I installed the quote module, enabled, added a quote block and enabled, created quote content.
I don't see the quote in the block on the right NAV, top.
I don't know why I can't see it. I have no filters enabled.

can anyone help?

thanks.

Are your quotes published?
I found that if I didn't check the box for published the quotes will not show in the block and if no quotes show up in the block the block itself will not be seen.

the quote is published. I checked the box.
it should appear in the top right NAV.
I don't see the quote.

did I miss any other step.
or, maybe this is a bug with the quotes module in 4.6.4?

any help appreciated.

I guess I don't understand the quote module because I am unable to get the quote to display in the quote block on right, TOP NAV.
I've enabled the quote block, created content(quote), and checked the box 'display in quote block', and checked the 'publish'.
but, the quote refuses to display in the quote block.
am I missing a step? I've read all the instructions that are there.

can anyone help me?

thanks.

Can't see any other things. Do you have a category for them?
And you haven't by mistake misspelled the page where you want the block to show? I mean when configurated the block?

I know I'm missing a step or something.
I can see the quote in the quote block when I'm in the edit page of the quote.
after leaving that content page, I can't see the quote anymore in quote block.

here's my quote category:
Learn More About Us personal blog entry, quote, video, weblink
.
Inspiring Quotes (edit term) [for quotes in quote block]

here's the quote block:
Right sidebar
Quotes: Daily Reflection
enabled
right -10

I know something I've done has put the quote block and quote content page out of sync, but i don't know what.

anyone can help me?

Did you turn on the filter?

I didn't turn on any filter for quote module.
here's what I have there:

========
Role filter:
admin (but I can't change this, it's default)

To restrict this block to display only quotes submitted by users in specific roles, select the roles here.
site-editor (I have to select one).
========
here's the block page:
Right sidebar
Quotes: Daily Reflection
right -10
========

any other ideas, anyone.

I really want to get this working. seems intuitive but it's not working.

help...

I got the quote module working and found the snag.
I had the 'quotes' block configured to 'Restrict block to specific content types' and that means if you check the box, it will only appear on that content type. duhhh... not real intuitive but read the small print.

thanks to all for your help and pointers!

Hi,

I just installed quote modul and it works fine. But I would like to remove the default "reply" button.

Any idea?
