Testimonials



- This extension requires registration to download.
There is also a possibility to manage testimonials from the front-end - if you add users to the component's managers they can edit and approve testimonials from the front-end UI.
The component can be used as a testimonials addon for VirtueMart enabling you to place testimonials on VirtueMart based e-commerce site.
The component supports Joomla! 1.6 Advanced Control Levels.
The module that comes with the component gives a possibility to plug in testimonials into the main menu of the site where they will be paged through one by one creating a nice animated effect. You can even show a set of testimonials just for specific menus or content — a feature that allows you to define what testimonials should be shown in module relative to any menu (using tags).
The component comes with 6 predefined templates which can be viewed on our site. There is also a template manager to help you modify the templates.
If you want to add some fields to the testimonial form, you can make use of the custom fields feature.
The content plugin that comes with the component will allow you to insert several number of testimonials right into your content pages - and different ones will be shown each time a page is refreshed. The plugin supports templates.
Joomla! 1.5 and Joomla! 1.6 compatible.
See Testimonials Live Demo for Joomla! 1.5 on our demo site http://demo.joomplace.com/index.php?option=com_testimonials&Itemid=71.
Users don’t need to login, folks like it. Captcha keeps you safe and then the component sends e-mail request to administrator to approve a testimonial before it is published. I does even more I expected to be done. Nice one.
Install was smooth - everything - except for some broken icons on the confirmation page. Then eager to get start I click on the component only to be brought to a blank screen. Not working.
Tech support was less then expected for a commercial product. I tried another free product and it worked - but still not what I wanted. I want this one to work as promised.
Once I brought the matter to tech support attention this was their ticket reply:
We have investigated the issue. The component appears to be in your Members Area and is available for download.
We presume something might be wrong on your side.
Try downloading the component once again or using another browser for download. Should the problem persist, let us know please and we will assist further.
Besides, there is no license anymore. It used to be several years ago. At present, all you have to do to get an extension is to make a payment. Once this is done, a download link appears in your Members Area.
I have deleted the article from our forum in order not to confuse customers. Sorry for the inconvenience caused."
Now come on - let not blame the customer. I am an experience server manager, and website designer, I may be new to joomla - but Iam not clueless...just maybe there's a problem with your code.
Documentation is poor, this could help give your buyers some direction.
Dear Haitus,
Please accept our apologies for these inconveniences. We seem to have misunderstood your problem.
In no way did we want to offend or blame you. It is sad to hear this miscommunication took place.
We fully agree that sometimes errors occur when installing software. Moreover, we admit that it as well may happen due to defects in our software. However we are always willing to assist in fixing them and finding a solution to make our customers happy.
I hope we will have a chance to salvage your expectations.
It is one thing to get a great extension, but it is an even greater thing to get the support you need after you start using it!
I like it so much I created a screencast video tutorial on how to add and manage testimonials for my clients
Thanks, JoomPlace!
