NP_RandomQuoteDB.php

The plugin is very simple: It creates a table in your database, where it stores the quotes you add via the plugin menu.

Just download the plugin, unzip into your Nucleus plugin folder and install it via the plugin menu.

Add the line <%plugin(RandomQuoteDB)%> somewhere in your skin.

Feed the database with some quotes. To make this easier, acivate the ”QuickMenu” Option in the plugin settings to get a quick menu.

You only add the line:

   <%plugin(RandomQuoteDB)%>

somewhere in your skin and voila: There you have your random quote displayed.

An example can be found in the upper left here: http://blog.salid.de/archives/69-Nucleus-Plugin-Random-Quote-DB.html

The plugin installs itself with the following options:

$this->createOption('quickmenu', 'Show in quick menu', 'yesno', 'yes');

This allows you to acvtivate the quickmenu, which makes it possible to quickly add a quote via the menubar.

It also creates a table with the following options:

sql_query('CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS ' . sql_table('plugin_randomquotedb') . '( rqdb_id INT(11) NOT NULL AUTO_INCREMENT, rqdb_quote LONGTEXT NOT NULL, rqdb_quoteby LONGTEXT, PRIMARY KEY(rqdb_id))');

Be careful when you uninstall the plugin: It drops the table with the comments!

• Currently the plugin is version 0.4, as there are some improvements to be done.
• Currently you can only add and delete quotes via a very rudimental interface.
• I'm going to clean it up and make it a bit nice in one of the next versions.
• Version 0.5 (planned) will match XHTML standard

If you have some suggestions on the plugin, drop me a line at mailto:salid@salid.de.
