[Plugin: TBTestimonials] Request for one additional field

  • Hello Travis,

    I looked at several testimonial plugins, but really wanted one that used Custom Post Types since that is the most elegant solution — and then found your plugin!
    It was just what I was looking for.

    I have just one enhancement request for an additional field.

    On the single- and list- testimonial pages I like to display:
    1) a one sentence “headline” of the testimonial (wrapped in an H2 or H3 say) followed by
    2) the main content of the testimonial (usually wrapped inside a
    < blockquote >)
    3) followed by the name/website/etc

    Your plugin (with its template mechanism) provides everything except the headline field that I like to use.

    Now I know I can format it the way I want in the Post Editor — but people that are not so savvy are not always to good at formatting the content just so. A separate optional headline field will make things more fool proof.

    I am tempted to modify my local copy of the plugin to add the extra field that I want. But I don’t want to since it makes upgrading difficult.

    I would be more than happy to bribe you with the code for the additional field if you decide to add the additional field ??

    Thanks
    Mangesh

    PS: The template mechanism is brilliant!

    Hey Mangesh,

    Sorry it took so long to get back to you. Not a bad idea but I think you could accomplish that with the excerpt as the headline and the post body as the content. Use the output template functionality to display your except in the h2 and then the content below it in a div or whatever.

    Thanks,
    Travis Ballard

    PS: Thank you! That was a fun bit of code to write ??
