  • Compatible with Joomla 2.5, 3.

Let's move on to reviewing the Joomla Reviews component settings. They are divided into three tabs:

  1. Basic settings.
  2. Visual.

Settings

basic settings

Despite the fact that most of the Freestyle Testimonials Lite options are equipped with prompts in Russian (my translation) or are obvious from the name, let's consider them in order to get a more complete picture of the component directly from the article without installing it. It is also worth noting that you will only be able to see the effect of some options when using the Freestyle Support Portal component, since Freestyle Testimonials Lite is part of it.

  • Hide text " Powered by Freestyle Testimonials". Activating this option will hide the Freestyle Testimonials logo at the bottom of every page.
  • Enable jQuery. Freestyle Testimonials Lite requires jQuery library. Several options are available for this option: Automatically– the component will determine whether the given library is loaded on your site or not. If not, it will be loaded, and if so, the existing one will be used (this is designed to reduce the load on your site); Yes– the library will be loaded regardless of its availability; Yes, without noConflict– use this parameter to disable the function of minimizing conflicts with objects from another library; Not– the library will not be loaded regardless of its presence.
  • Use Joomla permissions for moderation. Activating this option allows any user in the Joomla "Editor" and "Publisher" user groups to moderate comments and reviews.
  • Captcha type. Activates captcha when entering feedback. You can choose an option built-in– to use Freestyle Joomla captcha; ReCaptcha- allows you to use the ReCaptcha service; a Nothing- cancels captcha entry. In my opinion, it is better to disable captcha input, but to moderate (check, approve / reject) manually all reviews before they are published.
  • By default, hide the comment form, and display it by clicking on the "Add comment" button. This affects the display of comments. If this option is enabled, the form for adding a comment will be hidden, and when clicking on the link Add a comment- displayed. If this option is disabled, the entire form will be shown.
  • Recaptcha public key, Recaptcha private key. If you want to use your own ReCaptcha keys instead of the default keys, enter them in this field. Otherwise, you won't need to enter anything for ReCaptcha to work.
  • Recaptcha theme. Choose a topic ( Red, White, Black glass, Clear) that will be applied to the ReCaptcha.
  • Short Date and Time Format, Long Date and Time Format, Short Date Format, Short Time Format. You can choose to display different date and time formats. See this section of the documentation for more help. Leave these fields blank to use Joomla's built-in format. For example, "F j, Y, g:i a" (without quotes) would result in "March 13, 2015, 9:48 pm" and "m.d.y" would result in "13.04.15"; "j, n, Y" - "13, 4, 2015", "D M j G:i:s Y" - "Mon April 13 09:50:10 2015".
  • Time zone shift. Change the value from 0 to change the timezone that Freestyle Testimonials uses. Use this only when the time is incorrect in the Joomla 3 feedback module.
  • Test date and timezone format changes. Use this button to test the date format and time zone changes you made in the settings above.

This tab (picture below) contains the main settings of the Joomla review page.

  • Reviews are moderated before display. Determine which reviews should be moderated after the user adds them: All reviews are moderated, Moderate reviews of unregistered users, Moderate reviews of registered and unregistered users, Do not moderate reviews.
  • Allow basic reviews. The main reviews are all reviews, except those left for the products of the VirtueMart online store. Activate this option to create "master reviews". They will be displayed separately, on the side of product reviews.
  • Hide empty elements when enumerating. You can specify whether to display products without reviews when listing products on the reviews page. Reviews for these products can be added on Joomla's main reviews page.

  • Who can add reviews. Determines which users have rights to add reviews. Anyone– all site visitors can add reviews; Only registered users– only users registered on your site can add reviews; Moderators only- only those users who can moderate reviews will be able to add them. Plus, you can specify which users belong to which access level in your Joomla 3 user manager (not to be confused with user groups).
  • E-mail addresses to which the letter will be sent after the review is added (leave blank if you do not want to send letters). If you entered addresses Email in this field, when adding a review, an email with details will be sent to these e-mail addresses.

visual

On this tab (picture below) Freestyle Testimonials Lite gives you options to customize the Joomla 3 testimonials style.

  • Use theme style for pagination. Whether to apply a template style when displaying pagination elements. Many templates do not contain pagination styles, leaving this option disabled will result in the Freestyle Testimonials inline style being applied.
  • Use page title prefix. Show/hide prefix in page titles. If this option is enabled, then the titles will be presented in the following format "FAQ - Category Name". If this option is disabled, it will simply be "Category Name".
  • Use Joomla settings to display page title. If this option is enabled, then the page title will always be shown. Turn off this option and Freestyle Testimonials will use the settings of the current Joomla menu item.
  • Illumination color. Changes the hover color of an element used in Freestyle Testimonials.

Testimonial (testimonial) - a marketing technique when promoting a product and (or) service, based on the active use of someone else's positive opinion about the marketing object.

The term testimonial originates from English testimonial - evidence.

Target Testimonial– popularization of goods and services, increase in their sales, creation of a positive image of the subject of marketing.

Types of testimonials:

  • recommendation letter;
  • author's laudatory characteristic, consumer feedback;
  • direct advertising by a famous person - a consumer who gives the product a positive assessment;
  • using the image of a famous person in indirect advertising.

The essence of the testimonial- a respected character or an ordinary consumer talks about his personal positive experience of using the product. Testimonial is often the use of paid positive opinions and opinion leader statements that are authoritative for specific target audiences, popular faces, pop and sports stars, politicians and other celebrities.

