I have a random quote plugin to throw into the fray. It’s getting pretty popular now, thanks to everyone who uses it and says it doesn’t suck 
Features
- It uses the database to store quotes, not a text file.
- It has a spiffy administrative interface (screenshot).
- You can call up a random quote, or a specific quote in your pages
- New: You can make a page with all your quotes.
- You can turn certain quotes “off,” without actually deleting them
- The quote layouts are done with CSS, so you can stick them anywhere and style them yourself (or follow my instructions below)
Installation Instructions
- Download the latest version (1.3) here.
- Get all the files out of the archive
- Copy the file wp-quotes.php to your wp-content/plugins/ directory
- Copy the file edit-quotes.php to your wp-admin/ directory
- Go to the Plugins section of your WordPress admin, and activate the plugin
- Go to the Manage section, and click on “Quotes.” It will create the database and add a few quotes to get you started.
- This part might be tricky. You have to decide where to stick your quotes, and modify the theme file to do it. Here’s an example for putting the quote in the sidebar like you see on this site:
- In your admin interface, go to the Presentation tab, then click on Theme Editor
- Click on the Sidebar Template link on the right hand side.
- Find out where you want to stick your quotes in the code, create a heading for it, then insert the following:
<?php wp_quotes_random(); ?>
API
wp_quotes_random();: Displays a random quote, in a div with classes as indicated in the installation instructionswp_quotes($id);: Displays a specific quote by quote ID. Useful if you want to embed a quote in a page, maybe?<!--wp_quotes_page-->: Putting this in any post or page entry will spew the entire list of quotes in your database
Of course, you can customize everything about this through CSS. Here’s the classes and IDs to use:
CSS Customization
- The Random Quotes
- The quote is identified and enclosed by a div, CSS element id wp_quotes.
- The actual quote is in a div, of the class wp_quotes_quote.
- The author is in a div, of the class wp_quotes_author.
- The Quotes Page (example)
- The quote is identified and enclosed by a div, class wp_quotepage.
- The actual quote is in a div, of the class wp_quotepage_quote.
- The author is in a div, of the class wp_quotepage_author.
- The horizontal rules are of the class wp_quotepage_hr. You can turn it off by setting
display: nonein the CSS. - The Powered By blurb is a div, of the class wpquotes_poweredby. I’d like you to leave it, but hey, I understand, so you can make it disappear just like the hr above.
The CSS I use on this site
#wp_quotes
{
margin-left: -10px;
}
#wp_quotes div.wp_quotes_quote
{
}
#wp_quotes div.wp_quotes_author
{
text-align:right;
font-style: italic;
margin-top: 5px;
}
div.wp_quotepage
{
font-size: 14px;
width: 80%;
margin-left: 40px;
}
div.wp_quotepage_quote
{
}
div.wp_quotepage_author
{
margin-left: 40px;
font-style: italic;
}
hr.wp_quotepage_hr
{
width: 70%;
margin-top: 15px;
margin-bottom: 15px;
margin-left: 15px;
}
div.wpquotes_poweredby
{
text-align: center;
font-size: 0.8em;
margin-top: 12px;
}

[…] Here is a random quote plugin that let’s you manage the plugins yourself. […]
I get undefined function error. Where is the function ‘…random()’ supposed to be defined?
It’s defined in the wp-quotes.php file. Make sure you’ve activated the plugin on your plugins page. And make sure it’s wp_quotes_random().
If it’s still not working, let me know, maybe I can help you out more.
Works great! Thanks!!
I use it for now on a testsite, because i have to add 100 more quotes
I think there is a problem with the CSS, i added it to my theme-css, but it dont come up with the classes..,i will check it tomorrow.
it’s not working for me either. this shows up on my page:
It’s activated
Try removing the spaces from the tag code.
ie…
Use this instead
For some reason when exectuted the tag with the spaces fails to produce. It works once the spaces are removed. : )
Hey –
You’re absolutely right. There should be no space between the < and the ?. It should be <?. I’ve corrected the instructions, thanks for pointing this out.
I just started using Word Press. This was so easy to install & to start using. Thank you for a great plug-in
Thanks
I am using this on my site right now
http://www.thegoogleblog.com
I may be putting my quote list up for download in SQL and/or CSV format later this week (by 8/7 most likely). I’ve got a lot of requests for this, so people can start off with more than nothing. I’ll let you all know when that’s available and ready. I might create another plugin out of it.
OK great plugin, except I have a problem using it on my online blog.
Here is the background. One a WP blog set up offline on my home box it works OK. The blog is WP ver 1.5.1.2
My online blog is WP ver 1.5.1.3. The plugin activates and the table is in the data base as advertised. When I go to the manage > quotes screen it shows the “add quote” section empty. The title is there but no display of a text box or other options as my offline blog has.
Below that is the “manage quotes” section and obviously because no quotes are added as yet it just says “You haven’t entered any quotes yet.”
Is it possible the “Admin Tiger” (www.orderedlist.com) CSS I use for the admin section of the online blog is causing it? If so it would be the first time it has caused a problem and I use a very long list of plugins.
As I said I use a long list of plugins and if one of those is causing the problem it might be easier if you check this page rather than listing them here.
http://cranialcavity.net/fullthrottle/wp/index.php/comment-policy/wordpress-plugins-utilized/
Thanks.
Hey –
I tested it with the Tiger Admin (which is a pretty cool plugin, I might use it more often..), but it worked fine. Can you load the page up, and do a view source and send that to me at vermicin @t gmail d.t com? Or give me an account on there so I can troubleshoot it? I promise not to mess anything up
Dunstan I sent the source code you requested a number of hours ago, are you in receipt of it?
Since then I have re-installed the plugin but that has not cleared up the previously reported problem.
Hey Marc –
I tried to email you back, but it’s bounced several times. The source code looks fine, so I’ll need a login.. email me at the same address with the info and I’ll take a look at it.
(this section of the site is not live yet.)
The quote is working fine — but I can’t get it to “attach” to the stylesheet. I tried putting it in the theme’s style sheet, and I also tried putting it in the header of the index.php file.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Ah, I figured it out. Styles are working now!
Great plugin!
Nice- was going to try something like this myself, but as life is short I gladly used yours (it’s better than I would’ve done anyway).
Couple of things that I think would help users (especially those not so clued up with how WP and MySQL work):
-> Mention in the installation that you they have to initialise the plugin.
-> Load an example comment into the db for users, otherwise a MySQL error appears (empty table) until you put somethign in there. That’d also make it clearer what’s going on in the admin.
-> Tell people where to find the comments in the admin.
Cheers. c*
That’s a great idea, chillstar. I’ll integrate that into the next revision!
Absolutely LOVE it! My only issues is thus:
I cannot get the author of the quote & quote on the same line for some odd reason. Let me know. Shoot me an email.
[…] wp-quotes […]
Say, way cool plugin!
I am not able to edit the css? I have added your css and still it seems it doesn’t apply?
Here is what it reads when viewing the source:
The most extraordinary thing in the world is an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary children.
G.K. Chesterton
Any ideas on this?
tGriff
The most extraordinary thing in the world is an ordinary man and an ordinary woman and their ordinary children.

