Add Testimonials to the database

You can now add testimonials to the database through the Refinery CMS. The testimonials fields are

• quote (the actual testimonial)
• name (of testimonial sender)
• company ( ditto )
• website ( ditto )
• jobtitle ( ditto )
• received_channel (letter, email, facebook, twitter)

##Control Testimonial display on a page

Each page now has a testimonials tab which can be used to decide how testimonials should be displayed on that page

• Show Testimonials on this page (default: no)
• How many testimonials to show (n, 0 means show all)
• How to select and order which testimonials to show (Random, Most Recent First)

Changes to Views or Layout Templates

See Enabling Custome Layout Templates in this refinery guide

Views

Somewhere in a view or layout you will need to call the testimonials partial.

<section id='side'>
  <%= raw @page.content_for(:side) %>
  <%= render 'refinery/testimonials/testimonials' %>
</section>

will render the CMS content for a page part called 'side', followed by some testimonials.

For more control over what is displayed the @testimonials collection is available for you. You can call your own partial to render the collection.

<%= render 'myTestimonials', :testimonials => @testimonials.as_json %>
