Random Quote Hack · **Released**: 05-01-2002

If anyone else has hacked this, I could not find it, so here I post.

This is my first hack. Simple one. Took 5 minutes to create. Designed for vB 2.2.5 but may work on other versions too. Requires MySQL so if you're a high end vB'er that is using another db, you'll have to modify this to your highly customized situation.

The hack creates a new table (unpopulated) and randomly selects one quote from the table everytime the page loads. It displays on the home page immediately above the forums.

Demonstration can be seen at (not online anymore)

Good luck

Ah well. His is a bit better, it would seem with integrated means to add quotes whereas you're on your own with mine. Valiant effort on my part anyways.

Hmm, Sketch, you're not supposed to remove the copyright-notice from the footer. It is clearly stated with comments surrounding it.

Sparkz,

I did not look into the original footer in depth, I just copied my footer from my other board straight over. Ctrl-A/Ctrl-V without much attention given. Now that I look at the original, you're right and I have corrected that. Thanks.
