Cache Issue when using random quote on page load

Hi, I have the rquote module on the homepage of a site and it's set to load a random quote everytime the page is reloaded. I have the cache plugin enabled and I've also turned on cache in Joomla global settings to speed up my site. Is there a way to have the rquote module not cache? I've seen a 'disable cache' option in other modules and was wondering if this is somehow possible in rquotes?

Re: Change quotes from 1 day to 7 days

Quote by billwide:May anyone help me?

I will try to help as soon as I can. In the interim are you talking about text files or from the DB rotating every 7 days??
It will be included as a feature in the next release which should be soon (I hope)

Re: New Quotes at the Top of the Component

Quote by iamrobert:How Can I make it so the latest quotes go to the top of the component and not at the bottom?

For instance when I add a new quote on:
http://www.taiwanbiking.com/about-us/testimonials.html

It lists the quote at the bottom of the category not at the top.

Thanks,

Robert

Thank you for your question. Hope this helps.

Go to components /com_rquotes /models/all.php

You can try changing the query on line 30 from

$query = "SELECT * FROM #__rquotes WHERE published = '1' AND category='$results' LIMIT $limit " ;
to
$query = "SELECT * FROM #__rquotes WHERE published = '1' AND category='$results' ORDER BY id DESC LIMIT $limit " ;

In the next version I will try to include this as a param. In the interim try this change. Please let me know if it works for you

re:The db quotes are not loading.

Quote by omojesu:This problem is still pertinent. The db quotes are not loading.

Apart from the db not loading the quote in the frontend module, the listed quote is unpublishing itself which means when you add a quote in the component for the category, it is unpublishing itself even if you select publish and save.

In addition, the quote title does not display even when the txt quote which works unlike the db quote is selected.

My thought was that the latest version fixed all the known bug, but that does not appear to be so.

This extension is definitely bery promising if all known bug can be addressed and fixed.

kudos to the developer for being very open to all the various complaints and taken appropriate action to fix. Please check the latest version and see if there is a fix.


I will try to answer your concerns as best I can.

1. are you referring to the component front end or the module.I need more info
2. The quote unpublishing itself has been addressed in the forum but here it is again.

changes to keep published state as is after editing a quote

file:: administrator/components/com_rquotes/controller.php Change line 53 as follows .$row->published to ,$row->published. this allowes published state to be saved as is when editing quotes.

This change will be written into next version of the component. I have been very busy lately but will release a new version end of summer or sooner.

3. There is no quote title param in the textfile option.

If you will explain in more detail the problems you're having I will try to help.
Please e-mail me with the details

Change quotes from 1 day to 7 days

How can I change the module quotes to show a quote every 7 days?

What file I need to change?!?

Re: Quotation marks in Manage Categories

Had a similar issue today when I installed. I had a category called: Bishop's Quotes, and I was surprised to see that I couldn't get quotes to show on the page using the DB, but I could from a text file.

I re-named the Category: Bishops Quotes and it fixed the issue. Just something to look into for next release.

Also, it seems that the rquotes table stores category as a name instead of an ID link to the category name. While this seems fine for basic use, if you have to do something like rename a category (heh), this is a problem. Once I renamed my category to Bishops Quotes all of the quotes in the DB had the category name Bishop's Quotes in them still and the references were broken. Changing a few queries around to store the category as an ID and reference it as such would make this much more user-friendly... luckily I only had 3 test quotes in while I was trouble-shooting.

All that said, love the module, thanks a bunch.

Re: remove sign

Hi Thank you for your interest in r-quotes. There is a parameter in the module to include or not the ""

Re:category

Have you installed the module and published it?

Re: installation

Sorry it took so long to answer. You just need to install the component and module as is from the admin menu. You do not unpack it first. Joomla will take care of that for you. Good luck Kevin

RE:when quote change

Thanks for your comments'
The daily quote will change when your server day changes.

Where is my quote category?

Hello all,
I have created new category, I have created 3 quotes - and none of it can be found i my website structure - or category, nor quotes. What's wrong?
Thank you,
PZ

Never Mind

I figured it out, I had to make a menu adjustment.

Parameters not setting

I'm running Joomla 1.9 and Rquotes 1.5.1 and while the quotes are "doing fine" when I set the parameters to set the title, description and number of quotes to display, they don't "take" I still get:

Rquotes
Type the text to appear after the page title

At the top of the page.

When I go back and look at the parameters, they are changed, its just like the page isn't displaying them. For an example see:

http://www.modernheathen.com/index.php?option=com_rquotes&view=all&Itemid=104

RE:encoding

I am not too familiar with encoding. Possibly some one out there can help you. Sorry for the delay in answering your post

What time does the daily quote change?

Hi Kevin,

Thanks for this module. I've installed it today and I've been setting it up.

I was showing my site to my partner and the daily quote was blank. This confused me since I knew I had just entered one. It seems that it had moved on from quote 1 to quote 2 while I was showing the site since when I entered a second quote it showed.

Does the daily quote changes at midnight CST USA? Inoticed that it had just gone over this time in the USA although I'm based in Australia.

If that is the case can you point me to the file & code where I could change it for Australian time zones? Not sure if it's getting the time from a server or somewhere else.

I know that's a fairly small thing since everything else works so well!

Thanks,
Karen