The source
Hmmm,
when I send the source it doesn’t show up on this comment.
The source says the div is named “wp_quotes\”" the div class=”wp_quotes_quote” the author is: cass=”wp_quotes_author”
Nice plugin! It’s fun to use.
One thing I’ve noticed (version 1.2) on my installation is that when I login and go to add a quote, it just returns to the Manage Posts page in the panel without adding the quote or giving any kind of message. However, if I click Edit for an existing quote and save it without making any change, then I’m able to add new quotes fine.
It’s odd, though, that no one else has mentioned this. Maybe it’s something with the way PHP is set up on my host (Dreamhost).
Also, another nice addition might be to add something like a “source” field, so that, in addition to the author, you could add the TV show, movie, or song that it comes from when quoting from such a source.
I downloaded version 1.2 but it is still labled as 1.1 in the file so I am not sure if it is indeed 1.2 mislabled or still 1.1
In any event, thanks for the great plug-in.
Also, I am embedding the quote into the sidebar like so:
I get xhtml validation errors, which seem to indicate that maybe it is expecting to return to a section?
Any suggestions how to edit your spew quote section to address that?
Matt: It should tell you that the quotes were added.. that seems like a weird bug.
xyth: yep, it’s mislabled.. its 1.2
I can’t see your code, so I don’t konw what’s wrong… but as far as I can tell, the xhtml is correct…
I looked at your site, and you have something like this:
<h2>heading</h2>
<ul>
{your stuff}
</ul>
basically, get rid of the UL tags, and it should validate fine .. the UL without an LI tag is an invalid nest in xhtml, so it’ll probably freak out
The ul tags are nested inside LI tags in my sidebar. If I remove the ul tags and leave the li, it validates, but the content is placed wrong. Just wasn’t sure if your code might be fussy if it landed inside a li / ul nesting. I will fiddle with it. Thanks again.
NM, went li ul li and that fixed it. FYI, still get a validation error on 1.2 that I don’t get on 1.0. It is not happy with how the Div id=wp_quote is being declared. Looks like a leading space is getting in there. However, 1.0 works swimmingly, so I’ll run with that. Cheers.
I was able to overload the wp_quotes_random function to take be able to pull quotes from a specific category. I had to make changes to the DB and the two files to handle the extra field “category”. This is a great way to separate be able to pull a random quote from only a portion of the list and still be able to access the whole list.
function wp_quotes_random($category = "any_category") {
global $wpdb;
$categoryMod = ($category == "any_category") ? "" : " and category='".$category."'";
$sql = "select * from " . WP_QUOTES_TABLE . " where visible='yes'".$categoryMod;
$result = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
if ( !empty($result) )
wp_quotes_spew($result[mt_rand(0, count($result)-1)]);
}
I would have sent this in an e-mail, but I couldn’t find an address.
What do I need to hack in order to make users with Level 6 be able to manage the quotes?
i found it: wp-quotes.php, line 24, change 8 to 6.
Nice plugin. Just a note, though. There is an extra set of quotes surrounding the variable $encloseDiv on line 66 or so. The wp_quotes_spew function prototype already has the qoutes passed as a parameter.
Keep up the good work!
You have a great little plugin here! Thanks a ton for the effort!! It’s actually a whole column in my blog.
Maybe if enough people plead nicely, you would add a few more fields and options? Like a ‘from’ field (as in, quote is from X book/etc.), a link field (to link to something related to the quote, if not a link option on ‘author’ and/or ‘from’), some kind of number field (for example my quotes range from 15 words to a long paragraph; if I could categorize them by length then maybe I could put an IF in the PHP and call a diff stylesheet option; or one could have categories of quotes and pull from one cat on a given page).
Thanks for the vool plug-in. It works fine for me but I can not vlaidtae the xhtml file. can you give me some hint. Thanks
Hi,
found the error finally. Please remove the ” ”
in the folwng function in the plug in

