Description#

With this plugin you can put on your page a random quotation from predefinied list. I use it in my wiki's header section :)

Predefined list is a wiki page with Your favourite golden thoughts in specific format. Every quotation should be put in single line in following format:
*quotation|author
or
*quotation\n

Installation#

• Copy quotation.jar into your wiki's WEB-INF/lib.
• (Optional) Add the package name of the Quotation Plugin (pl.tsz.jspwiki.plugin) to the jspwiki.plugin.searchPath in your WEB-INF/jspwiki.properties. If you don't do that, you have to prefix the plugin name with its package name when using it in your page.
• Restart your servlet engine.
