ok it installed fine and works great. I have been using your mod for quite a while. I used to use the version that required a separate .txt file which contained the quotes.

It is a great mod now, but I have one minor niggle. Why have you chosen the syntax:

"quote" | "quote"

It took me quite a while to convert all my quotes into this format. Would it not have been easier to use:

"quote"
"quote"

Other than that, great work! The admin panel is very useful 8)

EDIT - when I post and am on the confirmation page, the quote displays

Code: Select all

 <> <> <<>
Is this deliberate? Is there a way that I can get nothing to appear on the confirmation page?

ah thats right, i havent uploaded the latest version to my server.

let me upload the file and then try re-downloading it. in the newer version, i have fixed the "<><><>" thing

and i chose "quote" | "quote" because i thought that "|" would be a good separator between quotes.

i suppose in a newer version i could just have the user define their own separator, it wouldnt be hard to do.

try downloading the MOD again tomorrow

ok thanks...but now I have the mod installed, will it be hard to upgrade to this new version?

I'd rather just edit the bits that have changed to fix the <><><>

What do I need to add (or remove) from the original code

#-----[ OPEN ]---------------------------
#

includes/page_header.php

#
#-----[ FIND ]----------------------------
#
exec_rndm_quotes();

#
#-----[ BEFORE, ADD ]--------------------------
#
$quotes_bold = 'b';
$quotes_underline = 'u';
$quotes_italic = 'i'; 

#
#-----[ SAVE/CLOSE ALL FILES ]--------------------------
#
# EoM

How about making it available for users to post quotes (word censor, user_id, bbcode, smilies pass, etc.).

Can anyone provide support with the post above?

Is it possible to have the random quote appear only on certain page (portal)?

sorry, i think that line was just thrown in there when i had originally planned to set it up using the general admin config page.

i suppose i just didnt remove it when i decided to change methods, although that wont have any effect on the MOD itself.

as long as you install the MOD the way the rest of the instructions tell you to, it will work fine.

what is not working?

it works for me and everyone else.

you could make the quotes appear on certain pages by just removing the code from the overal_header.tpl and changing it to the tpl files of the pages you want the quotes on.
