Random Quotes

[Ray]

Try using:

include "quote/randomquote.php";

see if that works.

or perhaps try

require("quote/randomquote.php");

with and without the leading slash before the word "quote".

NO no work here also -- will look at ir more later

Ray,

in the file randomquote.php make sure you have a path set similar to this:

Code Select Expand


$random = true;    
$directory = "/home/www/public_html/forum/quote/"; 
$quotefile = "randomquote.inc";
$quotecountfile = "displayquote.inc";


Leave

• $quotefile
  and
  
• $quotecountfile
  
  as it looks here, and it should work.
  
  crip~

Tried this

Code Select Expand

$random = true;
$directory = "/rranderson/arcade/quote/";    //Put the correct path//
$quotefile = "randomquote.inc";         //Add all quotes in this file in one line//
$quotecountfile = "displayquote.inc";   //This counts quotes, could be optionable if random is set false//
No work -- I always get that same error -- all files are located in the quote folder

Last try:

  $directory = "/home/rranderson/public_html/arcade/quote/";
  
  Hope you get it working RayR.

Im not on a linux computer I use windows with IIs so that may be the problem.. the paths are different. For me it is d:\rranderson\arcade\quote -- umm maybe I will try that path

[crip]

tried that also - here is the error

Code Select Expand

$number-1){ // If ran out of quotes, start again! $num=0; } if (file_exists($directory.$quotecountfile)) { $nu = fopen ($directory.$quotecountfile, "w"); fputs($nu,$num); } else { die("Cant Find $quotecountfile"); } } // display the quote on the page echo "$quotes[$num]"; ?>

I played with this a long time and I know nothing about code but was getting the same error that ray has here, basically showing the code from randomquote.php instead of a quote.  I got it to work by doing this:

$directory = "./quote/";    //Put the correct path// 

and this

include "./quote/randomquote.php";

why that works I have no idea  :laugh:

maybe something to do with server setting?

great little mod, I love it 

thanks alot
