Testimonial Manager Support Thread

ok problem is that the cart is an active shop and would lose sales if i left it with no right boxes!! what about if i switched TM on then done a view source then do a copt paste of the code for the page?? could post it on here??

cheers

Love your add-on. Works great.:clap:

Just curious though, is there a way to disable customers add testimonials?

I have looked through all files and cannot seem to locate the code to remove the "Add My Testimonial" link.

This is the standard code for Zen Cart sideboxes:

$content = '';
  $content .= '<div id="' . str_replace('_', '-', $box_id . 'Content') . '" class="sideBoxContent">';
  $content .= "\n" . '<ul style="margin: 0; padding: 0; list-style-type: none;">' . "\n";
  for ($i=0; $i<sizeof($information); $i++) {
    $content .= '<li>' . $information[$i] . '</li>' . "\n";
  }
  $content .= '</ul>' .  "\n";
  $content .= '</div>';

I looked at a view source of your site and you or someone has obviously edited this standard zen cart code to suite your own needs.

You can modify the TM sidebox to fit with the code for your sideboxes and see if that would solve the problem.

Hi there,

Im no CSS guru, could you suggest where the code needs changing please??
I have attached the source from IE7 "View Source" dump.

Called nubartm.doc

Thanks

That doesn't help at all. I'd need to see the actual code changes to your sideboxes (i.e includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/sideboxes/tpl_information.php)

Hi There,

I dont want to appear stupid, but there is no Tpl_information.php at this location, would it be under a default template location then?

Much appreciating your help.

Hi there, found it, attached as requested.

Thanks!!

That's the standard default file.

Who ever designed your template evidently decided to re-write the way the sidebox files were set-up.

I'm just guessing but after another look at the view source on your site, I'd have to conclude that you are using a TM template.

TM templates are notorious for not complying with Zen Cart standards which generally causes problems when trying to install any of the freely available add-ons.

You can always look in - includes/templates/template15387/sideboxes/ and check the files there.

Without actually seeing the associated template files, I'm afraid I can't really help you solve this problem.

Maybe I'm not making myself clear or not using the right protocol, if so my appologies.

I like your module and would like to use it in my clients online store to add testimonials.
I like the fact that it displays a preview in the sidebox.

What i would like not to have is the customer adding their own testimonial.

The store is a part time venture and the owner is not computer savvy and does not want to login to approve testimonials.

Is there a way to disable the "add my testimonial" link/button?

Thanks.

admin -> configuration -> testimonial manager -> Only registered customers may submit a testimonial Set this to true.

Doing this will allow only customers who are logged in to submit a testimonial.

If that is not exactly what you want to do, then:

You can edit the following 2 files

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_display_all_testimonials_default.php

includes/templates/YOUR_TEMPLATE/templates/tpl_testimonials_manager_default.php

Find and delete the following section of code:

<div class="buttonRow forward"><a href="<?php echo zen_href_link(FILENAME_TESTIMONIALS_ADD, '', 'SSL'); ?>"><?php echo zen_image_button(BUTTON_IMAGE_TESTIMONIALS, BUTTON_TESTIMONIALS_ADD_ALT); ?></a></div>

That works! Thank you so much!

Thanks for the nice addon! I am creating a Feedback addon based on your code...I noticed in your v1.5.2 uninstall sql, you have the below insert lines adding congif keys unrelated to your addon???

INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES (NULL, 'Product option type Select', 'PRODUCTS_OPTIONS_TYPE_SELECT', '0', 'The number representing the Select type of product option.', 0, NULL, NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES (NULL, 'Upload prefix', 'UPLOAD_PREFIX', 'upload_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between upload options and other options', 0, NULL, NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES (NULL, 'Text prefix', 'TEXT_PREFIX', 'txt_', 'Prefix used to differentiate between text option values and other option values', 0, NULL, NULL, now(), NULL, NULL);
INSERT INTO `configuration` VALUES (NULL, 'Image Handler Version', 'IH_VERSION', '2.0', 'This is used by image handler to check if the database is up to date with uploaded image handler files.', 0, 100, NULL, now(), NULL, 'zen_cfg_textarea_small(');

Should this be there? Or can it be deleted?

Thanks :flex:

Hello,

I have a problem with the side box.
Its activated in the admin but it doesnt show on the website.
I reinstalled TD without success.

Does someone knows in what direction I might take a look?

Thanks!

Hi Clyde or another genius,

I'm installing TM 1.5.2 at zc139h, but have problems with the side-boxes in other languages than English.

I copied (from new_installation) all includes/english languages files to dutch and german (after changing all YOUR_TEMPLATE directories to classic). I believe I triple checked everything but the side-boxes wont show up in Dutch and German. In English everything works perfect. In the admin it works perfect in all 3 languages. Do you have any idea?

Sorry for for bothering you with the above question, the problem is solved. I used (customized) 138a language files for NL en DE.
By replacing them with new ones for 139 the problem is over.

Hi there,

I have installed the testimonials just fine, however, if I enable the box to my left, parts of my site go missing my site right up to new products. If I enable it to the right, I lose all my right sideboxes :/

How can I fix this
