Re: i cant see Rquotes in main page

Quote by persianDev:hi
i have installed Rquotes and made quote with daily order set to 1 , but i cant see this in main page.
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

Re: Rquotes changes daily quotes on Server time, but not on locale.

You can try this!!!
Edit helper.php in the module as follows.

Find line # 13 that says

defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');

add the following line after it

date_default_timezone_set("Asia/Calcutta");
This should set the timezone for the module.

If it is not the correct timezone you can change Asia/Calcutta to what you need.

Ps let me know if this works or you need more help.
Thanks
Kevin

Re: Module Class Suffix Display Problem

Quote by torenewa:I haven't made any changes to the Module Class Suffix.

The Template I'm using is Opal from Joomla Arts. Is there any history of conflicts with their templates?

Also, I want to make sure I did the installation correctly:

1. Installed Component
2. Installed Module
3. Entered quotes in Component & published
4. Set Quote Source to DB
5. Published module in left or right position

Did I miss something?

I don't know much about templates. As far as installation goes. Have you created a category for your quotes?

Re: Is it possible to make it fetch quotes sequential instead of random?

Quote by bongobongo:Hi.

RQuotes is cool, but I miss one feature:

Has anyone changed it so it can show quotes in a sequential order instead of random?

If not, some information on how this could be done would be very interesting.

I'm using a module to display the quotes.

Regards

I will see what I can do in the next version of the module.Right now you can show daily quotes by using the daily# to show in any order you like.
Kevin

Re: Saving published state of quotes after editing

Quote by bongobongo:Code

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. 

 

Hi.

I downloaded and installed Rquotes today.
Looks like this change has not been implemented.

Looks like this is an ultra tiny change to make.
Could you please make the changes and make some new zip-files?

Regards

You have your wish. Please download version 1.5.2 of the Component. This contains the change you requested. All else is the same as version 1.5.1 Sorry for the delay in releasing a new version but hope it will be soon
Kevin

Re: Rquotes daily quote not showing up

Quote by JH:Hi Kevin,
I installed Joomla latest version on a localhost and fixed almost everything I want it to do. Installed also rq-com 1.5.1 and mod 1.5rc4. I also put some few hundred quote into the database and had it testing for a few day with random quotes on page-load. But because I want to use it with daily quotes, I changed the option from page to daily. From that moment on the quotes don't show up any longer. I did not configure numbers on the files, so they are all zero, because I want to have it randomly.
I hope you can help me solve the problem.

Maybe you can also use this suggestion ...
It would be nice if I will be able to create categories that can be enabled on choice. So that quotes will be picked randomly from an apointed choice of categories.

Kind regards,
JH.

Hello,
In order to show daily quotes you need to give each quote a Daily #. Then the quotes will show up one each day in the order of the Daily #'s. You can not display random daily quotes as of now.
Hope this is some help
Kevin

Re: Module Class Suffix Display Problem

Quote by torenewa:I'm brand new to this terrific component and ran into an interesting problem.

If I leave the module class suffix box blank, my quotes won't load, but if I type "light" into the box, they do. I have the module set to the Database.

What am I doing wrong?

That is very strange. Have you done anything with module class suffix in the past that might be affecting the rquotes module (modified the template css files etc.).

Re: Rquotes Module in Content - easy

Quote by hmd_mike:I thought I would share this as it took me a while to work out!

Most templates won't have a position, by default, for adding a module, like RQuotes (excellent Module - Kevin many thanks!) to content.
But it is dead easy to do

Install the RQuotes Component & Module
Go to Extensions | Module Manager
find the RQuotes Module & Enable it
in the section for position, ignore the drop down options & just type a new position name in the box
say
content1
save
Then write an article - publish it where you want - say Front Page
in the article text add
{loadposition content1}
with the curly braces
and your RQuotes module will magically appear in the article on front page

Mike

Thank You very much for the information. I tried it and it works exactly as you say. This will be very helpful to a lot of people. Thanks again
KEVIN
