If you want to add your random quotes thingy to your homepage I recommend that you hardcode it, don't use the external pages admin tool.

If you're using the custom_index plugin you can go to the following:

mod/custom_index/views/default/canvas/layouts/new_index.php

Add the following where you want it to appear:

<?php

$quotes = array(

"Quote1",

"Quote2",

"Quote3",

);

echo $quotes[rand(0, count($quotes) - 1)];

?>

That should do the trick. However from my experience I could never get the array to take php or elgg_echos only standard html.

Good luck!

@Trajan, how can i set the text changes in seconds???

Thank you...

Hi sorry, didn't see this response. It's php not javascript so it happens each time a page is loaded or refreshed.

@Dhrup thanks Ill try that out

@imcobarn -  Make sure keep a record of your changes in case you upgrade because you know any changes to core code will be gone unless you use a plugin to achieve this. Just a thought

How is this done in 1.7.1? \riverdashboard\views\default\riverdashboard\post.php doesn't exit there anymore. Modifying /mod/thewire/views/default/thewire/activity_view.php allows posts of longer length to be entered, but it's not sufficient to display them on the wire.
