What setting should I switch on to be able to approve them before they are visible? And is there any remote way to show them in the forum rss feed external.php?

derekivey · #93 06-14-2006, 04:32 PM

Set Moderate Testimonials to yes. Not sure about adding it to the RSS feed, because I have never worked with RSS before, sorry

.

It worked in 3.6.0 Beta 1. But I need one more thing. I need to pin the first testimonial on the top and the others I don't mind in the descending order. But I need one on the top. Is it possible somehow?

derekivey · #95 06-14-2006, 06:23 PM

Not quite sure how you would do it, but it would probably require you to add another query to get the first one, and then edit the already existing query to get the others.

Or maybe I just want to add a note above the testimonials. Please tell me how to do it, in which template?

hurry · #97 06-14-2006, 06:54 PM

If I (admin) edit a Testiominial, it shows the Last edited by.. line at the bottom of the testimonial even though I have stoped that feature for the forum posts. How to make it disappear for the testimonials?

Also since I have kept this feature on even for unregistered members, it would be nice to have a field in the add testimonial to enter their actual name. Without it, I will have to manually edit the testimonial and put their name there instead of the Unregistered name.

$vbphrase[vbtestimonials_rating_of_our_service] - I'm not sure that exists....

Thanks for this mod.
When a user posts a testimonial, the radios for 1 2 3 4 5 line up fine in IE, but not in FF.
Any suggestion on how to fix this?

Should be the template called vBTestimonials if I remember correctly.

You would have to edit it out of the following code from vBTestimonials_Code:

PHP Code:


			
<if condition="$sr[editusername]">
<br />
<div class="smallfont">
<em>
<phrase 1="$sr[edituserid]" 2="$sr[editusername]" 3="$editdate" 4="$edittime">$vbphrase[vbtestimonials_last_edited_by]</phrase>
</em>
</div>
</if>

That code is near the bottom of the template.

I didn't test it in Firefox, but now I see what you mean. I'll have to look into it further to see how to fix it.
