Does anyone have a Random Quote Extension?

I wish to take some Time events from history for that year and display them at random.

There is a random quote script in 'Ready-to-use-Javascripts'

That will not work only because I need room, for a paragraph.

In that case, you will need a custom script.

Does anyone in the forum do this type of work?

I just have a colored text box at this time sample:

There are more events each year than just one

I have looked at your code for that extension, and it looks nice clean, and to the point. It just needs more space for each paragraph, and a bit of color, like the above sample.

A Rich Text Box\Carousel would work also.

Just curious, couldn't you just use the regular built in Carousel object for this?

I was playing with that tonight, and it was not working within the grids.

Not sure if there is a setting for it or not.

But if I can get that working, that would work.

I figured it out, I will implement it tomorrow after a bit more experimenting.

So you want a random quote or paragraph text shower of the events or so just long texts with a yellow background, and it will randomly show text paragraphs old and new all of them randomly when people visit your website right?

I found a solution.

Using a carousel
