ok by some stroke of something, the quoter I installed magically appeared and started working! I'm so happy! I have a couple questions about it though. In the cp it asks about average threshold? What does that mean? I left both of those numbers at 0 until I find out what to do from here. Also, the quoter is under my shoutbox, is there a way to bring it higher up on the forum index, like maybe under the banner or something? And last question (for now), i there any way to remove the bars and box that surround the quot itself, so that it's just the text on the screen instead of a box? Like the words are floating (sort of)? Thanks! If you would like to take a look check it out at www.theneighborhoodpub.com

The average and total threshold are the minimum average and total rating that a quote must have to show up as the random quote. To move the random quote, just move the $showrandomquote variable in your FORUMHOME template. If you want it to look different, you have to edit the quote_randomquote template.

thank you for your response. I embarrassingly admit that I have no clue how to change templates or any of the like. I only find the text specified and then paste whatever text is required lol. I don't venture on my own in the templates at all simply because I have no clue. What specifically would I need to edit or delete to make the quoter look like I want?

Well $randomquote[quote] contains the quote and $randomquote[author] contains the author, so you could use just those two things. I suggest you find an HTML tutorial somewhere on the Internet and then you can adjust it better.

For this being my very first hack I installed all on my own, it worked great!!!

I even managed to make the quoter visible to only certain usergroups and in one specific forum as well.

THANK YOU!!!

I'm itching to install this. Any idea when it might be ported to 3.6.4?

just install it, it'll work

According to the Cap'n himself, it only works on 3.6 if you installed it on 3.5 before upgrading (see the previous page...)

That's just what I've heard. I don't have 3.6 installed anywhere yet.

I installed it on 3.6.2 and t's working beautifully for me. I do have a question about moderating quotes. How do you do it? I don't understand what the threshold and average threshold are and how to set them, I don't know how to moderate the quotes in that is there a que somewhere that I can view to decide what gets used and what doesn't? Sorry to sound so lame, but can someone teach me how to use this LOL!

thanks!
