When creating new quote I get the following fields: Title , Quote , Author , Citation
I find it confusioning.. I am not sure I understand the difference between quote and cication

Is it possible somehow to disable the need of title and cication and to
use only quote and author (maybe the title can be first few words from the quote)

Thanks

The title is optional. You can, as some others do, use the Auto Node Title module. The Author and Citation fields are also optional. The only thing that is required is the Quote itself.

I would be open to changing the explanatory text if you would like to propose some changes.

If you want to hide, for example, the Citation field, you can change your CSS to something like this:

#edit-quotes-citation-wrapper {
  display: none;
}

Thanks..

I hide the citation and I tried the Auto Node Title module

I wish to "auto" generate the title from the quote text (say 10-15 first words of the quote)
so it will list nicely in the tracker table and will be easy to manage in the admin content page

I checked the token module and tried to add PHP code in the "auto node title" form
but couldn't make it work..

Can you advice?

I don't use auto node title, so I don't know much about it. One thing to watch for, though, is that I am going to change the way the nodes are imported in the 6.x version, so this may have an impact on any code you create. Hopefully the new method will actually make it easier to use things like this.

As I understand it, the Citation is a note on where the quote has come from. The Quote is the actual content being quoted.

Here's a link to the Auto Node Title module mentioned above: http://drupal.org/project/auto_nodetitle.

I think the confusion has been resolved so I'm going to mark it closed. I'm also changing the name in hopes that it will be easier for other to find in the future by those who need similar assistance.

Yes, that is what "citation" means (as in <cite> tag).

You can certainly suggest better wording for the descriptions in the form.
