Simple Random Quotation

This plugin displays a random quotation upon page load pulled from a simple .csv file. You can provide any .csv file you like it should be of the format: source, “Quotation”

There are token css classes/ids to allow you to style the quotations however you like. The HTML outputed looks like this:

Dante Alighieri:

There is no greater sorrow than thinking back upon a happy time in misery.

You just need to add a #quotationSource and a #randomQuotation CSS rules or just let the chips fall where they may.

This is my first WordPress plugin it isn’t terribly clever. I eventually looked at the original plugin, hello.php and combined with my experience writing mashups just cranked it out.

1. Upload simpleRandomQuotation to the /wp-content/plugins/ directory
2. Activate the plugin through the ‘Widget’ menu in WordPress by dragging it to your Dynamic Sidebar
3. Then provide a file path or URL to the .csv file that contains your quotations
