Random Quotes from content items (mod_quotes)
With this module it is possible to show a random quote in a module position of your Joomla!-Template. The quote will be shown depending on the current content category or extracted from a content item you placed in a default category (e.g. 'quotes').

In order to be picked as a quote from the module, the content items need to have a title in the form of '!Zitat![Source/Author]' and the access level has to be set to 'Special' for the content item (this prevents the quotes from being searched by the internal search engine).

Replace [Source/Author] with the author or the source of the quote. And place in the intro text your quote.

mod_quotes does not need any additional text-files as do other quote-modules, and is very easy to use.

(of course it is also possible to 'missuse' this module for images, or any other content that can be presented in a content item)

Version 1.0.4 works now also together with JoomFish!

Nice little Module by sd12013, August 29, 2007
Works as advertised. After having a few issues with eQuotes and not being able to get rid of the quotation marks, I thought I'd give this one a try. Installed easily and after creating the section and category for the entries, it took me a few minutes to figure out that I had to note the Category ID# and go back to the module setup and enter it as the default ID. After that, worked like a charm! No issues at all.

This quote module is very good.

I prefer it over others because it has me enter the quotes in the backend; some may find this tedious, but I like that it allows much more flexibility in terms of what I can display with it on the frontend.

For example, if I want to change the font, font size, etc. or include an image of the quoted person; I can add or change anything that you can manipulate in your content editor.

This module can also be used for displaying other random content, so it has lots of potential.

Also, I want to commend the author for his prompt support: I had a problem incorporating this module with my particular set up; I contacted the author and within 20 minutes I had a response and a fix. Well done.
