In reply to: [TBTestimonials] Company name not showing in widgetThe only reason it wouldn’t display is if that field were empty when editing the testimonial. If you want to create an admin account for me I will login and check it out for you.
Thanks,

In reply to: [TBTestimonials] Warning disables the plugin on ver 1.7Hey there, somehow the template option in the database was corrupted and I resolved this by adding the default syntax options ‘widget’, ‘shortcode’, and ‘listing’ ( If you’re doing this yourself the names should be all lowercase ) back to the database though the add new template form.
Thanks,

In reply to: [TBTestimonials] Warning disables the plugin on ver 1.7That’s a weird one and I’m not exactly sure why that is throwing an error now unless you never switched to the new template api but then it should work just the tags would be wrong. Can you give me access to the site to peek around and see if I can find that would be causing it?
Thanks,
-TravisThis will be fixed int he next release. Didn’t realize that it was an issue until you brought it up. Thanks!

In reply to: [TBTestimonials] Very strong in terms of templating, optionsThanks for the detailed review.
You mention in the first point of the advanced options about the ability to edit the included stylesheet and asked if it gets overwritten with updates and you’re correct they will be overwritten. So because of that, I would advise against this. Or at the very least create a backup of the css file before performing any updates so that your changes can be added back easily.
Under cons, the loading display (2nd bullet point) can be disabled under the general settings tab by unchecking “display loading graphic”.
To only show testimonials through the widget in a non-ajax manner (Cons, bullet 4), you can uncheck ‘Loop through all testimonials” in the widget settings and it will prevent it from rotating them.
Also, don’t tell Jon (kidding), but I’m considering removing TBar from the next update because of his ranting about it. Not sure when I will release that update though as I’m working on a pro version at the moment and I still have to figure out what I can add to make it worth it for your guys, the users.
Not having TBar in the pro version was going to be a selling point but I think if I can come up with other better selling points that it will justify removing it all-together. Hip hip hooray, right?
Thanks,
Travis BallardThen it would probably get cluttered fairly quickly and thankfully that isn’t the case. There’s nothing wrong with putting the information under the plugin settings but the idea here is to stand out and it does that fairly well in my opinion.
However I am considering the idea of a pro version that would not be free and would probably be priced at around $100 or so. This would not have TBar included with it and would also have other goodies added in as well.
Would that be something you folks would be interested in?
Thanks,

In reply to: [TBTestimonials] New in version 1.6.5 – AdvertisingClayton is right (Thanks for the reply btw), TBar was added in 1.6.2 and I knew there was going to be some folks who didn’t like it, and I’m fine with that. It’s a free plugin and it’s a pretty good one in my opinion so a little bit of self promotion that you can easily turn off isn’t a bad idea. In fact I think it was a great idea because now you and your clients all know my name and what I do for a living.
The reasoning for it being on it’s own settings page is because it’s actually a plugin itself and doesn’t depend on the testimonials plugin in any way. I include it with a lot of projects and plugins so the need for an independent options page was necessary for easier distribution and integration with future projects and plugins.
I’ve also taken the liberty of creating a post on my website regarding this feature and the future of it but to be honest, you’re the second person to really make an issue out of it since it was launched in september so I’m not seeing a whole lot of reason to remove it at the moment.
I appreciate you using the plugin and I hope that you will continue to use it even if you disable the TBar portion of it on your personal website and on your client websites.
Thanks,

In reply to: [TBTestimonials] Next PageHey Ikyo, Hope this helps you a little http://travisballard.com/wordpress/creating-a-paginated-tb-testimonials-output-template/

In reply to: [TBTestimonials] Add company name and url to page templateMy guess is that $post->ID is probably null so it’s not working correctly. It should be within the loop that you’re fwtching the meta. Otherwise you will need to bring $post into the current scope in order to access it. Can you pastebin your template?

In reply to: [Crop-Thumbnails] Division by Zero warningsHow is it not a proper value when they default to 0? http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_image_size
By setting it to 0 you allow it to set a max height or width and let the other value be flexible.
Filter added to GitHub repo you can download the patched version here https://github.com/TravisBallard/TBTestimonials/zipball/master and view the changes here https://github.com/TravisBallard/TBTestimonials/commit/1301055e609128c955e0b8947d3dd03d545c24d5
After you switch over to the patched version you can put this in your functions.php to change the shortcode.
add_filter( 'tbt_testimonial_shortcode', create_function( '', 'return "tbtestimonial";' ) );Thanks,
