How do i remove “Powered by RS Web Solutions”
January 20, 2014 at 7:45 PM
Powered by link is already removed in our latest version.
January 21, 2014 at 11:42 AM
First thank you for the quick response. I am using Version 2.0 as my Joomla is 2.5. So, is there a way to remove “Powered by link”. Also, how do i solve the following:
1. When a user submits a testimony. I want to display a confirmation message such as “Thank you for sharing your testimony” without the submission form being displayed.
2. I would like to display some message in the submission form such as “Testimonies are not published immediately after submission. They are first reviewed before publishing”. When i do this from the “Language File”…the same message is displayed in the “Show testimonials” form. Is there a way to display this message only in the “Submission Form”
Thank you.
January 21, 2014 at 4:41 PM
Version 2.0 for Joomla 2.5 is also updated. Please download the new files and use it in your website. This will remove the “powered by” link.
Unfortunately the other 2 options are not available.
January 22, 2014 at 11:59 AM
Thank you. Powered by link is successfully removed.
January 13, 2014 at 9:23 PM
Hi
I would like to be able to change the following:
‘Your input is important to us. Please provide your valuable feedback. Here are some testimonials from our clients:’
Is there anyway that I can do this within the component element.
January 14, 2014 at 10:14 AM
Go to “Joomla Admin” => “Components” => “RSMonials” => “Language File” and then edit the respective language file as per your needs.
Please Note: Do it carefully, maintain the proper format of Joomla language file.
September 4, 2013 at 3:07 PM
HI ! and thanks for this component !!
just a question : is it possible to manage testimonials in order to display different content by language ?
September 6, 2013 at 11:57 AM
Unfortunately categorization option is not implemented yet.
July 29, 2013 at 10:01 PM
How I can capture the IP?
July 30, 2013 at 10:36 AM
Sorry, currently there is no option to capture the IP.

I like this component very much, I tested it at localhost. It’s pretty awesome and fulfilled my desired of testimonial component.
Unfortunately, my site is now running in joomla 3, so I can’t use this lovely component.
I also found out that all of rswebsols’ extensions are not yet suitable for joomla 3.
Hopefully, the developer is willing and kind enough to update this extension and related modules.
Thank you very much for making all of your extension to be non commercial.
July 30, 2013 at 10:37 AM
Will surely release version for Joomla 3 soon. Please be patience.
August 5, 2013 at 3:29 PM
Can you tell when the joomla 3 version will be released. We need the component soon and have to look for something else if not ready in time
July 11, 2013 at 1:51 PM
Hello. I use Joomla 2.5 in one of my web sites. I receive lots of emails related to Testimonial. But only a few of them are real. I mean a few of them are related to posts in Testimonial. please help me with this issue. Thanks.
July 11, 2013 at 3:10 PM
If currently you are not enabled the ReCaptcha then please enable it. This may solve the issue. Any other spam protection is currently not available.
July 18, 2013 at 5:16 PM
I’ve the same problem with the spam, since three weeks ago it’s becoming bigger every day.
Please, try to implement any other solution.

Thanks for all.
July 18, 2013 at 8:45 PM
ReCaptcha is not enabled in your website.
Please get your ReCaptcha API Keys from here: http://www.google.com/recaptcha
Then active it from RSMonials settings section.
June 19, 2013 at 3:37 PM
Hello,
I have been using RSMonials (version 2.0) for some time now, always with ReCaptcha enabled. Since some time I am receiving a ridiculous amount of spam. Is there anything I can do to avoid this?
Thank you so much in advance!
Regards, Annika.
June 19, 2013 at 7:22 PM
Unfortunately no other spam protection option is available currently. Our several customers already notifying us that ReCaptcha is also not working for some websites. We are already implementing some other options in our next version. It will release soon.
June 19, 2013 at 8:48 PM
Hello Souvik,
Thanks for your reply. Can you give me any information on when new release will become available? It’s becoming really urgent as I have already removed over 30 spam testimonials today..(!)
Thanks again, Annika.
June 19, 2013 at 11:17 PM
It is hard to say a tentative date, but it will take some time to release. Due to work overload our development team is not getting enough time to complete it fast. But they will surely try their best to finish it quickly. Please be patience. Sorry for the inconvenience.
June 21, 2013 at 3:47 PM
I will probably have to look for something else, as I am receiving about 150 spam messages daily and can’t keep on removing them manualy..
Thanks for the info!
June 24, 2013 at 10:23 PM
Annika,
I too am frustrated with this issue.
My temporary solution was to just change the admin_email in the RSmonial settings to a new email account on the host. I check it twice a week for any real testimonials.
Or set admin_email_alert to false.
Regards,
Jeff

