Thread: How to make a testimonial page

Okay, I have decided I had better ask for help before going off on a wild goose chase and wasting hours of idle time. I have watched the form tutorals but I just don't know. I am wanting to make a testimonial page, have in interactive but also have it where I have control over what content is shown. Can anybody help me on where and how to start it? Thanks so much.

The simplest way is to make your testimonial form setup the same way as your contact form. Have it email you and you add it manually to you website. Alternatively you can probably find a script that uses a database to store all the testimonials. You then go in an activate the ones you want to display on your website. I don't know of one off hand, but I can see this being a common feature of many websites, I don't see any reason why there isn't at least one of these scripts readily available to the general public (www.hotscripts.com is a good resource for scripts)

You will probably find more of a selection of a "web-builder" with features like this included (CMS) by using either phpNuke or Joomla, both of which are available via Fantastico! in your Control Panel.

If you stick with Blue Voda, the suggestion to use an upload Form would work fine, and although it means you would need to manaully add to pages, it allows you an opportunity to "Edit" them during the process (which can be as simple as Cut-and-Paste).
