Random Anything Module

It is a very simple and lightweight module to display quotes, tips or any kind of random information. No database table needed or created.

On the backend there are 2 text areas to fill. One for the quotes,tips or whatever text you want to display randomly and the the other one for the CSS to format the text you are displaying. (CSS box is optional)

Module displays each row from your text as a single quote. Use NOTEPAD to create your rows.

There is a sample text and CSS code in the zip folder. This is a simple brain teaser.

This module doesn't work in 1.7, which is a shame because it sounds like exactly what I need.

I used this to implement a random testimonial feature for my client and it works perfectly. It's also very easy to configure.

Tips:
1. You can put html in the textarea where it asks you to put in the text you want to rotate, so you can assign divs with classes, ids etc.

2. Use Notepad to create your lines of text and leave no spaces between rows, otherwise nothing will show up sometimes because it reads the empty rows as text that you wish to rotate.

This module worked perfect for me. I wanted to display a random video out of a group that I wanted to control. Using the AllVideoReloaded Plug-In and the RandomAnything Module, I got exactly what I wanted.

For a long time I was looking for something to put the teachings of the seers. I had more than 500 sanskrit verses translated and was in no mood to make 500 odd article pages in Joomla. Other modules somehow wanted all sorts of tricks to be done. This worked out of the box. Very simple and very straight and yes, the notepad copy-paste did the entire job in minutes!