Rrmove the “” in the above tag, in the function wp_quotes_spew. Cool Plugin.
Is anyone else having trouble getting the <!–wp-quotes_page–> to work properly?
[…] i’ve also been playing around with some wordpress plugins, one of which you can find at the bottom of the sidebar. it displays a random quote from the library i’m slowly building. it’s simple, well-done, and pretty. if you’re into that sort of thing, check it out here. […]

hey, the isnt working, and nither is .
all i get is a blank screen after the title of the page.
any help?
I’ve only been working with Wordpress for a few weeks. Your plugin is just one more reason WP rocks!
Dude, you rock. Fantastic plugin… your work is sweet!! Thanks so much!
Matt (and Dustin), re: comment #24…
The reason you (and I) aren’t getting new quotes in appears to be that the post goes to edit.php instead of edit-quotes.php and so it goes nowhere. I’m using 1.3 and having the same behavior. I’m going to try and hack it into success, so wish me luck!
-Matthew
So it appears that the reason is that the URL from the submenu is /wp-admin/edit.php?page=edit-quotes.php and so PHP_SELF is grabbing /wp-admin/edit.php and leaving the page argument off. If you go to /wp-admin/edit-quotes.php instead, the form posts fine. Looks like somehow the plugin needs to differentiate?
I haven’t been able to fix it but at least this is a workaround…
This is strange. the quotes used to look like this:
Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories.
-Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781
Now they look like this:
Every government degenerates when trusted to the rulers of the people alone. The people themselves, therefore, are its only safe depositories.
Thomas Jefferson, Notes on the State of Virginia, Query 14, 1781
Any idea why? All I did was change servers.
Excellent plug-in, thanks! If you’re considering future-features, I’m in agreement with Palyne’s request in #34 for a “source” or “from” field in addition to Author, to identify a book/film/etc., and would be very pleased if future releases supported categorization per hofii (#30). Would be nice if the radio-buttons stuck on, too, so that they didn’t always default to visible=no when editing.
All that said, it’s working very nicely as it is
I cannot get the random quote display to ‘pick up’ the styling in my css file. I’ve used your own css with some colour for instance thrown in, but nothing changes. Your counsel would be appreciated. Thanks

[…] Random Quotes […]
Hello,
I downloaded and installed random quotes plugin, everything went well. Thanks to your concise directions, easily found the page to add quotes. Added a quote. Hit “Save”. Took me back to the first “Manage” page. Tried again. Hit “Save”. Same thing. It says “You haven’t entered any quotes yet.” I would try the editing existing quotes run-around if it would let me store any to begin with…tried deleting and reinstalling, to no avail. I’m using 1.5.2.
Upon further investigation, it dawned on me that the php file “WP_QUOTES_TABLE” is not being automatically created as needed, which is why nothing is happening when I submit a quote. If it is being created, I have no clue as to which directory it is being created in, and if is is the directory it needs to be in.
[…] wp_quote: Ein Plugin um zufällig ein Zitat aus einer Sammlung anzuzeigen. […]
Hi,
I like this plugin and I’m wondering if there’s any way to run two instances of it against the same database. After wp_quotes was running fine, I made copies of both files and named them ‘wp-jokes.php’ and ‘edit-jokes.php’.
Everything worked fine and the “manage” tab showed a “joke” interface as well, which created a database called wp_jokes.
Now, when I try to stick my jokes on sidebar, in this way: “” nothing is displayed
Has anyone tried anything like this?
I forgot to mention that i did a universal search and replace on both files (replaced every “quotes” with “jokes”).
Also, the block of code that I had posted wasn’t shown. It was “question-mark php wp_jokes_random”…
[…] The Random Quotes Plugin is pretty cool. Except I cant add anymore quotes sigh I was able to add one by changing the permissions. But now I cant add anymore ?? I dunno. I ‘m lost on that one lol I’d like to have a collection of them. As it is now, I can only have 4. […]
GREAT PLUG IN!
For those that are having trouble with the CSS not working … remove the extra #wp_quotes before the div entries .. see below:

}

{
}
div.wp_quotes_author
{
text-align: center;
font-style: italic;
margin-top: 5px;
color: #707070;
}
div.wp_quotepage
{
font-size: 14px;
width: 80%;
margin-left: 40px;
}
div.wp_quotepage_quote
{
}
div.wp_quotepage_author
{
margin-left: 40px;
font-style: italic;
}
hr.wp_quotepage_hr
{
width: 70%;
margin-top: 15px;

margin-left: 15px;
}
div.wpquotes_poweredby
{
text-align: center;
font-size: 0.8em;
margin-top: 12px;
}
All should be fine after that!
Best,

[…] Well, I went ahead and found a random quotes generator for my site that actually works, so I’ve added that to the upper right corner.

Nice plugin - very easy to use. I’m not sure if it’s been mentioned - there are far too many comments to look through… but, it’d be good to have the option to pass a parameter to the functions that display the quotes which will put the quote/quotes into a PHP array as opposed to printing out the HTML so that we can use our own markup. For example, I want to be able to link the Author name to a web search and put quote marks around the actual quote…
Cheers!

