Oddly, removing the Randomize check and editing the order will make them play in the order 1,2,3,4…

As soon as I re-check Randomize it plays in Testimonial ID order 435,436,437…

Hal, are there any issues with the latest version of WP and the current version of the Testimonials Rotator?

Have looked at all of the screen shots from this thread and the other thread that had the same topic (just Gretchen) and none of the suggestions allow my testimonials to randomly appear. Starts with same one each time and follows the same order.

Created and named a Rotator
Need to use it as a Widget
Also tried this Shortcode on a page [testimonial_rotator id=”434″ shuffle=”true”] which did not randomize

Using Lonform
Have Randomize Testimonials in Editor
Attached to Rotator in Testimonial
Also Override Rotator Settings with Yes in Randomize Testimonial drop down list

Tried leaving the Testimonial order 0, and also tried re-ordering them to see if it would change (it did not have any affect)

Am I missing anything?

Oddly, I had tried another testimonial widget plugin and did not like the limited settings and that one also would not randomize. Settled on yours, really want it to work because I like the horizontal flip!

Answers to your final questions:

1) nothing done to $protocols array

2) we use this format for document links:

file://///SERVER/folder/file.extension

Not sure why, but the extra slashes made it work – I had found this after hours of searching the www.ads-software.com forums/knowledgebase.

Hope that helps.

To open local files on our Intranet, I have solved this as best I can specific instructions for the three browsers used (IE9, Mozilla and Chrome).

We did find that opening file links via the Intranet works easiest when using the Internet Explorer (IE9) browser.

In Mozilla/Firefox, install the Add-on LocalLink: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/locallink/

(NOTE: Once installed, using the Mozilla/Firefox browser and Add-on requires that you RIGHT click on the document links and then select “Open Link in Local Context” to open.)

In Chrome, install the extension “LocalLinks”: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/jllpkdkcdjndhggodimiphkghogcpida?utm_source=gmail

(NOTE: If you have any difficulty opening the link search the Chrome Web Store for LocalLinks WITHIN the Chrome browser and install the extension that way)

Hope that helps!

Wondering if adding “file” to the list of protocols might fix my problem, but some of the functions have been deprecated so not sure how to write this now:

$protocols
(array) (optional) An array of acceptable protocols. Defaults to ‘http’, ‘https’, ‘ftp’, ‘ftps’, ‘mailto’, ‘news’, ‘irc’, ‘gopher’, ‘nntp’, ‘feed’, ‘telnet’ if not set.

Default: null

WHAT is the code to add ‘file’ as an accepted protocol and WHERE does the edit happen now that some of these functions have been deprecated?

Getting close?

Sorry – forgot the code actually made live links in this post. Code without carrots so you can see the actual slashes, etc here:

a href=”https://///SERVER/Inventory/Physical Inventory 2011.xlsx” target=”_blank”>another file</a

*Currently opens to “The page cannot be found”

a href=”https:///\\server/Inventory/Physical Inventory 2011.xlsx”>Test File

*Currently opens to “Server not found”

a href=”file://///SERVER/Inventory/Physical Inventory 2011.xlsx” target=”_blank”>another file</>

*Using “file:” – does not work at all

a href=”file:///\\server/Inventory/Physical Inventory 2011.xlsx”>Test File</a

*Using “file:” – does not work at all

Thanks Alex – If it were only that simple. Our site has a static home page.

The current order of posts is very weird. The top post is an old one form last year, then the second post is one from earlier this month and the rest of the posts seem to be in normal chronological order. The most recent few posts do not show at all.
