      hi @cowboysdude
      at which time does the quotes getting updated? does it change at a specific time? depends this time on your timezone?

      every morning (CEST) i see the same quote like in the evening. at the homepage it is getting updated at 02.00 a.m. that would be nice if your module is getting updated at the same time. so i see each morning the new quote.

      is this possible?

            @pauabaer If you found that entry in an xml file then you’re looking at the wrong module…this one doesn’t have an xml file the quote comes from an xml file but doesn’t look at or use the time from that xml file. This module creates a json file and adds a time stamp to it. It then checks the timestamp of the file it saves.

            Probably what is happening is that it is going out and if the date if different it’s rewriting the file and if the quote hasn’t changed by then it’s just rewriting this file with a new timestamp and not updating as it should.

            I changed the update interval for this you can do a git pull to update and see if that works better.

            This is what it says: “timestamp”:“5/4/2017”

            The only other option is to take the cache out and have it update hourly… so let me look at it and we’ll see. The only problem is that it may change the quote more then daily…

            At any rate I have to actually go to my job… I like eating and having a place to live… my hobby will have to wait until later when I have time to look at it. ;)
