Random Quotes Module
---------------------- NEW VERSION RELEASED! ---------------------- This module is now even better! Supports larger files and more quotes. New version released with inputs from CJ. There is also an option to either always rotate the quotes or keep them on for a whole day, useful for Quote of the Day! Enjoy. All bugs have been fixed too. ---------------------- A simple module to insert random quotes in Joomla. The job of inserting quotations is made easy as the quotes have to be inserted into a text file! Advantage of using a text file is that you need not insert each quote laboriously through the admin backend... Just type in, or cut and paste from elsewhere in one go and then this module will do the hardwork. The text file will reside inside the modules folder and will need manual editing, however. Get your copy today and try this out... Quotes ("") are optional. If you want the author's name, just enter like this: "Misquotations are the only quotations that are never misquoted" - Hesketh Pearson You can use any html tag within the lines! Other uses of this module! 1. Ad Rotator 2. Referral/Affiliate Link Rotator 3. Random News! 4. Anything you want to rotate, even images! Just use "img src" tags... PS: Our main site is http://www.joomlaspan.com . As our site had been unstable for sometime, we have also set up an alternate download location at: http://joomlaspan.googlepages.com . If you have any trouble reaching our site, you may want to use this.

Really useful module by bobwebb, August 8, 2007
Easy to install and does what it says.
I've added a param for the filename so I can have multiple instances which is the only thing it lacks in my opinion.

Thanks for the good work.


Thanks by cayo, April 27, 2007
simple step

download -- install -- activate on site module -- done.

less than 5 minutes, 2 minutes exactly.

the problem is only on downloading the file.
their website joomlaspan.com is awfull. no download link from this site. try their link/mirror page (from google).
10 minutes for searching the download page.

Thanks guys.


Cool Mod by junkyfungus, November 11, 2006
Well I'm hooked on Joomlaspan. This mod is pretty cool.

If you like quotes then this is perfect.

Couple of things though the quotes could use a name associated with who said them and more of a selection. I've seen the same qupte several times on my site now, but otherwise easy to use and apply.

Good job to Joomlaspan again.


Great for random ads by stephthegeek, October 14, 2006
Super simple and with limited options, but does what it says! I don't mind that it's in a text file, since it's easier to dump a bunch of code in a text file than work with it in a text field. I'm using it to randomly display an Amazon iframe ad and it works perfectly for that.


Nice start, but needs cleaning up. by rliskey, July 27, 2006
1 of 1 people find this review helpful:
Pros
====
Simple to setup

Follows reasonable Joomla coding and security guidelines.

You can choose to display one or multiple quotes.

You can choose random quotes for each page load or each day.

Deals correctly with blank lines in the text file.

Cons
====
Has an undocumented, hardcoded style tag.

Only works with text files. Would be good to add a db option.

Unable to parse authors, sources, etc.

If the quotes file is not found, the script will DIE(!) and send an error message to the browser! Very bad move for a non-critical module. Better to silently abort.

Has some nice params within the script that would be good to make available in the module admin view, such as the name of the quote file to use. That would make it easy to have multiple modules in different sections showing different quotes.

Overall. Good stuff. Just needs more work. I've hacked up my copy to fix some of the above. Will share when ready.


Basic Random Quotes by yabba dabba, April 20, 2006
No separate field for quote source.

Need to edit a text file on the server to change quotes.

Not ideal unless you are the site owner and admin and know your way around your site's file directory.

ALSO: getting an error:
Notice: Undefined variable: quotesLine in mod_randomquotes.php on line 21


Nice by koal1544, April 20, 2006
