Testimonial Manager Support Thread

Due to the several "glitch" reports involving the "New Installation" section of Testimonial Manager, I'm in the process of tracking down and correcting them.

I'll re-work the the entire section and post an updated version in the next couple of days.

In the meantime the fixes listed in the last few post should correct most, if not all, of the problems.

I appoligize for any inconvenience this may have caused.

Not sure it it is TM.

open admin/includes/functions/html_output.php

at around line 235 you should see:

if ($required == false) $field .= TEXT_FIELD_OPTIONAL;

Just delete this line and see if that clears that text string.

Oh yeah, it's gone now. Thanks a lot buddy!

If you haven't disabled them in admin, yes you will see them

The reason they don't change is because of new "direct link" capability of the mod.
I'll work on fixing this for the next update.

go to admin -> configuration -> links manager

Enable Click Count - set to false

Display Link Click Count - set to 0

Ok

I set it up to false and 0 now i dont see it on my page
I wait for you fix

Thank you

Try running this

Hi Clyde, I love your contribution, its amazing. Small problem, when I click on view all testimonials in IE7, the "back" button and "add my testimonial" buttons are not visible. But they are in FF. Can you tell me how to fix this.

Also, how can I make the spacking between the testimonial titile and the actual testimonial smaller?

Thanks!

for part 1 try this:

open tpl_testimonials_manager_all_testimonials_default.php

scroll down to the bottom of the file
add another <br class="clearBoth" /> right after the one that is already there.

for number 2 try:

open testimonials_manager_all_testimonials.css

add the declaration p {padding: 0; margin: 0;}

clydejones:

ALTER TABLE testimonials_manager ADD last_update datetime NOT NULL default '0000-00-00 00:00:00' AFTER testimonials_html_text ;

Thanks you !

Thanks Clyde, works great!

I tried to install this, version 1.4.3.1

when I go to admin>tools>testimonial manager, i get the following message:

1146 Table 'xxxxxxxx.testimonials_manager' doesn't exist
in:
[select count(*) as total from testimonials_manager]
If you were entering information, press the BACK button in your browser and re-check the information you had entered to be sure you left no blank fields.

(xxxxxxx being the name of my database, I have removed from the error message)

Is there something I am missing or did wrong?

Is this a fresh install or an upgrade?

if a fresh install, did you run the install_testimonials_manager.sql

Fresh install, and yes, I ran it in the Admin>Install SQL Patches.

I just ran the SQL, 2 more times...

And the last time worked.....

Not sure why it didn't the first 2 attempts...but I'm good to go now..I hope!

By default the mod is not designed to include the display of testimonial(s) on the homepage. Thats the purpose of the sidebox.

You would have to do some custom coding to accomplish what you wish to achieve.
