How should the code look on my page?

This first part is placed where you want the customer testimonials to appear on your website. An ideal location is a side column next to product or service offerings. You can paste the code altogether or as suggested.

<!-- Place where you want testimonials to appear -->
<div id="trobot"></div>

<!-- Best placed at bottom of page before closing "body" tag -->
<script type="text/javascript" defer src="http://www.testimonialrobot.com/ver/latest/trobot-js.php?add=true&id=XXXXX&c=222&b=e8e8e8&d=true&t=t"></script>

The only difference in the review version code is the use of t=r (for star ratings) instead of t=t (standard testimonial) setting in the code to change the mode of the widget.

What are the widget options / settings?

The options below allow you to customise the widget appearance on your page so as to look in tune with your own color scheme. There are more features planned for the commercial versions of the widget.

Widget Options
Each setting option needs to be preceded by an & symbol like in the above snippet. (At the end of the src="...&b=trans&f=2" section etc)

Settings  
add= [true | false] (Adds the [Add Testimonial] or [Add Review] link at bottom of widget)
c= [xxxxxx] (text color setting without)
b= [xxxxxx] (background color setting)
(New: b=trans will work as a transparent background and will blend in with your page!)
d= [true | false] (option to display the date of submission)
f= [date format]
1 = d.m.y (e.g. 30.10.14)
2 = m.d.y (e.g. 10.30.14)
3 = month day, year (e.g. October 30, 2014)
We will make option 3 the default
st= [x] (optional style setting 0=quotequote, 1 = tick icon tick, others to be added soon)
t= [t | r] (optional t = testimonial mode and r = reviews mode with star ratings)
id= [xxxxxxxx] (your 8-digit member code as provided when you registered, not to be confused with your online password)
w= [x] width of widget in pixels or exclude to have the width autofit to your window size
sh= [xxxpx] e.g. sh=160px (use to increase / decrease scroller/slider height)
r= 1 (rounded corners for widget)
form= [true] for scrolling widget: hidden form which displays on hover (click again to hide)

xxxxxx is the 6-digit Hex color value (note please do not include the # symbol for your hex color code)
NEW: b=trans will work as a transparent background and will blend in with your page! Works best with light backgrounds
NEW: form=true will add a inline form with ajax submission of the review for scroller / slider version

My credit card is due to expire soon, will it affect my subscription

Yes. So you should update your paypal account with your new card before the old one expires or add funds to cover your fees. Then you will need to Re-Register using the option on our pricing page, quoting the member id you were sent via email when you first registered.

To choose a newer credit card for this subscription click here in your paypal.

Why is my scrolling widget not working even though I added it correctly?

You should first check that there are no javascript errors on your page as a result of other plugins or widgets. Use Google Chrome (quite good for spotting errors) to check settings ->tools->javascript console

If you find and eliminate errors that should remedy the problem. Otherwise contact us and we will help you. Some older versions of Jquery can cause issues i.e. versions below 1.3.2 can cause problems.

How can I change the look of the widget using CSS styling?

Use the following class and name IDs to alter css styles...

Use to style the form as you wish (add to <head> or within <body> )

<style>
#trobot {} /* wrapper container for the widget */
.trobot_head {} /* heading bar text */
.trobot_comments {} /* main text comments */
.trobot_button {} /* if add=true is set */
.trobot_form {} /* if form is present */

</style>

You can access form items also - just view source of your page to get the form IDs.

Can I make the background transparent?
