also you`ve changed the name of the function for view to list, but not changed the link in the html in the upgrade instructions.

Yep. Beat ya to it.

*L* Just noticed that now.. thought I was being quick with my fixes.. apparently not but I do have one you haven`t spotted *g*

You missed two templates from the global templates array.. it should be:

$globaltemplates = array(
	'quote_addquote',
	'quote_delquote',
	'quote_listquote',
	'quotelistbit'
);

Damn you! j/k

Ok, I updated the .ZIP file.. good looking out, thanks.

You'll need to edit the randomquote, quote_listquote and quotelistbit templates.

That's why it's crapping out.

That fixed it!
Thank you. It's a great hack.

Any chance in a future version of adding an option in the user control panel to allow users to turn off the quotes for themselves.

Also maybe an approval system so admins have to approve the quote before its viewabale.

A nice addition for a future version would be categories for quotes and the ability to show them only one day of the week or so.

Actually, I just completed the approval section. Whether I wait until v2.0, or I release v1.2. I'll have to see.

As for the user toggle, sure, I could add that. Consider it done.

Hrm.. I'll consider categories, we'll see.

As for when to display, do you mean it displays 1 quote per day/week/month rather than randomly changing every refresh?

[gmarik]

Categorys would be awesome!

Thanks for this hack! Works great on a friends board, I modified it to take quotes from this website which provides RSS feeds of quotes. I developed an importer which takes the feeds and puts them into a database for this hack, I might release it as an addon. Doesn't seem stable as there is no interface for it pure backend.

This hack seems to be working fine, and is an asset since I had this incorporated on the main portal page.

Regards & Nice job!
