ok... 3 posts in a row (sorry)... but just wanted to give more info.... as i've tried everything i can think of and still no luck....

i use vbadvanced and i edited the navbar where the quotes show up there. They only show up once you are on the FORUMHOME (index.php), but do not show up on my main page (which i use portal.php).... I can get normal text to show up ex: TEST $showrandomquote

TEST will show up on the main page of the portal, and then if you click to the forums page then you see TEST + the quote....

i've looked through phrases + templates etc.... I can't figure out why it simply will not just show up....

any help appreciated...

the conversation with myself continues.....

it seems the phrases didn't get installed properly by the install script....

does anyone have a list of the phrases, perhaps i could install them manually....

ok actually maybe they are installed..... but they can't read from .... or soemthing

man this hack needs updated....

I have the same error as you Dolamite, but I don't understand installing hacks very well I am new to this so I need simply instructions to fix it *blush*...

what i can't understand is why the phrases aren't being read.... they are there in the hprase manager but anything related to this hack which uses a phrase is just blank....

i just ran all the queries listed for upgrading.... just in case... still no luck...

i think i'm going to have to not use this hack..... anyone know of another quote hack that works with 3.0.7?

i could probably get a book on programming php.... read it.... write my own hack..... before this one gets updated :P

j/k but it is rather frustrating.... i've been at this most of an entire day....will soembody please...... save me....

I have it working fine on 3.0.7

Try editing a phrase then saving it. You dont have to make changes.

i did that for a few... and does seem that it might work... however searching for some of them has no results....i'm not even sure they are phrases i guess.... a complete list of them all would be nice

$randomquote[author]
$randomquote[quote]

neither of those produced a result when searching for phrases.....

did a complete re-install of this hack.... and did the manual editing as you suggested.... and its working.....

i am still having trouble getting $showrandomquote to work inside the navbar template though... if anyone has thoughts on that....

and sorry for .... spammin....this thread to death...

ok, i waited for something like a week to see if my quoteit will start working and whatnot on my forum, plus i was adding a few quotes of mine into the db via my forum.

problem: the quotes ain't changing everyday, or at all for that matter.

missing a cron job or what? if so, it's not in the zip and i dont know how to write cron jobs. please let me know how to fix this minor problem. :P

ok i got it.... for anyone else who might want to do this....

below require_once('./global.php');(in your portal.php, adv_index.php whatever)

add:

[QUOTE] // ### QUOTEIT ################################################## #######
if ($vboptions['showquote'])
{
$result_quote = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM quotes WHERE approved=1 ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1
");

while ($quote = $DB_site->fetch_Array($result_quote)) {
$randomquote[quoteid] = $quote[quoteid];
$randomquote[quote] = $quotethat last bit is what finally did it for me:

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
