    The time a quote is displayed is determined by the length of the quote. The quote will display for a shorter or longer than normal time depending on the gallery speed setting. For example the fastest setting is (length/18), the slowest (length/6).

    The timer minimum is useful when the quote is too short to get enough display time to be effective. If a quote will only display for 1 second because it is very short, this setting will force it to display for the minimum so it has time to be read.

    The gallery is currently set to min-width: 400px; min-height: 600px;. That certainly seems an area that could have the css improved to accommodate more restricted sizes. It was mainly intended to be used in a larger area than a widget. Perhaps using a percentage on that would be better, although I think perhaps this is an area I’ve struggled with before. I’ll see what I can do with that.

    As far as splitting a div into 3 separate sections, off the top of my head something like this might work: http://oooorgle.com/test
    HTML/PHP:

    <div id="uid-footer">
    	<div class="uid-left-col">
    		<?php echo do_shortcode( '[quotes-llama]' ); ?>
    	</div>
    
    	<div class="uid-center-col">
    		<?php echo do_shortcode( '[quotes-llama]' ); ?>
    	</div>
    
    	<div class="uid-right-col">
    		<?php echo do_shortcode( '[quotes-llama]' ); ?>
    	</div>
    </div>

    CSS:

    #uid-footer {
    	
    	width: 100%;
    	margin: 0 auto;	
    }
    
    .uid-left-col,
    .uid-center-col,
    .uid-right-col {
        float: left;
        width:33%;
    }

    I’ll be getting back to you soon.

    For the time being have you considered or trying just a few of [quotes-llama]? It doesn’t refresh but it does pull a new and separate random selection for each instance.

    Are the areas (3) where the quotes display on your site widgets? If so then you could add 3 instances of the quotes-llama widget instead of placing a short-code in each of the 3 widget areas. I hope that makes sense. I assume they would be named something like footer1, footer2, footer3 or something similar in your admin panel->appearance->widgets page.

    I see what you mean. I may have a more difficult time than usual getting those to work this way. Had the same problem with widgets and was able to get those working but the gallery uses javascript to format the divs… basically I need to figure out how to pass dynamic class names to javascript. I will let you know what I am able to accomplish in the next few days. Thanks for the heads up!

    Hi Annie! Assuming you are calling the gallery using quotes-llama mode=’gallery’ you should be able to simply add another quotes-llama mode=’gallery’ where you would like the next gallery to appear. I have not thoroughly tested using multiple galleries so if you run into any problems or it doesn’t work for you do let me know. Thanks.

    P.S. The gallery isn’t very customize-able at the moment. Do share what ideas you have regarding improving it.

    Yes, it will include an image if you provide the url in the “Image Address” field for the link. It is just above the “RSS Address” field. Let me know, thanks!

    Hi Cobberas63, Those buttons were just added into the plugin today actually. I visited the link you provided and it works for me… both in Firefox and Internet Explorer.

    At the moment I am unsure what would cause that for you. Could you give some more info like what device you are using, be it a browser or phone, was this an update or new install?

    Perhaps give this link a try and let me know if it works for you on my test site: http://oooorgle.com/test

    Thanks!

    Updated to 0.6.5. It looks like the only inline styling left on the front-end were those source fields. Depending on how you are calling the plugin ***(page, widget, gallery) you will find a ‘quotes-llama-***-source’ styling element in the respective .css file. If you happen to notice anything funky with these changes, let me know. I really appreciate everyone’s suggestions!

    Updated to 0.6.5… Hoping to hear what you think of the prev/next buttons.

    I was not yet able to work out the :active styling. The issue I am having is that we use jQuery to populate the page quotes and it seems that for the :active to apply, it seems to require the page to load again. I think I will mark this topic as resolve but will keep this on the to-do list for future research. Cheers!

    You are very welcome! If you feel so inclined, I certainly consider suggestions for improvements. Ideas or even examples are certainly welcome.

    Plugin Author oooorgle

    (@oooorgle)

    You are correct! It would be better to have the ‘source’ formatting in a class rather than inline. I will get those worked into the next release.

    I separated the css to improve page-load since only portions are used depending on the page. Unfortunately any changes you make will be overwritten on updating. I recommend backing up those files you make changes to. As far as me changing styling to the plugin itself, the change-log should mention whenever I do. Checking that should let you know if you need to just copy your backup back or update it first. There really is no slick solution to tweaking a plugin and having it update without breaking those changes.

    Let me know what you think and I’ll update this log when I get caught up. Thanks!

    Finally getting time for this… I have the selection buttons working. I would appreciate your opinion for placement and such before I update. example

    I always struggle with CSS and am not getting the a:active to work quite the way I think it should. It highlights the active on mouse-down but doesn’t retain it. Still working on that part too.

    Thanks!

    Hi Michael, in your admin panel you should have a links section where you can add websites and their RSS feed. There is an RSS Address field in the links form under the Advanced section towards the bottom. If you populate this with a valid RSS url then you should see that site show up in the plugin page.

    I hope I’ve explained well enough. Let me know if nor or you have further questions. Thanks!

    Hi Greenery, it simply selects a random out of the group using SQLs random RAND() function. If you happen to have any suggestions on a more efficient way I’m open to ideas. Thanks!

    Your first (“active”) request should be real easy to accommodate. The second is something I have done before in one of my other plugins. It shouldn’t be very difficult to get the same sort of thing working here.

    Excellent ideas as always Salvatore, added them to my to-do… thanks!
