JoomingDales.com - Extensions for Joomla and Virtuemart

Hi there!

First: I think, this is a great extension, exactly what I needed - well, almost, just read on..

I found some errors when running it with Joomla 1.0.15 and VirtueMart 1.0.14.

Just after installation I had problems to get it to show something else than an empty page. The problem was, that two files (administrator/components/com_jdtestimonials/toolbar.jdtestimonials.php and administrator/components/com_jdtestimonials/admin.jdtestimonials.php) called class_exists with two parameters while it is defined with only one parameter. Commenting out the ",false" helped.

Now I see several entries in my errorlog, regarding two problems. These are (slightly shortened):
PHP Notice: Undefined property: checked_out in ********/includes/joomla.php on line 5585, referer: ********/administrator/index2.php?option...s&act=orderssent
PHP Notice: strtotime(): Called with empty time parameter in ********/administrator/components/com_jdtestimonials/admin.jdtestimonials.html.php on line 187

I might have a look at these, maybe I can fix them too.

I also corrected the german language file a little bit.

If you want me too, I can pack it together when I'm done and upload it here.

I also have some questions.

What would I have to do, to be allowed to change the code otherwise than bugfixing? I want it to not ask for a text but provide a form which allows the user to enter some data which could be condensed into a diagram, lets say a pie or other chart.

Like:
How much have you been satisfied by our service?
- VERY much
- It was great, only very small things can be made better
- I will never buy anywhere else again!
- It was ABSOLUTELY perfect!


I want the input to be saved in a database table. After this, one can count the number of inputs and create a chart from them.

Thanks for answers in advance,

Lars

Addition: I could fix the error with the undefined checked_out by changing line 133 in admin.jdtestimonials.php to look like this:
$query = "SELECT t.id, t.name, t.dtstamp, t.text, t.published, t.checked_out, v.name as editor "
The error with the strtotime didn't reappear.

I will let our coder respond asap to these things.

Your idea for piechart etc. was already on our todo list for a "Pro Version".

We will try to solve the problems asap. (if any) Please send me the german files so I can include them for a future update. Thanks for your help on that...(I am not native german, I just tried...)

Hello Martijn,

thank you very much for your fast answer!

What is the expected release date for the "Pro Version"? What will you charge for it?

The problems are already solved now, at least for me.

Your try on the german file was quite good.. I'll attach my version with slight corrections (at least I'll try).

Kind regards,

Lars

I expect a Pro version within a few weeks. Not sure exactly. First we will make a native 1.5 version.

The Pro version will be reasonably cheap (between 10-25 euros I presume). Personally I hate expensive extensions. I believe you can better sell an item 10.000 x for 10 euros than 1000 times for 100 euros.

Martijn

ps thanks for the german text, I will include it in the new release.

Thanks again!

Unfortunately I can't wait for several weeks, so I'll have to code something myself from scratch.

You get the german text for free and free, free of charge and free of any restrictions.
