My greetings to the great Clyde, who has given so much to zencart, and their community. A warm hug to the family.

You can search this thread and probably find the answer. Type in testimonial don't send email to see what comes up.

I don't found nothing of useful to solve issue. with smtp-auth the issue still remain.

Think about it how important is a email to the customer after they have left a testimonial. It's up to you to approve it or not. As long as you are getting one from admin letting you know you have a new testimonial that is all you really need. That function was not part of this module originally. Clyde built that part into the module afterwards. Some have had problems with that feature. It sends me a testimonial email letting me know someone has left one from admin that's all I'm concern with. I doubt the customer would really care if they got one back letting them know that it is now approved. This is not what you want to hear but that is the best I can explain it. If you are on a godaddy server like me that might be the problem.

I'm not on godaddy, I'm on hostgator.com
I would only to send an email to customer when he left testimonial, so I can give to him a discount coupon to redeem on next order.

Well that can be easily done. When they leave a testimonial, you will be notified from your admin letting you know a customer has left a testimonial. If you want to send a coupon to them click on Gift Certificate/Coupons and send them one.

Does anyone know how I can configure TM 1.5-2 to display testimonials in a particular order vs. its current random display method in the side-box?

I would greatly appreciate any suggestions.

Thanks all!

I have Testimonials Manager running on zen cart version 1.5.0 with no problems. I have updated this module to be compatiable with 1.5.0 and will upload it when time permits. Work comes before free modules.

Thanks CountryCharm! I wish I read this before I installed the mod on 1.5. I just uploaded the current version of Testimonials. The sidebox and such shows up on the test site, but I don't see any links in the control panel. I eagerly await for the update!

I sent you a PM

Just wanted to let everyone know that Testimonial Manager is now compatible with zen cart version 1.5.0. Testimonial Manager will still run on zen cart versions v1.3.8, v1.3.9. May also work with earlier versions. Testimonial Manager does not overwrite any core files.

========================================================

UPGRADING INSTALLATION FOR V1.5.0:

1. Testimonials Manager runs great, but if you have a TEST SERVER try it out before going live.

2. The files in admin/includes/boxes/extra_boxes/ is obsolete and should be deleted or rename to something else until you are confident all is well.

3. A define was added to admin/includes/extra_datafiles/testimonials_manager.php and to
   amin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/testimonials_manager.php to make this work on zen cart 1.5.0.

4. Go into phpmyadmin and BACKUP THE DATABASE BEFORE INSTALLING.

5) Ensure you have carried out step 4)!

6. This is for v1.5.0 only. There has been a define added so you will have to re-upload the files
   admin/includes/extra_definitions/testimonials_manager.php
   admin/includes/languages/english/extra_definitions/testimonials_manager.php

Upgrading from 1.3x to zen cart v1.5.0
7) Run the included install_testimonials_manager 1.3.x_Upgrade.sql using the Zen-Cart Sql Patches tool
(admin -> tools -> install sql patches) If you are upgrading.

NEW INSTALLS

1. Upload all files in the zen_1.5.0 folder.

2. Run the included install_testimonials_manager new_install.sql using the Zen-Cart Sql Patches tool
   (admin -> tools -> install sql patches) for New Installs

Enjoy.....

Hi CountryCharm,

Thank you for taking over this project. I am in the middle of adding a bunch of old testimonials from 2003-2011 and I don't have dates for them. I don't want them to all have today's date (the default if you leave "date" blank)... I was wondering if you could walk me through hacking things to have functionality like one of these ideas:

idea 1) When adding testimonials through the Admin interface, don't insert today's date if "date" is left blank, just have it leave that field empty so that nothing shows up.

idea 2) having some php that says basically, if date = "specific date" (which I'd set to something like january 1, 2000, 01:00:00--really generic and not likely to ever get used by chance) then echo "(sometime between 2003-2011)"

idea 3) combined with idea 1, if there is no date info in the date field, then have it display "(sometime between 2003-2011)"

Would any of these be possible? What file(s) would I edit? Because it's going to look a little ridiculous to have all of the old testimonials set to today's date. I tried clearing out that field in the database through PHPmyAdmin, but it wouldn't let me, it refilled it with a date. :(

Thanks in advance if you can help me with the above, or if you have any other ideas on how to hide the date for these old testimonials that I'm adding.

The MOD uses the current date when adding testimonials. If you want to use older dates you'd have to use phpmyadmin and work directly with the database table for the testimonials and edit the date field.

Countrycharm thank you for the updated version.

No, you don't understand. I don't HAVE dates for these testimonials. I don't have an "older date" to use. I want to be able to have the date be empty and not show up for testimonials that have no date.

I know what you are talking about, and It is probably possible but I don't have time to look into it yet. When time permits I will.

and WebKat in the meantime, you will have to edit the DB and include a date in order to use this add-on..

OR

if it's a showstopper item and you need it IMMEDIATELY, you can consider investing in paying a developer to make this change for you..

For now I just added some text saying "such and such a date really means '2003-20011'" that shows up underneath the date. It's a good enough solution for a little while, though I don't want to leave it like that indefinitely.

Thanks for your help.