I made an add-on to Random quotes.
Added code is (to insert at bottom of wp-quotes.php) :
define('WP_QUOTES_BEST', '');
function wp_quotes_best_quote($data) {
$start = strpos($data, WP_QUOTES_BEST);
if($start!=false) {
global $wpdb;
$sql = "select * from " . WP_QUOTES_TABLE . " where visible='yes'";
$valid_quotes = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
$scores_array = array();
foreach($valid_quotes as $quote) {
$quote_score = 0.0;
similar_text($data, $quote->quote, $quote_score);
$scores_array[] = array($quote, $quote_score);
}
$selected_quote = $scores_array[0];
foreach($scores_array as $quote_infos) {
if($selected_quote[1]" . wp_quotes_spew($selected_quote[0]);
}
return $data;
}
function wp_quotes_insert_head($content) {
print("\n\t\n");
}
add_filter('the_content', 'wp_quotes_best_quote', 95);
/*
Adds action to insert stylesheet
*/
add_action('wp_head', 'wp_quotes_insert_head', 95);
Once this code is inserted, adding “” will include dynamically in the post tthe best matching quote, according to the “similar_text” php function.
I use it on my blog, and it works nice, expected that the quote is inserted at the post beginning (??? maybe a bug in my code)

Thanks a lot for your nice little plugin. It works very well and it’s very easy to use.
I have modified the latest 1.3 version in order to add a wp_quotes_daily_random() function that displays a random quote of the day (it means that the same random quote will be displayed all day long).

You just have to replace the 2 files in your WordPress plugins and admin directories and the plugin will automatically be updated. Then replace your call to the wp_quotes_random() function in your template by a call to the wp_quotes_daily_random() function in order to see the result (the same quote is always shown, even if you refresh your page). Don’t hesitate to integrate this feature to the next version of your plugin if you find it useful

I updated to WP 2.0 tonight and its given me some weird activity with this plugin. When you go directly to a page it displays the quote just fine (its in my Heading if you want to look. Click to another page, then push the “Back” button and it gives me an undefined function error. Hit reload and the page is again shown fine. Any ideas?
Hmmmm….I played around with the new 2.0 installation of WP tonight and this issue seemed to have disappeared for me after I updated the Permalinks settings (no change made to it, just updated it). You can check out how I use your plugin at http://lostinafog.com/blog. Thanks for a cool lil plugin!
Hi,
I was wondering is there a way for there to be “section” like a category for the quotes? That way if someone were to put or something like that, then only those quotes from that category would display. Is that possible ? Thanks…
wow, this plug in was super easy to install and I usually can’t ever get plug-ins to work!! Thanks for sharing, I love it!
Got it working, was very easy.
I also modified it to provide “Quote of the Day” instead of random quote. I only have 31 quotes in the database right now, but will continue filling it until there is a years worth. Then I’ll set it julian date instead of day-of-month.
Great plugin!
Thanks from me, too.

Hi,
This would be cool :
Having the ability to import Quotes from a file or RSS feed. With the files it would be cool if it alowed for a file on the web and or a file on your computer. With bolth it would be cool if it allowed for the quote autor importing too. It’s an idea.
Great plugin. I’m using it on my site and thanks for the hard work you’ve done.
As an assist, I thought I’d point out that some browsers don’t like underscores in CSS definitions. Using underscores in div’s might not be the best idea. Just a heads up!

thank youuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu
is there someway to just pull in the quote or part of the quote and not all the other stuff? and what about just the quote and not a wrapping div tag?
I’d like to be able to grab the first 5 words of a random quote and display it inline, and link it to my quotes page that shows all the quotes.
possible? Ideas on how? Help appreciated!

upgraded to WP 2.0.2 and have a weird new problem. When I go to the Manage page and click on “quote” which used to take me to a nice page to manage my quote list and add new ones, now it takes me out of admin to my front page….hmmmm…any ideas? It says the page is my …wp-admin/edit-quotes.php page….but it isn’t
once again I have discovered that the mere fact of posting my problem here leads to a quick fix. I’d deleted the edit-quotes.php file during the upgrade, leaving my wp installation thinking I was nuts. I am nuts, but the problem is now fixed. Thanks…I guess…
I really love this plug-in and use it to keep my header file always different (at least to the tune of 76 quotes so far).
[…] I like a rotating description under my blog title, so I grabbed wp_quotes, a WordPress plugin that grabs random quotes from a list you enter, and replaced the part of the header template that says <?php bloginfo(’description’); ?> with <?php wp_quotes_random();?>, but the random description wasn’t toeing the style line no matter how much I edited the header template. It turns out the documentation admits to a double-<div> wrapper in <?php wp_quotes_random();?>’s output. The extra <div>s kind of negate any styling you try to apply to the quote, and though you can define the styles for wp_quotes’s <div>s, I found it easier to stumble around in the wp_quotes php and erase the extra code it puts around the quotes. This is probably un-semantic and poor coding practice, but it makes things less annoying for me. […]
I like it! Much appreciated!
Is there a max number of quotes you can add?
(I thought I read it somewhere, but can’t find it again.. sorry).
Little bug :
edit-quotes.php now is supposed to be in the admin area, but every time there is an upgrade for wordpress the admin area is deleted. Edit-quotes.php should be placed in a directory like “wp-quotes” with the plugin file too.
Other then that good plugin!

