this hack worked flawlessly on mysite...
i love it the way it is, still may i add, it would be a great idea if the testimony had a thumbnail of the writer's avatar under the Username! that would kick butt!
I installed it and expect it to be used by my members
Thank you..

Thanks for your compliments and suggestion. I will see if I can add the avatar under their name.

Any way to show products from a certain category?

[derekivey]

Not currently. I will probably add it in a later version though.

Avatars would be terrific, thanks for the consideration derekivey!

It would be really useful if this was possible...

It should work, but I haven't tested it fully. There weren't many changes in 3.6 that could have affected this. Once I get some time I will test it and release it in the 3.6 forum, but your welcome to go ahead and try it.

I had vBTestimonials installed on a Beta 3 (never got to beta 4 as well some probs with the forum) and it worked fine.

This is a great hack, certainly covers my needs. I am looking foward to the custom fields addition that you plan to add in a future version.

I would however like to place one or two random testimonial posts on a seperate php page so they can be displayed on one of my website pages and I could then add a link under these random testimonials, forwarding the user to the vbtestimonials.php page. Would it be possible to add this feature to your todo list or does anyone have any idea how this could be done?

Thanks
