Hey thanks Cameron for reporting this. I see the issue and will get an update out for you as soon as possible. I am swamped at the moment but I will add it to my priority list. Maybe get something out over the weekend hopefully.

Hey there,

I would love to help and provide you with what you are looking for however I am a freelance developer and I do charge an hourly rate. If you’re interested you can visit https://travisballard.com/hire-me/ and fill out the form to get the ball rolling.

Thanks,
Travis Ballard

Yes it’s still actively maintained and works well with 3.8

Correct, the plugin does not have that feature, no. In order to add that feature you would have to extend the plugin by writing your own code in your theme files.

I don’t think this is something that will find it’s way into a future version of the plugin because the plugin uses jQuery cycle to do it’s animation, and that is not an option with it currently.

That being said, it’s not overly difficult to extend with these capabilities if you have a bit of PHP knowledge.

Yes it will but it’s not all that bad really, if you’re looking at the blog post from the other thread (about creating a paginated output template) you’ll notice a testimonial widget in my sidebar. I do it there. Aside from that you’d have to create a new widget to put it outside of the loop. or a new output template that has the loop inside of it like the pagination template.

Not sure if it’ll help, but see this for an example of a more advanced output template travisballard.com/wordpress/creating-a-paginated-tb-testimonials-output-template/

Ah yes you are correct. It’s definitely possible. You’d have to create a new output template that outputs the html for the scroller you want. Your theme would also have to include the js file to do it since cycle is not capable of that ( I dont think ). You can also probably disable cycle in the settings sinc eyou’ll be using your own js to control things as well.

Sure, edit your output template to add a link that links to the testimonials page. Sort of like I do on my home page but it doesn’t rotate. travisballard.com

Set it to display 1, then loop through all.

Hey there! Sorry for the delayed reply here, thank you greatly for assisting, Michelle! I have plans to add a button to reset things to default incase of corruption or whatever and I think it would be good to have. No promises on when that will be available though, I’m a bit busy on a few projects and have to find some spare time to work on it.

Thanks for using TB-Testimonials,
Travis Ballard

An yyes, using a testimonial.php will render the output templates useless since that is essentially your new output template. If you still want to use them you can use $tbtestimonials->prepare_testimonial(TEMPLATE_NAME); eg: $tbtestimonials->prepare_testimonial('widget'); to display the widget output syntax. This owuld be used within the loop as well.

while( have_posts() ) { the_post(); echo $tbtestimonials->prepare_testimonial('widget'); }

Indtead of using $post->ID, trying using get_the_ID() since you’re in the loop. That should fix it I think it look slike it’s not working because $post isn’t in scope and doesn’t contain the correct ID you expect it to.

Thanks,

Hi, you can create a new output template that does not display the thumbnail or title and then in your shortcode, pass the ‘template’ argument telling it which one to use. [testimonial template="my template"]

I like it! Coloring the list below the calendar would be a nice touch as well. Maybe just changing the date icon bg color to the category color would be nice. or a background-color on the whole thing too. What do you think?

Also does yours change color when a new color is selected for a category? or is it coded intot he css like i did my version? which you can see here

Go for it I posted the code above. Aside from that in my functions.php, I created a new template file, THEME/tribe-events/widgets/mini-calendar/grid.php and hooked my functions in through there.

Note that in my version of grid.php I use a static method and not a function so you would need to change that.
