Testimonial Manager Support Thread (for ZC v1.5.x)

davewest:

My bad... what happens when you're cracking one and rushing through another.. More to the point, this is not a problem with code, but a new version of MySQL and strict mode specifically NO_ZERO_DATE thingy... which I didn't read up on until now.. which I now have some others to fix... well update it with a sniffer for upgrades... thanks.

Note that there is/was still some debate about what the proper "default" date/datetime should be. See https://github.com/zencart/zencart/issues/2397

I was wondering about using NULL, for the date field right below it is set that way.. both really don't need a default for they're filled at the time data is feed to the table. The default is now not pulled into the code, so not used. With the blank form feeding the current date/time the date picker seems very happy. It was the only line using the default in the past which made the date picker time travel into the past..

Thanks for the link...

Go through your server files and correctly set permissions... folders should be 755 and files 644..

Hello,

I just installed the mod on my site at https://www.royal-fleur.com

I am currently using ZC 1.5.6 and the install went smoothly.

However, I am not able/cannot display the testimonial sideboxe. It is turned on in the admin and should set to left column but nothing.

What am I missing?

Thank you for the help

You need to have at least one testimonial active before the sidebox will show. You currently have 0.

My bad. I had testimonials but they were all hidden to public. It is all fine now. Thank you, your response pointed me in the right direction

I have just installed Testimonials Manager for Zen Cart 1.5.6c and now my Configuration Admin Menu has two options saying 'Testimonials Manager' - one that doesn't have anything in it so I assume this was left over from the old install of Testimonials Manager that was running on Zen Cart 1.5.5f. How do I remove it?

Looks like I missed older install admin pages names.. fix and uploaded to Git, well work on an update later this month.. The only thing left over was the admin page so to remove you can download the updated admin functions page or use phpmyadmin or run this line in your admin sql tool.. if you are using a prefix on tables you would need to add it to the table name (zen_admin_pages)..

DELETE FROM admin_pages WHERE page_key = 'configTestimonialsManager';

I was more interested in keeping past testimonials while upgrading and forgot the change in admin pages.

Anybody know why I can't select five stars on this page?

And also why the stars are boxes?

Your fontawesome 5 is not loaded correctly and this mod was not upgraded to 5 yet.. If you load FontAwesome 5 kit with version 4 enabled the stars would show.
I use the kit and local/backup install as

<script src="https://kit.fontawesome.com/YOUR_KIT_ID.js" crossorigin="anonymous"></script>
 
 
 <script type="text/javascript">
     (function($){
         var $span = $('<span class="fas" style="display:none"></span>').appendTo('body');
         if ($span.css('font-family') !== 'Font Awesome 5 Free' ) {
             // Fallback Link   
              $('head').append(<?php echo '\'<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $template->get_template_dir('.css',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'css') . '/' . 'font-awesome.css' . '" />\''; ?>);
              $('head').append(<?php echo '\'<link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="' . $template->get_template_dir('.css',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'css') . '/' . 'all.css' . '" />\''; ?>);    
                
         }
         $span.remove();
     })(jQuery);
 </script> 

I was working on a how-to but not posted yet..

I have tried to install this on a 1.5.7 site, but even though there is one testimonial written up and active, the sidebox is not showing up. Wondering if a 1.5.7 version needs to come out before it can be used?

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance!

There are allot of minor updates to meet ZC1.5.7 admin and php7.4 which I'm working on. Once tested and packaged, I'll upload it.

Thanks Dave!!

Just pushed an update to git for ZC157 ONLY I'm thinking about doing a new installer for ZC156 yet before uploading here...

Some new things going on in admin, some bug fixes, new switch to turn off the submit form.. This only works for ZC157!

Just sent in an update. I made a change in the star rating to make it simple to use. I tried switching over to emoji's but found that FTP transfer was changing the font. Changed to image png emoji's instead..

I updated my site if you want to see the emoji rating.

Hi davewest,

The coloured symbols under 'Status' don't work when you try to approve a testimonial. It goes to a blank page or 500 error.

If you see the user-circle-o then you have FontAwesome 4 running,
and the cmd in the address is a ZC1.5.7x thing..
I would need more info to guess at what's not working...

Tested with a clean install of ZC1.5.7b and a heavy modified one with FontAwesome4 and PHP7.4. Not designed for anything less then ZC1.5.7x without modifying files.

Nice update Dave!

Getting the classic 'headers already sent' error when operating the **uninstall **button:

--> PHP Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /###/shop/zc_plugins/TestimonialManager/v2.5.0/Installer/ScriptedInstaller.php:168) in /###/shop/YOUR_ADMIN/includes/functions/general.php on line 19.

**No cause/fix found yet.

**Also, ScriptedInstaller.php updates needed:

Example Testimonial Image...
replace this:
avatars/cbgdave.png

with this:
avatars/cbg_dave.png

Uninstall...
replace this:
$sql = "DROP TABLE ' . $table_name . '";

with this:
$sql = "DROP TABLE $table_name ";

Zen Cart 1.57c running PHP 7.3.33

Upgrade testing found an error when upgrading using the plugin manager...

ScriptedInstaller.php updates needed:

replace this:
('Testimonial Manager Version','TM_VERSION',$version,'Testimonial Manager version', $tm_config_id, 21, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, NULL, NULL)";

with this:
('Testimonial Manager Version','TM_VERSION','.$version.','Testimonial Manager version', $tm_config_id, 21, NOW(), NOW(), NULL, NULL, NULL)";

The error only seemed to be relevant during manual upgrade (Un-Install then Install new version) automatic upgrade with the plugin manager button has been unsuccessful and also causes the headers already sent error - which also blanks the right configuration sidebox completely.

I assume the plugin manager Clean Up button is not working as a result of the processActionDoCleanup in the PluginManagerController.php being empty (stock 1.57c) which is a Zen Cart problem not a Testimonials Manager problem - the function is empty.

Testing continues!
