I have been exploring issues and docs to learn the import process, and found a text link on the instructions for node/add/quotes going to node/add/quotes/import - it would be nice if this were a tab similar to "export" - just a thought.

Thanks for an interesting module.

feature requests will be incorporated into 7.x then backported. In some of the very early versions of quotes the import function was easy to find (at least for admins, never tried it as a user). The message was added to help but agree a tabbed UI would solve the issue.

Understood, thanks.

In D5, this was the case, but it didn't translate to D6 because of changes to the node.module. I don't know if D7 has resolved that problem, but I doubt it.

I don't see how to do a fortune style import. I have the file, have set permissions but am looking for an "import now" button or some widget. What should I be looking for? D7 up to date

On the quotes add page you will find what your looking for is directly under the body insertion block. you have 3 choices.

  • Single - "Default for inserting a single quote"
  • Tab - "For Tab delimited import file"
  • Fortune - For Importing fortune files:

Partially implemented in new dev release. Tab is present and working, still some page title display issues to work out along with a better preview of the import.
