Quotes Module Question
t-wins - August 8, 2009 - 18:02
Hello,
I am trying to create 2 categories of quotes using the Quotes module. One category of the quotes will show up on the home page only in the left sidebar while the other category of quotes will show up on all pages in a separate box in the left sidebar.
So, I created 2 quotes blocks and assign both of them in the left sidebar. When I create quotes pages, I don't see the option that allows me to assign the quote to which quotes block. Am I missing something?
Thanks!

you can't arbitrailily assign nodes to blocks without using something like the veiws.module to build your blocks and filtering out the content you want in that view.
Using Drupal 5.10, I did
Using Drupal 5.10, I did exactly this at http://www.parramoreworks.com. In the upper right just below the header picture is a "slogan" block and in the left sidebar is the "Random Observations" block. In order to achieve this I set up a vocabulary called "Random Quotes", configured it to use only the "Quotes" content type and assigned 2 terms to the vocabulary: Quote and Slogan.
When you create a new quote, the vocabulary you configured to use with quotes will show up and allow you to select which term the quotes will go into.
Hope this helps.
