

That is true, probably would never come into play.

What I would really like to do is to reverse the display order. I think the last in/last displayed would work better for what I am trying to do. I searched the db and did not see anything that was the sort key so I figured it must be hard coded. Neither did I recognize anything in the tpl_display_all_testimonials_default file either that set the current display order.

On the display all testimonial page they are ordered by the date added and then the testimonial title.

something added yesterday would be shown after something added today (which is a last in, last displayed display)

I know it's there but I just don't see it. In the tpl_display_all_testimonials_default, I find a commented out line like that below, so that's not it, but in the

tpl_testimonials_manager_all_testimonials_default,

I find this:

$testimonials_query_raw = "select * from " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . " where status = 1 and language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' order by date_added DESC, testimonials_title ";

so I tried changing it to:

$testimonials_query_raw = "select * from " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . " where status = 1 and language_id = '" . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . "' order by testimonials_title, date_added DESC";

but that doesn't do anything.

Even tried removing the DESC with no success and even changed it to ASC.

So I am either in the wrong place or I'm not getting the message.

but that doesn't do anything.

Never mind, it wasn't in templates/

I found it in

modules/pages/display_all_testimonials/header_php.php

I reversed it like I did in the above attempt and it now sorts the way I need. Guess I was looking in the wrong place! Thanks!

Hi, is it possible to have the testimonials manager in the index page centered only rather than the sidebox?

Btw, thanks for the awesome add on!

Not without substantial re-write.
