Topic: Quotable Quotes

i'm currently working on a Quotable Quote extension

Currently the basis is created for an admin interface and the display part is ready ...

so what would you guys like to see in it?

Currently the idea is simply replace the <!-- forum_qq --> part in the template by a display of an random QQ from the db and of course an admin interface for it smile

Any config vars required? Anything else on the wishlist?

Re: Quotable Quotes

very nice! look forward to trying it !

this lends itself very well to promotion use aswell
instead of quote x
you have information on how to do things

like a DID YOU KNOW  thing so that users know better how to use site!

this is brilliant!

Re: Quotable Quotes

Get this after installation when I click on QQ in admin menu

Database reported: Table '*****_qq' doesn't exist (Errno: 1146).

Re: Quotable Quotes

Cool. Added a quote.

Now question: How do I turn it "on" - i.e. to show on front page or where will it show?

Thx!

Re: Quotable Quotes

ah you have to add <!-- forum_qq --> to the template (main.tpl) at the position you want it to show smile

Re: Quotable Quotes

good big_smile

yeah, in a while

excellent. noticed at the mom if I uninstall all the quotes are gone - when just upgrading that is a bit frustrating. it all always disappears right?

new question: assuming I want a set running at the top and a different set running at the bottom
is that hard to implement for you?
then it would also be good if one could set ON/OFF in the actual set of quotes - at the moment if I want them to go away I have to uninstall and loose all right?

thanks again for great tool though big_smile

Re: Quotable Quotes

Version v1.1. <-- says that in my installation
BUT
only one set of quotes  EDIT 2: or will the quotes just be used from the ONE set and alternatively show when I put different qq's in main.tpl?
EDIT: ah , settings start is where to enable disable... that's already clearing smile

cool stuff. getting better and better big_smile
