Try here!

Clyde,

Is it possible to provide support for "Restrict testimonial submissions to registered customers only" in future release? This is another option to restrict bogus testimonials without using capcha.

Thanks for the great mod.

The testimonial manager from Nicholas (zencartbuilder.com) supports this feature but he's no longer around. I do have a copy of it that we purchased in 2006 if that will help.

Already possible (since at least version 1.4.4), check admin -> configuration -> testimonial manager -> Only registered customers may submit a testimonial

Somehow, I am missing that configuration options. Is it safe to run this upgrade SQL again (or is going to wipe out all testimonials already in the database)?

no problem with running the upgrade sql.

It only updates the testimonial manager configuration table, it won't delete any of the information already in the database.

Hello Clyde,
I have just upgraded smoothly, cheers.
Only 2 things i don't get:

• on error, there is no $testimonials_title or $testimonials_html_text in the tpl_testimonials_add_default.php defined so if an error occurs those fields need to be retyped.
  Is there a specific reason to choose so? (i found adding those works out just fine?)

• in the testimonials_add.css there are entries to background url *.png but those do not exist. Did i miss something in the primary install or are those entries in error?

Thanks,
Jeroen

I just downloaded and installed Testimonials Manager today - works like a charm but i found an error in the "install_testimonials_manager.txt" instructional file.

Under the Metatags section, there appears to be a missing line that was generating an error for me. I found the missing line which was in an earlier post in the forum. The above mentioned file was missing this:

    $testimonial_title = 'Testimonial - ';

Please click here for the correct and complete metatag code.

1. Is there a particular reason not to do so? (ie, did i introduce drawbacks?)

2. ehrm, now i am really puzzled :)
   i am sure i never put it in there so it is probably a left over from an initial version, and i obviously didn't overwrite it with the current one. Anyway, forget, move on...:blush:

You should use the css I included since the formatting for the form has changed and the new css takes care of that.

clydejones:

1. no, no drawbacks, but you can replace that section with the following: I've added some code to re-display a truncated testimonial if it exceeds the maximum length you've set.

zen_trunc_string, another function introduced for me, learning every day :)
Thanks a lot, Clyde, rechecking my css's as we speak...

Anyway to get this mod to display on the center column, main page only>?

No, it is written to use separate pages.

Nice Work Clyde "As Usual" Thanks

I skipped the last 81 pages so go ahead and flame me if this is a rhetorical question.

Are You planing an add-on that would allow the user to upload an image, possibly use IH2 to resize the image and provide image hover effect, then use lightbox or hoverbox to zoom the image?

Just a thought.

ooops - Delete

Thanks Again

I would like to remove the requirement for a Testimonial Title to be entered by the customer. I can remove the relevant text and form part from the 'add my testimonial' page, but there is obviously more to be done/commented out to stop error messages appearing.

Any suggestions?

Cheers

Well you could add an option to the Testimonial Manager configuration table to display or not display the title.

Then add conditional statements to
includes/modules/pages/testimonial_add/header_php.php
and
includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_add_default.php

That's great, thanks for your help Clyde.
