Did you follow the install instructions? You must go to the addons section in the admin area to install the addon first. The setup the tpl files for your template.

[dansgalaxy]

Ta, After looking i realised I hadn't copied the tpl's into my custom theme silly me...

 

I shall def have to customise that page up and make it all pretty =]

This was covered previously in this thread. There is an addon to this module you can download from my site.

I really like the add-on... only a few remarks

 

- After submitting a testiomonial, there is no feedback that the entry was submitted (yet it was, looking in the admin area). This was on the Chrome browser btw

- Is it possible to cloak the full name, town, province and country of the submitter? I can think of MANY people who would not submit a review wiith so much personal information given.... "John C from D, USA" would definitely be better, or better still, give the submitter an option to hide their full name/address

- It would be awesome if on the main admin page, a little reminder was posted that a new review was submitted. I can just imagine how in the heat of the moment, we'd forget to check the addon module.

 

Those three points would make a nice feature perfect, thanks

You can change the template file to only display the details you want or how it is displayed.

 

As for the admin page, you could edit the admin template and add some php code to select testimonials that aren't approved.

 

I'll look into adding a confirmation that the testimonial was posted.

Thanks I figured the first one out already, and I'll see if I can edit the admin template today. It's a very nice template indeed

Would you mind sharing what changes you made so other users can benefit? I can also implement them in the next release.

Not to be picky,

 

But you problerly want to make a install readme so that half the questions are covered and simple things cleared up.

 

Great mod though!

Feel free to modify the one that is included. It might be simple but it gets the point across and tells you where to put things.

Downloaded from the 'Downloads section' - If I run the 'Side Block' locally where WHMCS is located it shows fine.

 

Tried running it on another server since it uses direct linking I would assumed it worked remotely, It did not.

 

Added main 'Block Code' to WHMCS. (JavaScript)

 

Created a file called testimonials_remote.php

<?php

$testimonials = "http://whmcs-url.com/testimonials_json.php";

echo file_get_contents($testimonials);

?>

 

Load testimonials_remote.php to your site 'NOT' WHMCS site.

 

The JavaScript, Simply run it locally, place in your header as usual, don't forget to load the other JavaScript ( have that also remotely.

 

<script src="http://whmcs-url.com/javascript/quotator.js" type="text/javascript"></script>

json : "includes/testimonial_remote.php"

 

Then load the <div> tag for testimonials, In my case, I did id="testimonials" in my table.

What exactly was the issue? If I need to update the current release, I will.

Hi

If we use this "remotely" is there any way to add a key so now one else can end up calling it?

I don't know exactly what you mean. Can you elaborate please.

[thehost5968]

say I have this working on my site and joe noes the coding used and then links to my site to show my Testimonials on his site.

 

a key with in the code within my whmcs and a key within the coded within my page that is outside of my whmcs and the 2 have to match to show any Testimonialson my page outside of my/ any whmcs.

[tsiedsma]

are you talking about the whole testimonials package, or just the random rotator? The problem with the random rotator, is that since it is jquery, anyone would be able to grab the key and pull your testimonials. You could setup some referrer checking stuff in the testimonials_json.php file...

[thehost5968]

Just the random rotator as if I get it right this can be run from outside of WHMCS.

But there again you would need to be quite thick to try it now wish I had not posted this. opp sorry

[thehost5968]

Would we be able to add a way of doing a review of active items that a client has so then the review then shows under each item?

Don't worry about it!

Not without a full re-write or new module created altogether.

[GORF]

If you want to hide the form after submition or if a client has already submitted a review, wrap the form in testimonial_new.tpl in these IF statements.

 

Then it will only display "Thank you....." or "You have already submitted ....".
