Bushism’s Plugin

*goes off laughing to install it everywhere*

Thanks! Made my day….

That is just priceless! Sadly I rely on Dub’yah for my botched quotes kicks, as our new Prime Minister here is far too boring to say anything funny at all – he even shakes his childrens’ hands when dropping them off at school and they’re like 8 years old!

Thanks, you’ve also made my day!

You know what’s really scary…. not the fact that he does this, but that he does it so often that there’s at least 365 of them….

One of our former PM’s, who didn’t really speak english or french, had a book devoted to his quotes, “Quotations from the Chairman”, I think it had multiple volumes too! Any speeches he gave usually left the english-to-french and the french to english translators (not to mention the signer) looking like deer in headlights!

I do have a plug-in question, are all the sayings hard-coded in or are they parsed from a text file somewhere?

Hard-coded into the bushisms.php file…. Hm. I wonder if I want to consider using this in an upcoming “learn to build a database app” class?

Yup. I think I do. I do believe I’ll go ask permission.

I think we might have had a shared thought there! I know other quotations plug-ins exist, but I don’t think I’ve found one that lets you use your own list of quotes! Do any like that exist?

Yes. McMike’s Random Quote one, and there’s another one I can’t remember the name of (kickass uses it as preference – I’ll have to ask her….)

McMike’s from: https://www.mcmike.nl – let me know if it’s not still there, I’ll make a download addy available. I run this one everywhere. Easy to use, works with all versions, extremely easy to add quotes….

Actually, there’s a ton of them here: https://www.wp-plugins.net/ (click on “Features”)

I think the “witty” one is the one kickass likes.

This Bushism one is excellent! Thank you ??

vkaryl: My Dutch is a little rusty (ie, so rusty it does not exist), if you could post a link that would be wonderful!

Thank you!

Sure: https://bytehaven.com/tmp/qotd.zip

Now, this comes with only one quote (one of Mike’s) to start. If you don’t have a ready-made store of your own, I’d be happy to donate a few….

Here’s the one I use — stores quotes in db table: https://www.zombierobot.com/wp-quotes/

I might have to add some of these bushisms… from a different source, of course!

Thanks to the both of you! I like the McMike plug-in because it outputs plain text (makes for less banging of my head on the desk)!

Vkaryl, a donation would be great! If it would be easier to email to me, you can send it to michaelniziol at gmail.com. Is your “It’s broke and I don’t know when it won’t be broke” quote in there??

GRATIAS·TIBI·AGO

No, it’s not, you know I forgot all about adding that one! I will do, and email you some….

Yes, V, it was witty quotes I used. Uses a .txt flatfile instead of a mysql db.