Thanks for the great plugin! I use WP 2.0.2 and it works without problems. @benjo: No adjusting of permission needed.
I decided to use your plugin not for quotes, but for proverbs and sayings in english-german =) Nice idea, huh? Thanks again for my new plaything that I can now fill up with all my already collected proverbs, sayings, idioms and stuff…
Great plugin, thanks! A couple of notes: I’m trying to use this to display 2-3 specific quotes on specific pages. To achieve this, I’m using conditional statements, like this:
if ( is_home() ) {
wp_quotes(’7′);
echo “”;
wp_quotes(’5′);
echo “”;
wp_quotes(’6′);
echo “”;
}
elseif ( is_single(’advice’) ) {
wp_quotes(’8′);
echo “”;
wp_quotes(’9′);
echo “”;
wp_quotes(’10′);
echo “”;
}
else {
wp_quotes(’7′);
echo “”;
wp_quotes(’5′);
echo “”;
wp_quotes(’6′);
echo “”;
}
This works fine on the home page, but on the ‘advice’ page, nothing is displayed. I know the conditional code is working though, as I can insert echo “Yes, this is the advice post!” and it prints as expected. I do have quotes with those IDs inserted in the DB. Any ideas as to why I can’t get the quotes to display on other posts?
A few people mentioned validation errors. I experienced this as well because I was calling multiple quotes on a given page, resulting in multiple DIVs with the same ID. To remedy, I simply opened the plugin file, and edited line 63:
function wp_quotes_spew($quote, $encloseDiv=’class=”wp_quotes”‘, $quoteDiv=’wp_quotes_quote’, $authorDiv=’wp_quotes_author’)
(Note use of “class” instead of “id”.
cheers
SAM
UPDATE: Conditional statements and wp_quotes does work with pages:
if ( is_home() ) {
wp_quotes(’7′);
wp_quotes(’5′);
wp_quotes(’6′);
}
elseif ( is_page(’about’) ) {
wp_quotes(’8′);
wp_quotes(’9′);
wp_quotes(’10′);
}
I just can’t get wp_quotes to work with a conditional statement based on single posts:
if ( is_single(’advice’) ) {
wp_quotes(’8′);
wp_quotes(’9′);
wp_quotes(’10′);
}
Quotes are not displayed on the post ‘advice’. This works though:
if ( is_single(’advice’) ) {
echo “Success!”
}
Does anyone have this working with is_single?
TIA!

Gah, sorry about double posts…I fixed it anyhow.
BTW I have a nice suggestion for this great plugin. It would be cool to be able to post a quote, without the author, and the user can click the quote to see who the author is - kind of like a little quiz. They can guess before clicking to see author.
Also, a way for users to input quotes.
Sweet plugin! Even cooler that one is able to enter/manage quotes while wp-quotes.php is deactivated. Just one question: Is it a bug or a feature that edit-quotes.php then creates a new table called WP_QUOTES_TABLE and stores stuff there?
Thanks for this plug in the runners on our site will enjoy the motivation they get from our daily advise.

I’d like to use this plugin, but what I really need is a function to pull the first [n] characters from a random quote and to have that link to call up the quotes page with that quote displayed.
So, if you are monitoring these comments, could you indicate whether or not this is possible? How would you go about it? Any chance you are going to update the plugin with new functions like these? I’d pay to get them.
[…] 1) live comment preview. there is no respectable blog without it anymore 2) new smilies. they are hilarious, and time-saving too! 3) random quotes at the bottom. for those that take the pains to scroll all the way down, some comic relief. 4) Wetfloor, a plugin that gives a partial reflection of whatever images you may have in the post. […]
could you consider adding methods to sort the quotes by author? That would SO rock. I’ve modified the plugin to work with a “short” version of the quote and author so that I can display a “teaser” of a quote that is clickable to the page. I’ve also managed to modify the management of the data to incorporate it into the add/edit functions.
I just duplicated your random and spew functions, renamed and made a few mods to the output structure to accommodate where the shortened “teaser” data is displayed… AND I have managed to set up a link around the shortened teaser output that passes the quoteID value.
quoteID; ?>” title=”quote); ?> - author;?>”>shortauthor ?> shortquote); ?>
It seems to be passing the right value (I’ve compared the number against that of the quote in the data table)
??? But how can I GET the value passed as “x” to the quotes page and either have that be the first quote shown OR show that as a single quote (above the loop?) and then follow up with the regular spew.
So,
1) would love it if you set up some way to sort by author
2) if you can help me/make suggestions on how to GET the value I’m passing from the linked teaser text and use it in
BTW, it would be nice if the comments here were most recent to past, rather than the opposite…
Cool plugin. Thanks

“>quote; ?>

{
?>
“>author;?>
(I just added the marquee tags and removed the nl2br-function)
scrolling text:

hi Dustin,
I found out why for some people the adding of quotes to the database doesn’t work. It’s the action = statement in the form (line 317 in edit-quotes.php). It sends the form-data to the same page the form is on. When the url is like this: ‘wp-admin/edit.php?page=edit-quotes.php’ it gets fucked up. When you replace this with ‘action=’edit-quotes.php’, everything works just fine.
ok Dustin,
Forget about the stuff above. The only solution I found to the inability-to-add-quotes-problem is making sure the address is ‘wp-admin/edit-quotes.php’ and not ‘wp-admin/edit.php?page=edit-quotes.php’.
Replacing the form-action and even redirecting in .htaccess don’t work
I’d like to second mAtt’s idea from Oct. 25, 2005 - I’m using this for random taglines, but I’d also like to be able to have a quotes page/database, and I’d like them to be separate.
So, being able to manage distinct “groups” or “categories” of quotes would be useful.
[…] Zombie Robot ” wp_quotes: Random Quote Plugin … You can call up a random quote, or a specific quote in your pages … quotes “off,” without actually deleting them. The quote layouts are done with CSS, so you can … […]
If you have a lot of quotes like I do, wp-quotes can get a slugish when displaying a random quote due to a poor SQL query. I made a little change as follows (use this to replace the old
wp_quotes_random()function:function wp_quotes_random()
{
global $wpdb;
$sql = “select * from ” . WP_QUOTES_TABLE . ” where visible=’yes’ ORDER BY RAND() LIMIT 0,1″;
$result = $wpdb->get_results($sql);
if ( !empty($result) )
wp_quotes_spew($result[0]);
}
The difference is that the old query pulls all fields on all rows (in my case approaching 1k) and selects 1 at random. This query selects 1 random quote. Should also cut down on memory consumption in cases with large quote databases.
IMHO it’s a worthwhile and quick fix. Hope this helps anyone optimizing their blog.
Hey Dustin!
Great plugin you have here! I was wondering you’re specifically checking for “admin” access before letting someone view this on the Manage toolbar. If so, could I make a change so that “editors” could see that as well. If so, where would I make that change at?
Thanks!
Sorry, the above is wrong (likely will be a bit slower as it creates a temporary table in memory)…. but this seemed to help me out:
function wp_quotes_random()
{
global $wpdb;
$offset = $wpdb->get_results( ” SELECT FLOOR( RAND()*COUNT(`quoteid`) ) AS offset FROM ” . WP_QUOTES_TABLE);
$result = $wpdb->get_results( ” SELECT * FROM ” . WP_QUOTES_TABLE . ” LIMIT ” . $offset[0]->offset . “, 1 ” );
if ( !empty($result) )
wp_quotes_spew($result[0]);
}
Yes it’s 2 queries rather than 1, but both are very fast and won’t pull several hundred records.
This is likely slower if you have a smaller database, or a lot of RAM because of the extra query. But if you don’t want to retrieve everything to display 1 query, this is the best route.

