Add a random quote block to the sidebar 1.0

[Paul B]

Brogan submitted a new resource:

Add a random quote block to the sidebar (version 1.0) - Q: What do you get if you cross random, quote, block and sidebar? A: This.

This was requested in this thread and originally comes from a portal block done by Xarcell.
All I have done is explain for those without the portal how to add it to the sidebar.


Step 1: Unzip and upload the attached file to your /data directory so it shows as /data/RandomQuote


Step 2: Paste this in PAGE_CONTAINER just before </head>

<script type="text/javascript" charset="utf-8">...

YESS!!! It works and it's beautiful! http://mahoningvalleytalk.com/mvt/

Thanks so much Brogan!

The css isn't being applied Peggy, possibly something to do with the Flexile theme.

 

[Peggy]

What css isn't being applied?

Brogan to the rescue!

Check it in your default template if it's working there then should be something to do with flexile.

Check the screenshot in the first post, it should look like that.

Check the screenshot in the first post, it should look like that.

But it should look like this(just ignore the arrow.)

 

[Peggy]

It does look like that except I put it up above my shoutbox, and it's missing the header.

For header Brogan added the fix.

edit: okey....

 

[ArnyVee]

Do you have a picture?

Of the random quote as a demo? Check the first post of the thread.

 

[iTuN3r]

Do you have a picture?

Check post #9 or first post also has screenshot added.

I updated the first post with alternative code if you want a title.

That doesn't give me the same header as the other modules on the sidebar tho.

I'll work with it and find it. Thanks so much for your help Brogan!

If you find out from Erik what changes need to be made to get it to work in Flexile, I'll update the first post.
I'm not familiar with that style at all, although maybe I need to install it so I can provide support...

 

[iTuN3r]

let me try installing this and see if i can find some fix for it.

Hey Brogan, I added the updated code above to my default style and this is what it looks like -


It doesn't have the header like the Staff Online Now block does. That's what I'm trying to get, the same look.

Hey peggy i have no issue here on my side everything is working properly i just installed it and looks fine here.

Did you update the random_quote template code with the alternative code in the first post?