Application of testimonial. This marketing tool is used to promote products that people choose based on advice. Today, “conscientious” testimonial has practically filled the domestic advertising of FMCG products, food products, and banking services. In addition, testimonial is used to popularize complex services and goods, when a complex topic is revealed, as if from a private person, in a language accessible to the mass consumer.

Testimonial became an active marketing tool with the advent of the era of social marketing (Marketing 3.0 according to F. Cutlet).

In addition to the sphere of mass consumption, testimonial is actively used in the b2b segment. In this case, the company distributes praise about its activities, products or services received from customers or partners / affiliates.

Testimonial in internet marketing. Testimonial is used both in off-line marketing and in Internet marketing. In this case, the testimonial exists under the guise of messages in forums, chats, in social networks, blogs, etc.

The activity of using testimonial was the reason for the formulation of the principles of a new "technology for managing virtual consumers" (Management of Virtual Consumers, МVC)

What distinguishes ordinary communication from testimonial communication? The main goal of a testimonial website, brochure, presentation is to show people that:

  • they are not the first to use the services and/or products of the company;
  • that they did not come here in vain, and here they will not be deceived;
  • using a complex product or using a complex service is simple;
  • the topic can be covered in a non-professional, simple and accessible language.

Principles of testimonial communication.

We carefully read what is related to what. Don't forget to add your custom fields to our new view being created and remove the ones that no longer exist.

Customizing Styles

Yes, you can leave everything as is. You'll figure it out later.

  • Template is a template. Play as you like or leave the default.
  • layout- in one column or two, rectangular reviews or not, it's all about taste and color. We leave it as it is, because the view can be changed later.
  • background- the background. Leave it as is or play as you wish.
  • CSS Class Names- and here it is better to specify your class. for example my_otziv
  • Click the save button

Create a new page and name it − Reviews. Insert the shortcode of our first type there — this shortcode is responsible for displaying the comments themselves. id can be anything.

Creating a form in the Strong Testimonials plugin

On the left, in the menu, we find testimonials> views, go to our views and create another new one. Yes, yes, another new look.

click save on the page and view it. As you can see, we have a page with a feedback form. But there were problems. You need to embellish it and make it in your own language. Not satisfied Required Field and Add testimonial etc…

Additional settings

Go to menu -> testimonials -> settings -> form

we replace the descriptions of the forms with our own. See photo:

Add reviews through our form on the created page Reviews. Go to admin -> menu -> testimonials -> and approve or block them.

Any little thing is configured in this plugin, for example: What is your name? (first name or full name) — this is editable in the fields . This expression can be put inside a form. Rearranging this phrase with Label on the Clue- see the constructor on the right! You can separate the form from the output of comment lists with a heading.

CSS Styles

since we set our own style for each species:

  • my_otziv- to display reviews
  • my_form_onziv- to display the form

then, outwardly, you can adjust the display of the review list view and the form itself to match the style of the site.

  • Easy integration of shortcodes into blog pages

This is undoubtedly the greatest script to generate sitemaps. Thank you for great service and a great tool that we use for over thirteen million pages.

I found this tool really easy to use - between the forums and their installation tips it only took me 5 minutes to install (which is impressive because I"m new to this stuff).

I"ve tried several different sitemap generators and I"ve found this one to be the easiest to use and it does the best job (Some of the ones I"ve tried miss a large proportion of the pages on my site, this one found all of them).If you visit the forums you"ll notice the tech support is first rate too.

Liam Kaufman

Your script is a great time saver and worth several times what you are charging for it!

I am going to set it to run automatically (in a cron job) on each of my sites, so that I never have to update my sitemaps manually again. With several sites this will save me quite a few hours each week.

I was using a Windows program that would automatically generate and FTP the sitemap, but I still had to be there to run the program. With your script, I no longer need to waste my time doing that. thank you.

The broken links report are a God send.

After adding new content to my site the generator alerted me to 256 broken links which I would never have know about and helped me fix the problem quickly.

What a wonderful tool! The Standalone Sitemap Generator is a must-have for any serious web professional. I"m not exaggerating when I say that this product will save me several days work in the course of an average month.

The online tool is also a gem.

Thanks so much

Your XML generator is a breath of fresh air. It is fast, easy to use and powerful.

For a small business owner, Maintaining a website is a necessity, but should not take up too much time. This tool makes it easy to stay current, with quick and easy instructions.

My web activity has increased as a result. I have added your tool to my Favorite Places, as is now part of my weekly scheduled maintenance. thank you!

I just wanted to mention that I"m a big fan of your Online XML Sitemaps Generator. I optimize web sites for multiple clients and so I need to create detailed sitemaps on a regular basis.

Your XML generator is much easier to use than others and always grabs each and every page in each and every sub-directory, unlike other similar products.

I have wasted much time fooling around with xml sitemap generators, either they produce errors or they just did not work. Yours is simple to set-up and use, and makes it easy to find dead links in large sites.

The best $14.99 I have spent on the internet in a long time.

For a long time, I have been trying to understand how to write a sitemap. Thank you very much for this automatic and easy process of creating a sitemap.

Evren Canturk

Finding site has been a treasury to our new business and customers! Fulfillment was easy to achieve using this tool because it was simple and effective to use. Shortly after submitting our sitemap to Google and urllist to Yahoo - our site was somehow magically listed. Not just our main page but every page on our site! We are now listed in all major search engines like Google, Yahoo, and MSN. I plan to continue using this utility to promote our site within the search engines.

Kudos site, smart thinking.

Brian Lee

You guys are fantastic! With all the rip-off merchants around, it is a delight to find such decent and helpful people.

Great website... best sitemap generator on the web.

many thanks,
