I am still learning php, and will try and help you if you have any problems with this hack.
I have added screen shots of this hack in action below.
If a website has a testimonials system, then it's most likely a professional website. And as such, it would want a more professional and neat-looking design for the system that what you have. Please consider revising the visual part of the hack (the idea of which, I have to say, is great) in the next release or something. =)
Do you have any ideas how it should look? I am not very creative lol, it would be great if you could provide a photoshopped sample or something.
If they still go to vbtestimonials.php, vB will still show them as viewing that page. Do you have any links to it anywhere on your site? I have noticed this same problem on a site I help run also we had no links anywhere and somehow people still went to it. Not sure to be honest how they found it either.
I have no links open for the members to see - I think there is a bug in the WOL part of testimonials as I think it shows users viewing this if they are just sitting doing nothing on my site.
Yes, they are viewing it but getting a no permission error because you didn't give them permission. It's not a bug, they just somehow found the url. I have tested this on many sites and the only time it shows as viewing testimonials is when they are at vbtestimonials.php.
I have disable them both and it has stopped the problem. It now shows them in the right locations.
There is no way for them to have know about the testimonial page as I had not made it available for my members yet and as soon as I disable the WOL function's how come their proper locations show up - I am not being difficult I am just trying to make you aware that there may be an issue.
I want to have guests post to my testimonials. I currently need to convert over 500 entries from an old guestbook/testimonial file as well.
What I need to know BEFORE attempting to install is how solid is the anti-spammer control? There absolutely needs to be an image verification, but I'm not seeing that in the screen shots.
Also, on editing the comments as the admin, I need the ability to add occassional editorial comments.

Sorry it currently does not have those features. I will see about adding them in a later release.
