I have a client wanting to allow his clients to be able to write a testimonial through his site...My first thought was let them do it via a comment form on the actual testimonials page for example but not sure how to display them nicely or let them add a picture (optional feature I just thought of). (currently he gives me written testimonials and I manually add them to the site)
I'd of course like whatever they write to be approved first.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
Mike
If your main concern is the styling of the comments, you can modify the comment_form extension and/or use CSS.
Use of the comment_form extension is the best approach if you also want to be able to approve the testimonials first.
It's not possible to upload images into comments.
Easiest is to set printCommentForm to not show the comments itself and code that manually using the next_comment loop on the theme. Best would be to use the multiple_layouts plugin (there is a short doc on the user guide) to provide a specific Zenpage page layout just for the testimonials.
Hmmm well I have everything formatted nicely at this point. And this testimonials page is the only one with comments enabled so I'm ok there. Was just hoping to be able to display street. Can't figure out the syntax though. Like I said I see it in the backend...just not able to display it.
Sorry, the standard function just does not display it (normally street is nothing you would show from a commenter). Remember we are using the comments a bit creative off the standard. So you will have to do some coding. Either what I suggested or a custom version of printCommentFrom (my suggestion is easier).
