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.
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
Yes, I plan on adding this hopefully to the next version.

Any advice please?
Got a link to the file so I can see what you mean?
Well I upgraded to 3.6 finally and noticed none of my hacks show up, I needed to revert my skin (SmoothBlue) and that pretty much wiped all my hacks out. Is there an easy way to get this going again without having to start fresh with the testimonials which were already added?
Check and see if the vbtestimonials_ tables exist in the database. If they do, see if there is anything in them (click on one of them and click Browse at the top of PHPMyAdmin). If the stuff is already there, you should be able to install it in the product manager and continue to use it as normal.
derekivey, thanks for this stuff! i can`t get it to work. first i have to do all the sql-queries p. hand in the database.
after the installation finished it is not possible to add a testimonial because the same page reloaded. so any idea, what is missing? permissions are set. system ist 3.5.4.
