HeathenMagic:

Hello Clyde,

Just tried it, it works a treat. You are excellent as always. I found your donate button, wil send you something very soon.

Regards,

Heathenmagic :smile:

glad you got it working.

Hi Clyde,

I'm running ZC 1.3.7 and so installed TM 1.4.4, as it was listed for ZC1.3.7.

I've one issue that may well be resolved in TM1.4.6 but I'm not sure if it will run on ZC1.3.7.

Here's the thing:

I'd like only admin ability to 'add' a testimonial. OR if there's a way for testimonials to be added by users but not displayed without admin approval that will work.

so, is this do-able in TM 1.4.4, and if not is it in the latest/latest? If that's the case can I run the latest/latest on ZC 1.3.7?

Thanks in advance for your reply and in abundance for a fantastic mod.

All testimonials have to be approved in admin -> tools -> testimonial manager before they can be displayed. This is the case whether you use 1.44 or 1.46.

1.4.6 will work with ZC 1.3.7

awesome...and great mod. thanks again!

Again make sure ALL the necessary files have been uploaded to your server.

I am currently using Testimonal Manager on ZenCart 1.3.7 and it works fine, and looks great.

One thing that is confusing me though, is HTML validation.

I use the validator at http://validator.w3.org/ which used to come out clean on my home page, but I am now getting 5 errors - one for each of the testimonials that are displayed:

Validation Output: 5 Errors1. >

2. <LI class=msg_err> *Line 168, Column 647*: ID "catBoxDivider" already defined.…/a></strong></span></p></div><hr id="**c**atBoxDivider" /><b><a href="http://www.

An "id" is a unique identifier. Each time this attribute is used in a document it must have a different value. If you are using this attribute as a hook for style sheets it may be more appropriate to use classes (which group elements) than id (which are used to identify exactly one element).

3. Line 69, Column 2535: ID "catBoxDivider" first defined here.…br style="line-height: 0;" /><hr id="**c**atBoxDivider" /><br style="line-height:

I would be grateful if anyone has any idea how to correct this.

This has been corrected in the latest version available in the downloads section.

Open includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_testimonials_manager.php

find (at around line 21) the following code:

$content .= '<hr id="catBoxDivider" />';

and change it to read

$content .= '<hr class="catBoxDivider" />';

save the file and upload to your server.

Thank you Clyde, that worked perfectly.

I currently have 1.4.5 of your mod installed, do you think it is worth me putting on the 1.4.6 version, or is it better leaving alone.

Thanks, Dave

1.4.6 added some "cosmetic formating" in displaying the testimonials and fixed a couple of minor bugs (including the issue you just corrected.)

So, its really up to you.

Hi Clyde, thanks for the input.

I have tried 1.4.6 on my test site, and all seems fine, so I will probably update my live site as well.

One thing I noticed when I was checking through my site is that on both versions, the "View All Testimonials" page fails the HTML validation.

Validation Output: 2 Errors
Line 205, Column 9: ID "productsListingTopNumber" already defined.

<div id="productsListingTopNumber" class="navSplitPagesResult back">Displaying < Line 102, Column 9: ID "productsListingTopNumber" first defined here. <div id="productsListingTopNumber" class="navSplitPagesResult back">Displaying <

Line 207, Column 9: ID "productsListingListingTopLinks" already defined.

<div id="productsListingListingTopLinks" class="navSplitPagesLinks forward"> &nb? Line 105, Column 9: ID "productsListingListingTopLinks" first defined here. <div id="productsListingListingTopLinks" class="navSplitPagesLinks forward"> &nb

It's not really a problem to me - I'm happy now my main page validates, but I thought it may be of interest to you.

This should fix the validation issue.

Just change the YOUR_TEMPLATE folder to match the name of your custom template and upload the entire includes folder to your server.

Yes Clyde, that works perfectly now :smile:

Thank you again.

when I install and it says YOUR_TEMPLATE should this go into classic or template_default?????

for some reason on IE, the testimonials text inside box doesn't show up unless I put my mouse over the text and click.... any suggestions

Before uploading change the YOUR_TEMPLATE directories to match the name of your custom directory.

URL for your site?

the testimonials text inside box - Are you referring to the sidebox?

I know this, but I am confused. I am using 1.3.8a standard... but there are 2 folders in the one u specify, classic or template_default and I am not sure which one...
