CodeAndReload

<p>This plugin provides the ability to have randomly selected quotes displayed on the admin page, by using a<br />
shortcode or by using a sidebar widget. The quotes include user-entered quotes, and can optionally include<br />
excerpts from a user-chosen category and can also optionally include links from a user-chosen links category<br />
There also is an option for including the lyrics from “Hello Dolly”. The plugin can be used for random<br />
quotes, rotating testimonials, rotating random affiliate links, or random featured posts. It was inspired by<br />
the Hello Dolly plugin (hello.php) that comes bundled with WordPress.</p>

Nice Quotes Rotator

Allows display of random quotes via shortcode, a sidebar widget, and/or on the admin page. Quotes can be user-entered, post excerpts or links.

SuttaFriends.org

<p>The internet is full of fake quotations attributed to the Buddha. By using this plugin you can help spread the actual words of the Buddha with your website visitors.</p>
<p>You can display this quote using a shortcode or a widget. (At the moment, there is no block for this plugin. If you would like to help create one, please contact us!)</p>
<p>There is the option for the citation of the verse to link back to the SuttaFriends.org website so your readers can see the quotation in the context of the whole Dhammapada and have the chance to explore more real Buddha quotes.</p>
<h3>Shortcode</h3>
<p>To include a random Dhammapada in the content of a page or post, simply insert the shortcode</p>
<pre><code>[random-dhammapada]
</code></pre>
<p>To make the citation (e.g. “Dhammapada 20”) link back to the verse on SuttaFriends.org, go to Settings>Real Buddha Quotes</p>
<h3>Inserting into your theme</h3>
<p>If you like to put the quotation somewhere on your website that does not allow shortcodes, you can add this PHP to one of your theme files:</p>
<pre><code>echo random_dhp_shortcode();
</code></pre>
<p>This will insert the quotation. There are no parameters. Only try this if you are familiar with codign in PHP. Always make a backup before changing templates.</p>
<h3>Styling</h3>
<p>Styling of the quotation and the citation is done through css. We recommend the following:</p>
<pre><code>div.random-dhammapada{
    border:solid 1px;
    padding:10px;}

p.rdhp-verse {
    font-style:italic;}

div.rdhp-citation {
    text-align:right!important;}

p.rdhp-attribution, p.rdhp-verse {
    margin-bottom:0px;}

p.rdhp-attribution {
    font-size:.9em;}
</code></pre>
<p>If you like the citation (e.g. Dhammapada 175) to appear on the next line, add this CSS:</p>
<pre><code>.rdhp-cite-link {display:block}
</code></pre>
<h3>Drop cap</h3>
<p>The following code could create a drop cap (first letter larger size).</p>
<pre><code>p.rdhp-verse:first-child:first-letter {
  float: left;
  font-size: 3.5em;
  line-height: 2empx;
  padding-top: .15em;
  padding-right: .1em;
  padding-left: 0px;
</code></pre>
<p>You will need to adjust all of the sizes and test on desktop as well as mobile to make sure it looks correct in different contexts.</p>
