Hmm, I may give this a try instead of my current javascript solution for my header quotes..

 

[Neutral Singh]

yes, in fact, I use it on my website as rotating sub-headings as well!

Hey. Thank you for this addon. When I follow the exact steps, I get this -

Oops! We ran into some problems.
Line 13: Syntax error - Template name: public:_widget_quotes

Not sure why :/ Hope you can help. Thanks

public:_widget_quotes

Remove the : from your widget template name.

That character isn't in my widget title (or the key)

Change the last line to: {$quote.{{ rand(1,10)|raw}}}.

Change the 10 to match the number of quotes.
