Hi,

just finished a citation snippet which allows to display german citations from http://www.zitate-online.de/.

To install the module, go to the Addons page in the backend of WebsiteBaker and upload it as usual. Once the upload is finished, you can use the new function: display_citation().

Options available:
echo display_citation(1); ... citation of the day (only text)
echo display_citation(2); ... citation of the day (text + author image)
echo display_citation(3); ... random citation (only text)
echo display_citation(4); ... random citation (text + author image)

Adding CSS to your template
As I like modules which creates valid HTML, XHTML, I decided to outsource the required CSS definitions for displaying the citation to the external file: citation.css (/modules/citation). As WB is not able (at least up to v2.6.5) to import CSS definitions on the fly into the <head> section of index.php in your template folder, you need to do this manually.

Two way to achieve this:
1) copy all CSS definition in citation.css to the CSS file of your template
2) add the following code line to the index.php file of your template (between <head> and </head>

Code:

Have fun
Regards Christian

Hello,

thanks doc, again a very nice snippet for WB. Added it to the addons repository in the miscellaneous category. Unfortunately it seems only to be a snippet for german speaking people.

Hi,

if anybody knows a website like http://www.zitate-online.de, which provides citations in languages other than German, let me know (prefer english). I will than try to integrate that into the snippet.

Hhm, not exactly what I was thinking about. The website http://zitate-online.de provides a service which creates random citations with a image of the author, as well as the citation of the day.
A similar service like this would make things more easy to integrate, but a first comment what is good
