-[ description ]-
 
This is the WordPress plugin version of the “Random, Out-of-Context fj Quote-Thing.” As can probably be figured from the title, it displays a random quote from a text file (by default, the “fjquotes.txt” file on my site) in the upper right of your admin screen on every page. The concept (and, indeed, much of the code, simple as it is) is ripped off from the “Hello Dolly” plugin by Matt Mullenweg that ships with WordPress.

-[ installation ]-

  1. Download the file fj-plugin.zip and unzip it into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
    -OR-
    Copy and paste the the code (fj-plugin.phps) into a file called fj-plugin.php, and put that file into your /wp-content/plugins/ directory.
  2. OPTIONAL: Edit fj-plugin.php to call the correct text file of quotes (one per line). By default, this is set to the “fjquotes.txt” file that accompanies the non-plugin version of this project. You could change it to a local file (or any other text file; this would be ideal for Bible verses or whatever, if you’re into that sort of thing). If you copy the “fjquotes.txt” file to your server and change the path in the plugin, this will work. However, as new quotes are added to the main “fjquotes.txt” file, you won’t get them. It’s up to you.
  3. Activate the plugin from your WordPress admin ‘Plugins’ page.
