RE:one small problem

Thanks for your comments. I'll see if I can come up with something
(plugin) soon. Your username has been changed

One small problem solved..!! (sort of)

Hi, I have an update to above point (c) Re: text not showing smaller - I've finally been able to reduce the size of the text by choosing the smallest size possible (8pt) - the 10 pt doesn't make any difference but the 8 works....not sure if its just a problem on my system / setup (Yootheme template...), but anyway it's working & so I hope this information helps anyone else with the same problem. Cheers, KB.

Small problems when using the component page display option

Hi, first let me start by saying what a great product RQuotes is, and so much more useful than just merely for random quotes too (we also use it for rotating our "BIS Tips" - random tips, but I can see it having many more uses, including random testimonials, featuring random downloads, random product/product of the day etc etc.). Simply brilliant and seems to be solid too.

Now for the wish-list!!....
- The component displaying all the random quotes option - I agree with another post in this forum that a plugin would be great/better, as it would give much more flexibility, however if not then there are a few minor problems with using the alternative option (component page):

(a) The text description - I cannot use it at all as the text it displays is gigantic (H1) text, & the same size as the page header text.......This is a problem for us as I need to be able to suggest that readers can submit their tips & provide details of where to submit them (I've had to put it into a module at the top of the page instead for now, which prevents me placing a banner ad there). There appears to be no way of adjusting the CSS either (I found a CSS file but it didn't appear to have this in it)

(b) The component page has no pagination.....I only have 6 tips displayed so far (& only 4 lines of text each), but already the page is getting very long....

(c) Text sizes don't seem to work: Not as important as the other points above but I've noticed that if I make the text smaller (I'm using the component database files option, not text files) it makes no difference - text still displays same size.

And lastly, this has nothing to do with the component but your registration - if possible could you please change my username for me!! please, as I seem to be unable to change it - I assumed the "nickname" would be the name which was visible, not my full name -( might I suggest it might be helpful to insert some hints or some information on your sign-up process? ) - Cheers

Thanks again for the wonderful program.
Kind regards.

Great forum here

I love forum vey professional and clean. i live in the us well philly to be exact just wanted to drop and see how everyone is and what not.

You need to give more information. Are you using the component or module and what exactly are you trying to do. What options have you chosen etc.

Re: Rquotes Module in Content - easy

Quote by Quang Dinh:Thanks for your quick response,

I tried again with following steps and be able to see the quote
- create an article with above contents
- in main menu, create an article that links to rquote module.
- I saw the link for this article is index.php?option=com_rquotes&view=all

With the above steps, I only see the first or number of subsequence quotes (based on the setting) but not on the particular day of the year. However, since I have 365 quotes for the whole year in the database and I would like to display each of them daily based on the day of the year.

If I manually set the rquote in the "extensions" --> "module setting" and select "daily" display, I see the quote on the day of the year (ie: Feb 7, 2010 for today).

Regards

I'm glad it worked out for you. I am working on a new version for 1.6 that will include an option to display quotes on a given date.

Re: Rquotes Module in Content - easy

Quote by Quang Dinh:Thank you very much for the tool and tips.

However, Is it possible to have an link to daily quote? (ie: not always show up on the front page)

I tried create an article with body text is
{loadposition content1}
and do not put in the front page.

I create an internal link on my menu to link to this newly article. It shows nothing whenever I click on this link.

Can you help?

Thanks

Thanks for using RQuotes
The answer to your question is
YES
I tried using a menu item to link to the article ( module) not on the front page and it works for me. I suggest you try again. If you can't get it to work try it on the front page and go from there.
If you need more help post more info here
