I've done it - I created my first mod called "Quotes" for 202 which is for collecting quotes - hard work - because I am noob and the template I used for was hard for me to modify.
This mod allows member to create a quote where he has to enter the name, date of birth/death, his profession and of course - the quote - also he has to enter a pic - it works with english and german language.
See: http://inti31.cwsurf.de/smf/index.php?action=quotes (just a testforum, maybe online or not...)
Looks like that
(http://s19.postimage.org/c6d3g9aen/Quote_Collection.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/c6d3g9aen/) (http://s19.postimage.org/8b9pdor8v/Quote_Collection1.jpg) (http://postimage.org/image/8b9pdor8v/)
So what I need/ would like to have is a block which shows just one (random) quote for the top or bottom block - or 2 (random) quotes for the header or footer
I hope it is allowd to attach my mod here for people are willing to help out in this matter - maybe this one is also useful for other people
thanks in advance

I wanted quotes for my forum.
I installed the pagan verse mod and adapted it to the way I wanted.

Means you are able to enter own verses and save them as or in a textfile somewhere?
Have you done it all manaually or did you create an "own" mod with all your changes?
if so - yo are willing to share it?
I want - like I did - a special page for members where they can save their verses - I just asked for help if it is possible to get a randomized solution which shows in a pretty looking frame one vers in a block - or just the author and the qote itself
The data in my solution is stored in table{db_prefix}quotes. The pic is stored in /attachments start with qu_<hashvalue>.extension like jpg, png,...

There are two template files which you as admin have to edit.
The mod does explain which files.
I have a topic on my forum where members can add quotes from which I pick the best ones.

Great work Inti31 and nice Idea, Old Fossil.
Some weeks ago, i have the idea to make the things more easy. And a good resource for more quotes. unfortunately, i have not enough PHP-Coding skills...
My idea was to make a small icon next to the "report to moderator"-Link. And if some member, found a good quote/phrases/sentences/whatever in a regular post from other member, he can mark this words, press the button and than the admin will see this in a list.
In this list he can choose the best quotes or enter quotes themself.
i add some pictures, maybe u understand better what i mean...
Maybe somebody can do a mod for this - or we can collect some money and lets do a pro his job !?