Hey! I’ve managed to install the plugin and get it working, but I have a problem. I have called the plugin in my tagline in my header.php. However, it doesn’t retain the CSS formatting for the div class, which results in the text being unreadable as its hidden by my banner image (the CSS makes the text be indented by using padding). I’m guessing this is a problem with PHP because the same thing happens using Witty Text plugin too. Curiously though, the default Wordpress tagline of bloginfo(’description’); works and accepts formatting. I don’t suppose you can shed any light or know of a way to force it to accept the CSS formatting? My humble thanks to you, Leon

Hello Dustin
I have installed wp_quotes on my blog by scrupulously following your instructions.
The plugin is activated and I was able to entered about 20 quotes in the Manage / Quote Section. I also have inserted on the right side on my blog under the title “Citation aléatoire”.
As you can see, the quotes don’t display. Could you help me finding out what’s wrong ? Regards
Hi -
I managed to get your quotes installed and it does display a quote where I want it to. However, the quotes won’t change, it stays the same quote. I have multiple quotes added, they are visible, and the plugin is activated. Any insight into what’s going on? Thanks.
The way I see it, you should have an enormous amount of sweet karma around you. Thanks. Carolyn
[…] WP RandomQuotes is a modification and melding of two separate WordPress plugins: WP Quotes by Dustin Barnes and RandomQuote by Abhijit Nadgouda. In fact, RandomQuote is simply a widget wrapper for WP Quotes. The problem was that WP Quotes had it’s own admin interface which actually required the WordPress user to drop a file in both the wp-plugins directory and in the wp-admin directory. This is not an elegant solution; many WordPress users are simply not technical enough to handle such an operation. In addition, the typical upgrade process for WordPress involves replacing all files in the wp-admin directory by deleting the entire folder and replacing it with the newer release’s folder. You could easily lose that functionality. Also, the RandomQuote would do nothing if the WP Quotes plugin was not in place and working. And, you had to add elements to your CSS file in order to format the quotes on your blog. Lots of “ifs”, “ands” and such. While the existing system worked, it was kind of convoluted. […]
I am thinking of using the plugin for Quotes. But I also want to use it separately for a section called Trivia. Since one can’t make both work with the same plugin, I want to make another one called wp-trivia or something like that. So for that, if I make a duplicate file and replaced all the “wp-quote” with “wp-trivia” throughout the plugin file, will it work? I am not a techie and wouldn’t want to tinker around with the database unless I get a green signal.
There is another thing. In the quotes plugin I want to add another field called Title (i.e. title of the book). Now, how can I do that?
TIA.
I followed all of the instructions, however, when I put the code on the sidebar, it comes up with an error.
Looking through the comments, it seems a lot of them are asking for help, so mine might be a change. It worked perfectly, it did exactly what I wanted, and it did it in a way much better than any alternative I’ve found.
I just have to sit down and spend hours adding all the quotes I want now.
I appreciate what you’de made, dude.

For what it’s worth, for that problem where clicking [Save] sends you right back to the Manage Posts page, I found a little fix. I don’t know if it will work for all, but it worked for me.
Basically, as was stated earlier, PHP_SELF thinks it’s edit.php and not edit-quotes.php. I went into /wp/wp-content/plugins/edit-quotes.php and changed this line in the form:
“>
Hey, that didn’t show up. How about this.
1. open /wp/wp-content/plugins/edit-quotes.php
2. find the line that opens the form:
form name=”quoteform” id=”quoteform” … etc
3. change the action attribute from:
action=”?php echo $_SERVER[’PHP_SELF’]?”
to
action=”/wp/wp-admin/edit-quotes.php”
Seems to work. I also mentioned that you might be able to define $_SERVER[’PHP_SELF’] somewhere, but I didn’t want to go around mucking around with that since I wasn’t sure what it might screw up elsewhere.

Hi! Great plugin… something I always wanted. Question: Is it possible to upload a “batch file” of quotes we already have? I’m not a mySQL guru, but is that possible? I have about 120 quotes I’ve collected… inputing the quote+author will be somewhat tedious… but the plugin is still great!
Thanks.
Great plugin - thanks!
I have one small issue. I have been able to get 53 quotes into the database without a problem. Now, I enter the text into the appropriate fields and hit “Save”, only to find that it won’t save anymore. Is there some sort of limit as to how many quotes (or characters) the database can handle?
Would be really nice if this could feature a refresh button, that would refresh the quote without refreshing the page. (Faster.) Even nicer if it was done with AJAX. (Faster still.)
Any possibility of this feature being added?
Is there a way to use the plugin on another WP site without having to install the plugin twice at the new location?
I’d like the quotes to show up in the footers of my main WP site and then my WP blog site as well.

