Customer are unable to add a testimonial from my site. On clicking the submit button the page just refreshes. I can however add testimonials from the admin end. Wonder what the problem is.

I'm having the same problem (as mentioned previously in this thread). I believe this to be related to IIS.

Can you confirm what web server you're running?

At the moment I'm still looking for a solution.

Alex, mersonmathew,

Try this fix and see if it helps.

Open the zip file, change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match your custom template name, upload the entire includes folder to your server.

CLyde, Alex Thank you so much for your replies.
My server is Apache.
I've tried the fix but it doesn't solve the problem. Still on submit the page just refreshes with the defaults filled in.
I was thinking if its to do with the HTTP_POST_VARS in /includes/modules/pages/testimonials_add/header_php.php but in the fix it appears to have changed to _GET but still no success. I'm running php5. Should we be using _POST?

Hi Clyde,
I've tried IISFIX2 but it hasn't solved the problem. My site url is http://discountperfumesuk.com Thanks for all your help!

I tried to create a test account on the site but was unable to do so because of the country restriction.

Hi Clyde,
I've changed the settings to allow posts without registering. You may try now.

Not sure why it would be doing this.

I have the same fix2 installed on my test site running php5 on an apache server and its working fine.

Never mind. I'll try and work on it and let you know if I succeed. Thanks!

Hey Clyde!

I'm having a bit of an awkward issue when i drop the files in their respective folders within the admin area of the site. Once i upload the files, my admin page will be completely blank. And by blank, i mean BLANK. Nada. Zip. White screen of death.

My admin directory does not have the name "admin" for security purposes. Could this be the cause?

What are your thoughts?

Thanks!!

Oh man! How goofy.

I fixed my problem. -- just needed to CHMOD the files to have some freedom.

My question is rather simple - I think...

If I choose to permit non-registered users to submit testimonials (because I sell on eBay as well), will this permit spiders and other unsavory varmint to submit spam as a testimonial?

Thanks for reading!

All testimonial submissions have to be approved (via the admin panel) before they are posted on your site. So, even if you receive such a submission you can always delete it.

Ahh...thank you...I should have realized that.

Sorry to use your time so needlessly, I will try to slow down and actually THINK about what I'm doing! Although it's hard when I get so excited as I am about my new Zen Cart.

Thank you for responding!

Not at all, glad to help

I have installed the testimonial manger successfully, however I have hit a slight problem.

Although the testimonial sidebox shows etc. the only links that work are "View all testimonials" and "Add a testimonial".
If I click on either "Read more" or the title of the testimonial "Great" I get a 404 page not found error.

Any tips on how to resolve this?

Many thanks.
