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

twitchtoo:

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.

Plugin Manager's upgrade functionality is not implemented in ZC 1.5.7x (there is the button but it does nothing). I think the same applies for the Clean Up feature (I don't remember if it works)

Indeed there are a collection of things missing from the Plugin Manager however that hasn't stopped me from updating this module to Testimonial Manager 2.5.1 with all the corrections needed to prevent any errors with the current stock Plugin Manager!
I'll package it up later this week and submit :clap:

Fixed:

• Install - Stock Zen Cart Plugin Manager errors
• Uninstall - Missing defines errors causing page load and sidebox load errors
• Failed star rating display
• CSS updates - mobile friendly
• FontAwesome - unsupported version errors
• Missing heading title error
• Corrected various spacing issues and spelling errors

Now built into Twitch Base7 [Sapphire] - a demo link is available for anyone wanting to see it in action - just email me directly and I'll send the link!

Just Submitted:

Testimonial Manager
** Version 2.5.1** for Zen Cart 1.57c
Mar 28.2022 - Twitchtoo Media

Updates from my previous post have been included to ensure no errors when installed or uninstalled using the Zen Cart Plugin Manager.

Thanks for updating this. I just wonder if perhaps the add testimonial only works if another captcha isn't present? I can see it has non-captcha observer file, on the add testimonial page it doesn't show the boxes to add entries. I have Google Captch so perhaps this is the reason, but just wondered. Thanks :-)

Yes I noticed this module was hit and miss with that block of code. I left it in as it was useful in previous versions, however in the next release I'll be sure to rework it from the ground up.

Update for anyone that has not installed or perhaps uninstalled the new plugin based Testimonial Manager 2.5.1...

YOUR_ADMIN/ includes/modules/dashboard_widgets/TestimonialsDashboardWidget.php

old:
$tm_plugin = $db->Execute("SELECT status FROM " . TABLE_PLUGIN_CONTROL . " WHERE unique_key = 'TestimonialManager'");
$tmStatus = ($tm_plugin->fields['status'] == '2') ? 'off' : 'on';

//if ($tmstatus == 'on') {

$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . " ORDER BY date_added DESC";
$testimonials = $db->Execute($sql, (int)$maxRows, true, 1800);

$totalTM = $db->Execute("select count(*) as count from " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . "");

?>

new:
$tm_plugin = $db->Execute("SELECT status FROM " . TABLE_PLUGIN_CONTROL . " WHERE unique_key = 'TestimonialManager'");
$tmStatus = ($tm_plugin->fields['status'] == '1') ? 'on' : 'off';

if ($tmStatus == 'on') {
$sql = "SELECT * FROM " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . " ORDER BY date_added DESC";
$testimonials = $db->Execute($sql, (int)$maxRows, true, 1800);

$totalTM = $db->Execute("select count(*) as count from " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . "");

?>

then at the bottom of this file...
**

change this:
**</script>

to this:
</script>

If you're using the manager this error will not present itself.

Hi everyone. I'm hoping someone can help with an issue I'm having.
I've installed installed Testimonial Manager v1.5.4. Fresh install to Zencart 1.5.7d, PHP 7.4.29 (Zend: 3.4.0)

Everything is working except the links that access to testimonials_add

The following error appears in my logs. Unfortunately I don't have the skills to resolve.

All help appreciated.
Thanks Greg

I have run into a couple of issues after installing this on 1.5.7d

First one is that the All Testimonials Page does not display any testimonials.

https://theengravingshop.co.uk/index.php?main_page=display_all_testimonials

Second One:

In the admin Configuration > Testimonials Manager - the page loads but doesn't have anything in it. It is completely blank.

I don't have any error logs either so I have no idea what is causing these issues.

This information should help.

Actually it appears to be old testimonials that aren't showing up on front end. New ones appears to be going on there ok.

I have managed to get a debug file.

The installer script doesn't appear to be installing testimonials manager into configuration. It appears to run ok for the other menu items.

Can somebody give me that piece of SQL so I can get Configuration > Testimonials Manager loaded properly please?

Yes I know, I worked that one out. I don't think the installer is inserting all the tables in the database.

Will Testimonials Manager work on 1.5.8?

Will Testimonials Manager work on 1.5.8?

It will work, but will produce a ton of php warnings. All easy to fix with isset or empty checks.

Yes, Testimonials Manager v3.0 with only

Testimonials Manager for Zen Cart 1.5.8x ONLY
Tested with php 8.1 ==\== ONLY ==//===
YES, there is new code with new admin stuff...

It's about to put a new with plugins, but I was creating a new idea with testimonials/reviews... even some new stuff for Return manager with new code...

@ davewest

Welcome back! I was beginning to worry about you.

Off subject, but do you have any additions to the DPU i managed to get from your github some time ago? https://github.com/dbltoe/Zen-Cart-Dynamic-Price-Updater/tree/158

Any hope on having this plugin to work with ZC 2.0?

Thank you