Hi, nonhocapito. I experienced this too. Open the wp_quotes.php and find the block of code:

*/
function wp_quotes_admin_menu($content)
{
global $submenu;
$submenu[’edit.php’][40] = array(__(’Quotes’), 9, ‘edit-quotes.php’);
}
Change the [40] to [50] and all is good!
tried to test it out, but can’t seem to get it to work
- got the 2 files uploaded to the correct directories
- go to “manage”, click on “quotes”
- and then it gives me a not found error.
Anyone experience this or the fix?

Hi, Just made a little hack of your plugin.
Punlished here:
http://mets.ta.chambre.en.ordre.net/2007/04/16/wp_quotes-little-hack/
KiKollan - I noticed the same thing. If you tweak the wp-quotes.php following the comment “Puts the Quotes manager thingie under the “manage” tab” in the line “$submenu[’edit.php’][40] = array(__(’Quotes’), 8, ‘edit-quotes.php’)” and change the 40 to 44, you should be good to go. I’m sure it’s not the most correct fix, but it solves the problem and all in all worth it as this is the best quote plug-in available … IMHO of course.

Will this plugin call up your quotes when the code is placed within a widget?
I have used the plugin for over a year with success. It has been used to call an individual quote on the index page sidebar and to call all quotes on a Page.
Since upgrading to WP 2.2 with its widget support it will not sall the quotes from the index page although it still works on my page.
This is so cool - I want to be able to use this plugin to output random testimonials. Is there any way to output multiple random quotes from the db table without showing each one more than once on the same page?
Marc (#331), Abhijit Nadgouda has built a widgetizer for this plugin. Requires both to work, and it works like a charm. Get it at ifacethoughts[dot]net/2006/08/24/random-quote-widget-for-wordpress/ .

Drew (#339), I upgraded a few weeks ago, and I’m not having either of those problems. I just tested it by adding a new quote (#150!), and it worked like usual.
Are you using the most current version? Should be v1.3 for this and v1.0 if you’re using the widget companion plugin found elsewhere.
[…] Zombie Robot » wp_quotes: Random Quote Plugin […]
Thanks for the reply, Matt.
I was using v1.3. I re-downloaded it, deleted the current Quote files, and uploaded the new ones. Still though, there are two footers and I am unable to add quotes. Do I need to empty the cache in my database or something? If so, how do I go about that?
Sorry, you’re a bit out of my depth. Maybe this plugin is being overruled by another one. I’ve had that happen before. You might try deactivating (not deleting) all your other plugins and see if wp-quotes works. If it does, one of your plugins is getting in the way. Then it’s just process of elimination and deciding which one’s more important.
Although, if wp-quotes works with the others turned off, you could add the new quotes before you turn them back on. Sounds like all the distortion is happening in the background, so that might be a reasonable alternative.
In addition to your great plugin, I’m using Gengo on a client site. It is a plugin (http://jamietalbot.com/wp-hacks/gengo/) which is a plugin for translating posts / pages and content. Both - or neither depending on your point of view - filter quotes by language.
Think this is a feature / functionality / item you’d be interested in doing an upgrade to support? I’m going to take a stab at it myself, but my efforts for Wordpress have thus far been limited to theme customizations and use of others’ plugins.
Thanks,
Jamie

Hey!
Thanks for this plugin. But here is a suggestion.
It would be really nice if we could set a number of quotes shown per page when using ‘‘.
My page with quotes is getting too long.
I am really excited about this plugin- the back end is exactly what I was looking for!
Now if I could only get the front end to work…
I’ve tried reinstalling this a few times now, and for some reason the quote just isn’t being called. I get a blank area instead of a quote, not even any error messages.
I’m using WP 2.2.1, so I’m entirely aware that could be the issue, though reading back it seems like at least one person said it worked okay with 2.2.
I definitely have 1.3, the most recent version, and I’ve triple checked installation instructions and permissions on all the files- any thoughts?
I’d love to use this, it’s definitely the best quote plugin out there. Thanks for your work on it.

Audrey (#351), I’m assuming you’re trying to get a page with a list of quotes, yes? If you’re trying to do that by going through the standard admin interface and writing a new page, you’ll need to get one of the plugins that allows for php to be placed there. By default it disregards php when you use that method. This plugin seems to be the one people point to the most, though I haven’t needed to use any of them myself.
If you’re trying to put it in a sidebar, my recommendation would be to get the widget that’s built with wp_quotes. Do a google search for ‘random quote widget’ and you should find it pretty easily.

It is very easy to use and allows adding and controlling your random quotes or text from the WordPress Administration Panels. It features a lot of options to configure your random quotes. You can then add the Plugin template tag to your WordPress Theme to put the random text in your header, footer, sidebar, or wherever you want. […]

[…] I’m piecing together some design quotes (or creative quotes in general) to include in my blog footer layout. There’s a nice plugin I’ve just installed for WordPress called the Random Quote Plugin. You enter a number of quotes via the admin and it generates a random one to display everytime your web page is refreshed. […]
Let me start by saying this is a very nice plugin. Can you tell me how to modify the wp_quotes_page function to allow filtering of the quotes database by author? For example, I want to “spew” all quotes for a particular author onto a page as opposed to all quotes by all authors. Or, if this funtionality is already built-in can you tell me how to use it? Thank you in advance.
While I wait to hear how to filter spewed quotes by “Author” I have entered quotes for multiple authors while leaving only (1) authors quotes visible however the wp_quotes_page function still outputs all quotes regardless of the “Visible” setting.
Disregard my previous post regarding the “Visible” setting. I changed:
$sql = “select * from ” . WP_QUOTES_TABLE;
to
$sql = “select * from ” . WP_QUOTES_TABLE . ” where visible=’yes’”;

