Quotes

jhriggs - October 22, 2003 - 09:20

The quotes module allows users to maintain a list of quotations that they find notable, humorous, famous, infamous, or otherwise worthy of sharing with website visitors. Quotes are stored as nodes, and users with the appropriate permissions can maintain their own list of quotes much like maintaining their own blog.

Administrators can define one or more quote blocks to display either the latest quote or a random quote matching certain criteria. The quotes displayed in each block can be filtered by role, user, node, or category.

Support for Views is included.

Important Note For Drupal 6 Users

The first cut at 6.x support has been committed. Please consider it definitely "alpha" status and in need of further testing.

A change to the menu system means this module requires 6.2 or higher. It will not work correctly on 6.0 or 6.1.

Migrating from 5.x version

  • The 6.x version is based upon the 5.x-1.2 version, so all changes before that release are incorporated. To upgrade from pre-5-x-1.2 versions of the module, you will need the 6.x-1.x-alpha2 version or higher.
  • Due to changes in the core menu system, if you request quotes for a user that does not exist (quotes/99), you will get a "Page Not Found."
  • If you request quotes for a user that has no quotes, you will get a line that says "No quotes found."
  • There is no longer a separate "Import" tab on creating quotes. Instead there is a set of radio buttons if one has permission to import. This will change in the -beta1 version.

Translation

I run the translation extractor when I update the module, so if someone wants to provide translations, the template is available. Please open a feature request with the translation (.po) module attached.
