this is the mod for Random Quotes but it only displays on the index page i even put (QUOTE) on the overall header but still didnt work anyway to make it work on everypage?

[Stoker]

You know this mod is for phpBB version 2??

[iheartbreakz]

it works for phpbb 3.0.7 and even in phpbb2 it only showed on the index page anyway to make it like you can have it on every page

[Stoker]

You will need to fit in the code to functions.php instead of index.php
Then it will work on all pages.

[iheartbreakz]

where can i fit it in functions.php

[Stoker]

I dont know, but You can use this instead: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=309
Its a bbode but use the html part in the template.

[iheartbreakz]

nevermind i put the code in functions.php and it worked

[Stoker]

Please post up the solution, maybe others want to use it.

[iheartbreakz]

i entered those lines in functions.php here:

Code: Select all

       srand ((double) microtime() * 1000000);
       $zitate = file("quotes.txt");
       $i = count($zitate)-1;

          $template->assign_vars(array(
        'QUOTE' => $zitate[rand(0,$i)],
		'SITENAME'						=> $config['sitename'],
		'SITE_DESCRIPTION'				=> $config['site_desc'],
		'PAGE_TITLE'					=> $page_title,

but now the problem is that the skin that i dont have the quotes on when i go on the acp login page it gives me this error

Code: Select all

[Stoker]

I dont know how to fix it, but the error is telling that the file quotes.txt is missing.
