• Hi,

    I used the WP-Testimonial Plug-In but I needed the random testimonial not in a Widget but as a Shortcode to place on my Homepage.

    So I finally managed to add this function (see code below), so it would be great if it was added to the next release so I can update it without ruining my efforts ??

    Thank you!!

    /* show random testimonial(s) in SHORTCODE "[Testimonial-Random]" */
    function sfstst_onerandomTwo() {
    	global $wpdb;
    	$table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "testimonials";
    	if (get_option('sfs_setlimit') == '') {
    		$sfs_setlimit = 1;
    	} else {
    		$sfs_setlimit = get_option('sfs_setlimit');
    	}
    	$randomT = $wpdb->get_results("SELECT testid, clientname, company, homepage, text_short FROM $table_name WHERE text_short !='' order by RAND() LIMIT $sfs_setlimit");
    
    	$retvaloTwo .= '<div id="sfstest-sidebar">';
    
    	foreach ($randomT as $randomT2) {
    
    			$retvaloTwo .= '<blockquote>';
    			$retvaloTwo .= '<p>';
    			$retvaloTwo .= nl2br(stripslashes($randomT2->text_short));
    			$retvaloTwo .= '</p>';
    
    			$retvaloTwo .= '<p><cite>';
    			if ($randomT2->company != '') {
    			$retvaloTwo .= stripslashes($randomT2->clientname).'<br />';
    				if ($randomT2->homepage != '') {
    					$retvaloTwo .= '<a href="'.$randomT2->homepage.'" class="cite-link">'.stripslashes($randomT2->company).'</a>';
    				} else {
    					$retvaloTwo .= stripslashes($randomT2->company);
    				}
    
    			} else {
    				$retvaloTwo .= stripslashes($randomT2->clientname).'';
    			}
    			$retvaloTwo .= '</cite></p>';
    			$retvaloTwo .= '</blockquote>';
    
    		} // end loop
    			$sfs_showlink = get_option('sfs_showlink');
    			$sfs_linktext = get_option('sfs_linktext');
    			$sfs_linkurl = get_option('sfs_linkurl');
    
    				if (($sfs_showlink == 'yes') && ($sfs_linkurl !='')) {
    					if ($sfs_linktext == '') { $sfs_linkdisplay = 'Read More'; } else { $sfs_linkdisplay = $sfs_linktext; }
    					$retvaloTwo .= '<div class="sfststreadmore"><a href="'.$sfs_linkurl.'">'.$sfs_linkdisplay.'</a></div>';
    				}
    	$retvaloTwo .= '</div>';
    return $retvaloTwo;
    }
    
    add_shortcode('Testimonial-Random', 'sfstst_onerandomTwo');
