There doesn't seem to be any way to share quotes or have public quotes. I've set up 3 quote blocks on the home page but they simply show "n/a" under the title, until I login.

Am I missing something in configuration or permissions?

I would like "anonymous users" to be able to see my quotes but not be able to post.

You have the version of this issue set to 4.4, but it sounds like you are using the 4.5 version of the quotes module. Can you please confirm your versions? Remember, you can only use a 4.4 module with Drupal 4.4 and a 4.5 module with Drupal 4.5.

If you are using version 4.5 of both, do you have cache support enabled on admin/settings?

Sorry, yes I'm using 4.5 version of both.

Have disabled cache and emptied the cache table but still no shared quotes.

are the quotes able to be viewed by all users or isn't this a feature yet?

The only permission users need is 'access content' which I assume they have. Did you upgrade from 4.4? If so, you need to create/configure a quote block using admin/quotes/add and admin/quotes/blocks. It may be that the block that is being seen is a remnant from 4.4.

If you are not upgrading, double-check any filters you may have set up on your quote block(s).

I didn't upgrade from 4.4. It is a clean install but I have also been toying with taxonomy_access.module (which patches taxonomy.module), node_privacy_byrole.module and various core updates from cvs so I guess I must have messed something in the process.

I did notice that under administer > blocks > quote block > configure there is a grouping titled "Block-specific settings" that only contains the word "Array", which I gather can't be right. Some, but not all, other module blocks have similar grouping.

Maybe I just need to start afresh ...

This statement tells me you are in fact using the CVS HEAD version of Drupal and not 4.5. The word Array is caused by this quotes.module bug... basically, quotes.module needs to be slightly upgraded to work with CVS HEAD.

Anyway, the problem you're having is an unrelated configuration issue. Possibly the node privacy module is interacting with quotes.module is a negative way?

I've been having the same problem. Logged in users see the random quote block, anonymous users don't.

I just figured out that it has to do with using an alternative front page, and trying to restrict my quote block to the front page. Currently the block is restricted to the path ^node/3 removed angle brackets to stop them getting stripped).

If I went to watchwords.co.uk/index.php then I got no quotes.
But if I went to watchwords.co.uk/node/3 I saw quotes even as an anonymous user.

So this is a configuration issue, in admin/block I had the path regex set to ^node/3, by changing it too ^node/3|index.php I can now get the block to appear to all users. (don't forget to add those angle brackets back the regex).

The above links are now both working. I hope this helps brianh!
