- Insanely customizable, you can add any quote or joke in under a minute!
- Uses MySQL to cycle through quotes, no extra dependencies or CSS to install.

2. Upload admincp/quotes.php and includes/xml/cpnav-rand_quote.xml.
3. Import product-rand_quote.xml.
4. You can configure it by going to AdminCP > vBOptions > Quote Database
5. The management page can be found in the Quote Database dropdown above "Styles & Templates."
6. All done!

If you have customized your FORUMHOME template, look for:

<!-- main -->

and add right above it: $quote_manual_template

Changelog

I've updated to v1.1 for the bugfix release for this bug above. There was a malformed conditional statement in the automatic template editor. Please upgrade.

I'd like that option as well.

Great add-on either way!

Hi sheppardzwc,

This is a very good mod, I installed it and it's useful.

I have one suggestion :
- to add a new feature that can import from xls or txt file a list, instead of entering one by one.
since I have a big list and I can copy it to excel for example or text file.

Can you do it please ?

Thanks,,

Hi,

1. Can you please upgrade it to vb4.0 ?
2. Can you make (Adding Quotes) available to users (based on usergroup permissions) (not only adding quote using ACP)
And we can choose for usergroups if their additions will be under moderation ?

It's very needed.

Thanks,,

[aaa007]

would i be able to place the quote any where i want? or does it have to be at the top?