Hi
Thanks for the component. In the scroller module I am getting ‘undefined’ under the first testimonial (there is only one currently) is there are way to remove this?
January 26, 2013 at 2:00 PM
When you have only one testimonial then use “RSMonials Module” instead of “RSMonials Scroller”. When you will get more than one testimonials then enable the “Scroller” module.
December 17, 2012 at 5:02 AM
Hello, BTW Amazing Product…I have purchased your license version of RSmonial and I need way to have the scrolling module scroll from left to right instead of up. Can you direct me to where I can find this code and where can I put this code in the existing files. Thanks in advance
December 17, 2012 at 10:09 AM
Unfortunately left to right or right to left scrolling option is not currently implemented in RSMonials Scroller module. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

I paid for version 1.5.3. Can I upgrade to this one? Will I still have to pay for it? Thank you. Fedir
October 19, 2012 at 11:52 AM
Unfortunately no upgrade option is available. You have to purchase it once again.
October 5, 2012 at 1:03 PM
I try to plug in joomla 2.5.x
but why i can’t in pairs?
such Virus?
out an error message like this
Security Alert
The file you are uploading was rejected by the server.
It probably contents viruses or trojans that can damage your website
Do not attempt to upload it again as your IP address may be blocked.
October 5, 2012 at 5:56 PM
As our RSMonials free version is contains some encrypted code, your server’s security system may be treating it as a security vulnerability. But actually there is no security issue. So to get a solution if it is possible by you to add RSMonials in the safe list in your server’s antivirus program please do that. Otherwise you can purchase a un-encrypted powered by link free copy of RSMonials from our website.

Hi Das,
I have just installed 2.0 to my Jommla 2.5.3. and I cannot get the front end to allow users to submit testimonials. RSmonials ‘settings’ tab does not provide and option to display “Testimonial Submission Form”. I can only add testimonials in the back end and then they only appear in the module. Not in the main body of my site. I followed step 7 of your instructions and I have created the RSmonials menu item. I tried all the “what to show” settings but still no menu item appears in my website. I’ve made sure everything is set to public. And in RSmonials settings I made sure login_to_submit_testimonial = false.
September 15, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Please provide the URL of your website so we can review.
August 29, 2012 at 12:34 PM
RScaptcha enabled. Why bots write? How to add easycalccheckplus (re-captcha is very difficult for many users)
Thanks
August 29, 2012 at 5:30 PM
The default captcha is not too strong. easycalccheckplus captcha system is still not implemented. Please use ReCaprcha for now. We will try to implement more captcha system in our next release.
August 29, 2012 at 9:56 PM
OK. I’ll be waiting impatiently. And thanks for the good component and nice module
June 8, 2012 at 6:27 AM
I’ve selected the “Show only the Submission Form”, yet I still get this message at the top of the form:
“Your input is important to us. Please provide your valuable feedback. Here are some testimonials from our clients:”
Where do I amend this to omit the last sentence?
Thank you for a great extension.

1. To disable this paragraph go to “Joomla Admin” => “Components” => “RSMonials” => “Settings” and then set “show_desc” to “false”.
2. To edit this paragraph go to “Joomla Admin” => “Components” => “RSMonials” => “Language File” and then edit the respective language file as per your needs.
June 8, 2012 at 3:17 PM
Many thanks, Souvik.
I’ll give it a try.
Ess
June 8, 2012 at 4:31 PM
Thanks, Souvik. It worked.
One more thing… is there a way for the administrator of the site to manage submitted testimonials from the front-end? My client isn’t technically inclined, so I’m trying to avoid her going to the Joomla back-end, if possible.
Thanks again.
Ess
June 8, 2012 at 4:43 PM
Unfortunately front-end administration option is currently not available for RSMonials. We are very sorry for the inconvenience.
May 29, 2012 at 2:58 PM
Hello,
In my case, I use Joomla 2.5.4 and no email is sent to admin when user post a testimonial.
May 29, 2012 at 3:51 PM
Set “admin_email_alert” to “true”. This option is available under “Settings” tab of RSMonials.
May 26, 2012 at 9:31 PM

Hi,
Awesome component, i’ve used it for a while with a smile on ma face:D But one question, does it support sh404sef?
Thanks! Great work, i will test 2.0 soon…
Best regards,
Hans
May 22, 2012 at 10:07 AM
Although this component do not have inbuilt support of sh404sef, but it is very easy to configure the URL structure of this extension under sh404sef.
May 19, 2012 at 12:47 AM
Every time I install the component it breaks my admin menu, every time I try to install anything afterwards i get this error:
JTableMenu: :_getNode Failed -
Error building Admin Menus
only happens after installing RSmonials
the RSmonials doesnt seem to work well either, menu items that point to the form do not work.
I think this needs some more work