Loving the plugin, thanks. I used to use another one called DonkieQuote (which I can’t seem to get to work on WP 2.2) but it had the author link (customizable). Count me on the request bandwagon for an author URL.
Thanks again!
I’ve been trying to figure out how to make the Manage:Quotes menu item which this plugin adds available to Editors as well as Administrators. Here’s how:
On line 24, change:
$submenu['edit.php'][40] = array(__('Quotes'), 8, 'edit-quotes.php');to:
$submenu['edit.php'][40] = array(__('Quotes'), 7, 'edit-quotes.php');Changing that 8 in the middle to a 7 sets the user level referenced by wp_quotes_admin_menu() when it’s creating the menu to be applied by
add_action('admin_menu', 'wp_quotes_admin_menu');I learned about user levels here:
http://codex.wordpress.org/User_Levels
Hope this helps others.
This seems not to like WordPress 2.3 beta 1 or beta 2. it activates as normal, but trying to go into the admin to add quotes generates a server error. I’ll have a look at the server logs and see if there are any clues there…
Ignore the previous comment - it’s now working. Not having the edit-quotes.php file in wp-admin was a bit of a silly mistake

[…] Il fatto bello dei plugin di wordpress è la loro compatibilità pressappoco perenne. Pressappoco perchè con il passaggio alla sidebar con le widget, i plugin non più ‘attivi’, quelli obsoleti non si possono più usare così facilmente come un tempo. Ok, belli cazzi, ma io che ho già inserito centinaia di citazioni… come fo a non perderle se cambio plugin e ne scelgo uno più recente? Come posso fare a cambiare plugin ma a non perdere i miei quotes e a non lasciare tabelle e stringhe di configurazione? E’ un po’ come chiedere la botte piena, e la moglie ubriaca… con la sola differenza che tutto questo si può. Come? Semplice! Basta non non cambiare plugin; continuare ad usare l’unico e solo wp-quotes (Random Quote Plugin di Zobie Robot), così piccolo, così poco invasivo, eppure così potente. Dunque, dicevamo… l’unica strada è widgetizzare il plugin e allo scopo, mi sono servito del più stupido dei workaround. Con l’aiuto del plugin Exec-PHP che permette di eseguire codice php all’interno del loop e non solo, è bastato creare un semplicissimo widget di testo, e scrivere il codice <?php wp_quotes_random(); ?> o anche, sempre meglio controllare che la funzione esista nel caso si disattivi un giorno il plugin… <?php if(function_exists(”wp_quotes_random”)) { wp_quotes_random(); } ?> Come titolo si può usare il classico ‘Frase celebre del giorno‘ o qualcosa del genere. Visto che mi ci trovo, ne butto una a casaccio qui sotto. Nessun doppio senso. E’ semplicemente a caso, provare per credere.

Thanks alot , it’s very good plugin
Here’s something that maybe should be pointed out in the instructions for this plug-in: Because of the weird place you have to put the plug-in file (you have to put “edit-quotes.php” into the wp-admin folder), if you follow the WordPress upgrade instructions to the letter, you delete the plug-in.
It still works — you just have to remember to have a copy of the two plug-in files and copy them back to your site in the proper places.
I like the plug-in, but that should definitely be pointed out.

I’ve used your quotation widget for a long time now, I’m very fond of it. I would like to make a change though, and I’m not a programmer, not even close. The author’s name, I’d like to have it aligned on the right, rather than on the left. It just isn’t looking right to me all of sudden. I notice yours is on the right too. I was thinking I could add a little dash in front of it like: - Thomas Jefferson Any help appreciated, thank-you.

Hi,
I have wp-quotes installed as well as wp-cache. This causes the quotes not to “rotate.” Does anyone know a work around for this?
Awesome. Thankyou.
This plugin is wonderful! Installed and worked exactly as described! I would like to use this for a word of the day sidebar. Right now I’m putting the word in the author field so it appears after the definition which I’m putting in the quote field. I was wondering how hard it would be to reverse the display order, ie. show the Author at the top and the quote at the bottom?? Thanks again for making such a great plug-in!

I had the same “lost edit functionality” with the 2.6.2 upgrade. Here’s the deal:
If you upgrade WordPress automatically, it will overwrite the edit-quotes.php file in the /wp-admin directory. Just download 1.3 again (top of the page) and upload the edit-quotes.php file.
Everything should be hunky dorey after that.
Feature request:
I would like to add an image of the person who provided the quote. Much like the way gravatars show in comments for example. Is that a feature you would consider adding to the plugin?
Bitchola.. Freaking sweet.. Bad monkey.. Holy crap..

One question: the is not working on WP 2.6 when I put it into of a page (no WYSIWYG). What I am doing wrong?
Greetings from Poland!
Doesn’t Work in WordPress 2.7. When trying to edit quotes I get the error message www.site.com/wp-admin/edit-quotes.php” Page does not exist. Any fixes?
Thank you so much for making this. It’s exactly what I needed and you stopped my frustration!
Hi,
Enjoyed your widget, but it’s not longer compatible with WP 2.7. Same happens to me as happens to Jaye: I get a “Page does not exist” error. Any help?
I’m getting the same as the last few posters, but it just seems that the file is missing. I’d presume that something in the upgrade process didn’t like the file it didn’t recognize in wp-admin. I copied the file over from my backup and everything was fine.
