Testimonial Manager Support Thread

ultimate_zc:

Clyde, first of all, thanks for all your contributions. I wanted to verify whether this was the proper way to add the code to the metatags.php.

When adding:

define('META_TAG_TITLE', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . zen_trunc_string($page_check->fields['testimonials_html_text'],TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH));
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);

> 
> I get the following on my metatags:
> ```html
<title>META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGERGreat</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGERGreat" />
<meta name="description" content="META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGERThis is just a test submission to show you how it looks, great, eh?" />

When deleting "META_TAG_TITLE_PAGE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER"

as in ```php
define('META_TAG_TITLE', $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);
define('META_TAG_DESCRIPTION', zen_trunc_string($page_check->fields['testimonials_html_text'],TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_DESCRIPTION_LENGTH));
define('META_TAG_KEYWORDS', $page_check->fields['testimonials_title']);

> 
> my meta tags show as they should...
> ```html
<title>Great</title>
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1" />
<meta name="keywords" content="Great" />
<meta name="description" content="This is just a test submission to show you how it looks, great, eh?" />

Will doing so will create any problems with other pages? I ask because I assume the original code worked for you and you added it for a reason...

Thanks

Shouldn't have any effect on other pages.

Hello,

Firstly thanks Clyde (again!) for a superb add on :smile:

Two questions:
(I have searched this thread but to no avail.)

1: Would it be possible to display the Testimonials sidebox only on the Home page?

2: Can I add the 'index.php?main_page=display_all_testimonials' page to the site map?

Thanks.

To answer question #1 visit this page on the zencart tutorial.

To answer #2 visit this page "How to edit SiteMap links in ZenCart".

Hope that helps...

Try this:

if ($this_is_home_page) {

$page_query = $db->Execute("select testimonials_id, testimonials_image, testimonials_title, testimonials_html_text, date_added  from " . TABLE_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER . " where status = 1  and language_id = " . (int)$_SESSION['languages_id'] . " order by rand(), testimonials_title limit " . MAX_DISPLAY_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER_TITLES ."");
	if ($page_query->RecordCount()>0) {
      $title =  BOX_HEADING_TESTIMONIALS_MANAGER;
      $box_id =  testimonials_manager;
      $rows = 0;
      while (!$page_query->EOF) {
        $rows++;
        $page_query_list[$rows]['id'] = $page_query->fields['testimonials_id'];
        $page_query_list[$rows]['name']  = $page_query->fields['testimonials_title'];
        $page_query_list[$rows]['story']  = $page_query->fields['testimonials_html_text'];
        $page_query_list[$rows]['image'] = $page_query->fields['testimonials_image'];

        $page_query->MoveNext();
      }
      $left_corner = false;
      $right_corner = false;
      $right_arrow = false;
      $title_link = false;
      require($template->get_template_dir('tpl_testimonials_manager.php',DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'sideboxes'). '/tpl_testimonials_manager.php');
      require($template->get_template_dir($column_box_default, DIR_WS_TEMPLATE, $current_page_base,'common') . '/' . $column_box_default);
    }
}

Yea that worked perfectly, Thanks Clyde :smile:

I had the testimonials running on my site. I changed templates, and now it's not running correctly anymore. The testimonials are there....

but when I go to turn on the sidebox, I can see it there....

sideboxes/a_pink_boutique/testimonials_manager.php

I clidk on edit, add to the left column, click update, and it takes me back to my main admin page, out of the layout boxes completely.

I reinstalled all the files, from the newest version, ran the upgrade, and again, I can see all the testimonials are there, but I still can't add them to my sidebox.

well, this looks to be something related to something else, because I am having the same problem when I'm adding a link to my ez pages...it just pops straight back to the admin screen

Version of Zen Cart?

Have you installed the Security updates?

Hi Clyde!

Yes, sorry I didn't get back to this thread to update!

I did the security patch, earlier in the day, and things worked fine for about 3 hours, then all of a sudden this started happening.

Searching more, I found that it was the security patch causing it, and have since reuploaded the htmp_output file back...and it's all working correctly now!

Hi to all, I have zen car 1.3.8 and when I install testimonial manager 1.5.0's sql patch via admin panel I have this error

33 statements processed.
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "UPLOAD_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "TEXT_PREFIX" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
Error ERROR: Cannot insert configuration_key "IH_VERSION" because it already exists
Warning Note: 4 statements ignored. See "upgrade_exceptions" table for additional details.

What I have to do? to fix this?
Anyway it seems that testimonial manager work correctly but I don't want that this error make some error in the shop...

Not to worry, the error simply means that the information was already in the database.

It will have no effect on the shop.

really thanks

Hello,

Installed this mod and everything seems to work fine! Awesome module!
Just wondering, is it possible to get the testimonial sidebox to look like our "Information Burst" sidebox (www.playnippon.com)? We would like to show 10 testimonial but would like to have a scroll bar and a background color.

Thanks

I'm not sure how you set up that sidebox but you should be able to set up the testimonial sidebox the same way.

Hello, thank you for this mod, is really working great on both my new websites, but I have a problem trying to install the captcha.

I can't access the fix for the captcha that is referenced in this post http://www.zen-cart.com/forum/showpost.php?p=669562&postcount=807

Would it be possible to post it on the forum so everyone could benefit from it?

Thanks!
