OK…wow, well that didn’t take me too long to figure out…just an FYI, in testimonial_manager.php I saw that the output string was putting an extra filetype attribute so I was looking for your definition of that ($filename) and I removed it, and it worked =) I am happy now.
Below the // Save the data block
Changed:
$inputdata['own_avatar'] = $url.$filename;
to:
$inputdata['own_avatar'] = $url;

And also perhaps check the permission settings for the wp-content/uploads folder – perhaps change it to “777″

Can you try a filename with no *dot* in it – for example filename.jpg instead of file.name.jpg

looking through page src data, the file is looks like “http://sniperdaytrading.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/03/advert-copy2-t.jpgadvert-copy2.jpg” …so probably something to do with formula to rename file after resizing? Don’t know php at all, but I’m messing with it to see if I can figure it out… =/

Plugin works except for uploading own images. The files upload to the server okay, but the images aren’t shown in the testimonial page. Can you help…running latest version of plugin and wordpress 2.9.2…thanks =)

I’ve figured this one out.

It’s not necessary to change the core WP code just the Testimonials code.

Find the Testimonial plugin files in your setup, they should be in a folder called testimonials-manager under plugins (note that this is in wp-content not wp-admin as you might suspect)

The file you want to edit is testimonial-manager.php

Around line 75 you will see the start of the code that sets who see’s what.

You will see the three Testimonail Manager menu items (Manage, Add New and Settings) all set to administrator.

Just change administrator to editor for the items that you want to make available to your Editors. I left Settings at administrator for my set up.

Hope this helps

Just upgraded to 2.0.3, and the issue is fixed. Nice work!

I could do with being able to do this too.

Any advice.

Thanks
