Just go ahead and manually add it in vB's phrase manager, I selected the wrong product for it and it wasn't included because of that.

In ACP, when to Coachman this set "Moderate Testimonials", i have this error when to add a testimonial:

Fatal error: Unable to proceed with save while $errors array is not empty in class vb_datamanager_pm in /includes/class_dm.php on line 758

Did you fill out the settings for the private messages in the vBTestimonials options?

Yes.

But now, when to Coachman "Would you like to receive a PM when a new Testimonial is added and needs to be validated?" on "Yes", i have a error (above)

if to Coachman "No", it work

[derekivey]

Hmm I will have to take a look. For the To and From fields in the options, did you set them as User IDs or Usernames?

Same as ID

[derekivey]

Not sure, I'll have to take a look on mine and see if it happens to me.

I seem to have an issue with Who's On-line - The hack installed fine but I only have it set up with a style not available to my members however when I view who's on-line most of the people on-line show as viewing the testimonials page! How is this possible when they don't know about it yet?

[derekivey]

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.

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. =)
