Testimonial Manager Support Thread

[clydejones]

Didn't think of that...I get this one over and over:

[11-Oct-2010 14:49:03] PHP Warning: fclose(): supplied argument is not a valid stream resource in /includes/templates/lite_red/sideboxes/tpl_static_rss_sidebox.php on line 64

I turned off the sidebox for the rss and still had the same problems submitting things.

You might want to check the support thread for the lite_red template to see if this issue has occurred before with the template.

I don't think it's the template. It's something I've done. I may need to redo the whole thing piece by piece and figure out what I boogered up! Thanks for the help tho :)

I don't know if it's a coincidence or not, but it seems that since the Zen Cart upgrade of 1.3.9g, we are getting a lot of SPAM in the testimonials. That is, we're seeing a lot of testimonials with some obvious spam message about visiting some website, etc.

Anyone else experiencing this as well?

I have yet to upgrade to the latest version of the Testimonial Module, so if this has been addressed in the latest release, I would like to know that as well. Just curious if anyone else has noticed a rise in submitted testimonial SPAM lately.

i've noticed a possible bug in the manager, when i go to view an individual post, the TITLE tag appears as code

I just upgraded to the latest version and still the same thing happens:

this is what shows up: <title>META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGERI will tell all my friends</title>

instead it should just be

<title>I will tell all my friends</title>

any ideas on a fix on this one?

Thanks

John

I'm assuming that you've add this to your includes/modules/YOUR_TEMPLATE/meta_tags.php

Just replace the defines in that file with the following:

    define('META_TAG_TITLE', $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);
    define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', zen_trunc_string($page_check->fields['testimonials_html_text'],TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH));
    define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);

Hi Clyde

thanks for the reply that solved it. i guess i had some OLD code i had this

    define('META_TAG_TITLE', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);
    define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . zen_trunc_string($page_check->fields['testimonials_html_text'],TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH));
    define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);

Hi,

Has anybody worked out how to make this mod into a scrolling one.

I have been trying for ages this morning but with no results. I've got the JScroller sidebox package but am unsure about what I need to change to make the testimonial side box into a scrolling one.

Would anybody like to have a go?

Kindest Regards,

Brett Rogers

The testimonial manager sidebox is not included in the JScroller sidebox package.

revising/changing the testimonial manager sidebox so that it will scroll would require re-writing the code for the sidebox and is not currently on my list of things to be done for the testimonial manager add-on.

(maybe in a future release)

i've just recently installed the testimonials manager onto my site, but in my zencart admin/tools i can't find the testimonials manager so i can edit what's there now... any ideas on what i've done wrong?

(i'm fairly new at zencart, and installing modules.. i had someone build my site for me but need to do some tweaks on my own)
