Quotation of the day
-
hi there,
i really like to have a quotation (with author) on my mirror. Similar to the wordnik-module.
Unfortunately i dont know how to build a module like this. Is here anybody who has the knowledge and desire to help me with that?
There exists various homepages with rss feed ability.I would be glad if anybody could help.
greets

thanks for the link. so far i understand this module, i have to write down a list of quotes?
I like to have each day a new one from a website. -
I will look into it tonight for you.
-
-
that looks good cowboysdude :)
where do you get the quotes from? i cant the this in the code. -
-
Ah. Thanks.
So this module is only for this homepage right?There is a german url: http://www.zitate-online.de/zitatdestages.xml
which i would prefer for showing german quotes. i added this instead of the original url, but nothing happens.
Is it possible to create this module for this homepage?
-
@pauabaer Well that would have been handier if I knew that upfront LOL.
If I have time today I’ll rework it.
-
of course you are right. sorry for that. thought you need some more infos before starting moduling and was waiting for a conversation. but you were faster. :)

It’s okay :) I don’t get upset I think it’s actually kinda funny LOL
-
thats good. thanks for all!
at this page the quotes were updated each day at 02:00 am. is it possible that just the new one is shown for 24h and the mirror gets refreshed these times? can you display the quote with the author like in your first version? -
@pauabaer should update everyday …
-
@cowboysdude would be cool if the module would support multiple apis,
for english http://quotesondesign.com
for german http://www.zitate-online.deand then the api gets selected by the global language defined in the config file with english as fallback for a non supported language
-
@strawberry-3.141 Wellllllllllllllll lol I have them both working in two different modules right now…
Just having a tad bit of an issue with characters showing up in the German version as ? for some reason…
I can get them in one module using the language selection of either EN or DE …
-
@cowboysdude those are probably äöü you might have to check the encoding of the response.
You might want to take a look into the fuel module where i use different apis based on the location/country
-
@strawberry-3.141 Yes they are encoded but not returning in the innerHTML properly and am really not sure how to fix that… I’ve tried a few different things but alas no luck…
-
No matter can’t figure out the german umulates… Sorry.
-
oh no. @strawberry-3-141 can you help here? this quotation feature would be very “magic” :)
-
there is an encoding option for request get requests, you might want to take a look into that
