Hello,

Is it possible to use this plugin in conjuction with WPML? Because I don’t know how.

Thanks!

Hi Aidan

This plugin is just what I’m looking for. I have been using it on a local development site and it worked just fine, anyway my problem is that I have uploaded to a live website and it states no quotes found, although I can see the quotes and author tables are in phpadmin. Have you any ideas why this might not work?

Another point is that the starting quote appears to be always the same and not random? Any ideas why this may not be working correctly.

I want to thank you for providing such a good plugin, and I’m sure give it time I will be able to find solutions to these problems.

Thanks

Graeme

Oh… and I should say… I love the plug-in… exactly what I was looking for. Just need it to look better in IE.

Not sure why my previous post was deleted. Is there a fix for rendering the fonts (especially larger ones) in IE? The text looks fine in Firefox but in IE is very choppy and grainy. I’ve look thru all the posts above but don’t see a resolution.

Can you tell me why large fonts look so bad using this? They are very choppy looking. I’ve also tried to use a custom.css file but nothing I add to it will take effect with regard to fonts.

Thanks for the quick reply Aidan. I’ll give it a try. And thanks for the awesome plugin.

you could try the older version of the plugin which used the scriptaclous library instead of jquery – it may make a difference in IE

My font doesn’t appear clear in the sidebar widget. I can’t read any of the text at all. Any suggestions?

Works flawlessly in Firefox, but I’m having a slight issue in IE that I can’t diagnose. The text renders with what looks like about 80-90% opacity (i.e. all quote text looks light…but only in IE).

I’m matching the style of other widgets so I need a very close match and in IE it’s not working.

Any ideas?

No matter what title I put, it always comes up as ‘Quote Rotator` ! Any solution to this ? (using the widget method)

@Anni – just tested it and it works fine with anchor tags added. Your quote characters don’t look right – try with double quotes.

Ok sorry about posting twice but the code rendered anyway even with the extra paces will try again. This time I have removed the opening and closing tags

Love this plugin but I’m having a small issue. The HTML is not rendering in the widget. I tried to find the lines in the fix mentioned earlier, but this version is obviously newer.
It is not a huge issue, but would like to be able to provide direct links to sites from the widget.
I have tried adding it in the quote area and the author area to no avail….any ideas.

This is the code snippet

from SANDS SA

*added spaces so it wouldn’t render in the comment. Also even though I put double quotation marks ” when it saved it reverted to apostrophes ‘

The plugin was working fantastically, then I upgraded the plugin recently and the title keepps coming up as ‘Quote Rotator’ instead of what I put in the settings area. Has anyone come across this and solved it? Thanks

Scratch that – I got it to work – thanks again for a great plugin and @Kenneth Henderson – thanks for the solution – I pasted it somewhere else and it worked great :)

Hey,

Thanks for an awesome plugin… :)

@Kenneth Henderson

Thanks for the fix, unfortunately it doesn’t work for me – I am overhauling my site and the last thing I need to do it make it validate, and I’m sooooo close!!

You said to go to line 221, but my file only goes up to line 197 and the line you quoted doesn’t exist in my file – I only have :

“”;

or some variant of it…

Did you perhaps have an earlier version of the plugin? Do you have any idea how I can fix mine? (0.2) ?

I would really appreciate any help – from anyone!!

Thanks in advance :)

Hi, love the ease of use for this widget but wanting it to do two things –

#1 – I want a fixed area that the quotes are displayed in. Currently the quote displays, deletes, displays, deletes — it looks like flashing!!

#2 – I’d like it to do exactly what it does, but then display a list of all quotes on a separate page. Is this possible?

Thanks!

Hello Aidan,
Thanks for the plugin. Is there a way to set the limit for characters to display?

Thanks,
Anton

Aidan – Are you able to provide some help or future functionality to allow widget to be a certain height and to prevent the output from subsequent widgets from jumping up and down based on the quote length? I think I want to do what Tibor did (see 195 above), but I don’t know how to do this.

@Melanie: it means the JavaScript is not working. Most common cause for this is a clash with other plugins. To troubleshoot, disable all other plugins and check again. Make sure javascript is enabled in your browser.
