Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[clydejones]

Hello Clyde,

and thank you so much for your add on.
I am planning on translating it in several languages (French, Slovak, and maybe German, Spanish and Czech for now).

1- First, are there already available translations?

2- Secondly, if I do translate your addon, will you add the translations to your package? (If not, I am just gonna translate quickly what I need rather than doing it all perfectly)

3- Third, I just want to check with you what files and directories need to be translated:
- \new_installation\admin\includes\languages\english
- \new_installation\includes\languages\english
- \new_installation\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\buttons\english
- \upgrade\admin\includes\languages\english
- \upgrade\includes\languages\english
- \upgrade\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\buttons\english

4- I assume the above files in \new_installation\ are the same then in \upgrade\, true?

5- Could you please send me the editable buttons?

6- This question is not about your addon in particular, but how to handle addons and templates in general. I am trying to understand how addons work with templates in ZenCart. Please correct me if I am wrong:

Let say, I have 2 templates: classic and cherry_zen

If I have my file testimonials_manager.php located in:
\includes\modules\sideboxes\cherry_zen\testimonials_manager.php
Then it will be displayed in the cherry_zen template, but not in my other templates.

But if I place my file testimonials_manager.php in:
\includes\modules\sideboxes\
Then it will be displayed in all the templates.

Correct?

#1 - To my knowledge there are no translations available.

#2 - If there were translations available, yes I would include them in the package.

#3 - The following files would need to be translated

- \new_installation\admin\includes\languages\english\testimonials_manager.php
- \new_installation\admin\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\testimonial s_manager.php
- \new_installation\includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\display_all_testimoni als.php
- \new_installation\includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\testimonials_add.php
- \new_installation\includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\testimonials_manager. php
- \new_installation\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR_TEMPLATE\tes timonials_manager_defines.php
- \new_installation\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\buttons\english

- \upgrade\admin\includes\languages\english\testimonials_manager.php
- \upgrade\admin\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\testimonials_manager .php
- \upgrade\includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\display_all_testimonials.php
- \upgrade\includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\testimonials_add.php
- \upgrade\includes\languages\english\YOUR_TEMPLATE\testimonials_manager.php
- \upgrade\includes\languages\english\extra_definitions\YOUR_TEMPLATE\testimonials _manager_defines.php
- \upgrade\includes\templates\YOUR_TEMPLATE\buttons\english

#4 - Yes

#5 - I use the Zen Button Construction Kit to create the buttons.

#6 - Your assumptions are correct.

Hi Clyde,

I have a problem: When in Admin>Tools>Testimonials Manager their are all the testimonials listed 10 per page. I have 30 testimonials: ie 3 pages of 10 testimonials listed. When on page 1 of the testimonials I have a sidebox on the right which contains



Edit Button / Delete Button

Status: Approved

IMAGE DOES NOT EXIST

Contact Name: #####

Contact Email: #####

Testimonial:

Testimonial Submitted: ####

This box is very handy as it shows a breakdown of details for each testimonial. HOWEVER this sidebox only appears on page 1 of 3. On page 2 and so on this box disappears?? Leaving me unable to edit any testimonial not listed on page 1. Is this deliberate or have I installed something wrong?

Thanks.

It should be displayed on each page.

But without actually seeing the problem "live" I can't offer a viable solution.

You could try uploading a clean copy of:

admin/testimonials_manager.php

from the the mod zip package.

Hi, I couldn't find an answer to this. I have two testimonials and both show on the home page testimonials side box. I only want one to show one on the home page only but can't find where to change this setting. Thanks.

Thanks, I had looked there previously but I don't actually have that option for some reason. The only options I have are:

Define Testimonial, which give the following options:

Enable the Defined Testimonial Link/Text?
0= Link ON, Define Text OFF
1= Link ON, Define Text ON
2= Link OFF, Define Text ON
3= Link OFF, Define Text OFF

Then it sounds like you need to run the following sql statement:
(admin -> tools -> install sql patches)
For best results, copy-and-paste the code into the query field and press 'Send'.


#Testimonials Manager upgrade SQL
# For Zen-Cart 1.3.8
# Version: 1.5.1
# Updated: 1/29/2010
# For best results, run this sql patch using the Zen-Cart Sql Patches tool
# (admin -> tools -> install sql patches)
# Cut-and-paste the code into the query field and press 'Send.
# New configuration options are added to the zen_configuration table.

in the package new_installation folder you'll find this one
