Video tutorials for creating and using templates in FV testimonials

MartinAranovitch 13 years, 2 months ago

I don’t understand how to use templates. I thought we create a template using HTML and the tags/tokens, then select the template in the testimonial edit window, but it seems that we have to embed template code into the page’s php code.

Can you provide a video or screenshot tutorial for people like me who are not technically savvy enough to work out how to do this?

Thank you for considering my request.

Regards,

Martin

Hi Martin,

sorry we do not have video tutorial, but I’ll try to explain it here:

Yes, you create your template using html and tags, just as you said. The templates are, however not assigned to single testimonials as you thought.
Templates are assigned to testimonials when being rendered on a page, this way you can use different templates for same testimonials on different places on your page.

Templates are assigned in the shortcode, using the -t{number} tag, for example:
[Testimonials: -c1 -t2 ]

This will output all testimonials from the 1st category and it will use 2nd template.

Check out other tags that can be used in the shortcode here
