Plugin Documentation
Plugin settings page
The plugin settings page allows you to configure more accurately the behaviour of Spanish quote of the Day notwithstanding, the configuration is very simple, just a few paramters.
- Quotes length
- Asynchronous mode
- Using filter the_content
- Additional CCS
Quotes Lenght
In former versions, the maximum length for quotes was a constant (275 characters), but from versión 1.2.2+, this parameter is a variable so, you can modify it through the plugin settings page in the admin screen. We usually suggest a maximum length below 350 characters but, now, you can decide.
This new parameter controls the maximun length of the quotes that you want to receive, ie, all the fetched quotes will be shorter than this length. You can change this length several times until find the best value for a correct integration with your theme.
Technically, this parameter creates a new variable that’s included inside the oembed call to the Todopensamientos.com database but this issue is not important for you, Spanish Quote of the Day works automaticaly so, just change the length and forget it.
Asynchronous Mode
See the technical information section for the documentation about the Asynchronous Mode.
The filter the_content
From version 1.3.0+, for a better integration with WP themes, Spanish Quote of the Day also includes a new parameter that allows you to format the text of the quotes in the same way that the content of your posts are formatted by WordPress.
This new paramter is not mandatory, it’s optional so, you must only set this parameter as checked if you do want that the quotes looks like a post… With adding paragraph, general formatting, unicode characters translation and control, etc.
You decide to use it but, better, check you this parameter and see the results on the screen.
Additional CSS
For a better integration with all kinds of WP themes, as default, Spanish Quote of the Day has just a minimum styles to format the standard output.
/* Spanish Quotes mínimun styles */
#cool-quote { display:block; margin: 1em 0; }
.quote-text, .author-tag { line-height: 1.45; /* added in 1.3.0 version */ }
.quote-author-link a {font-style:italic }
.quote-credits { display:block; font-variant:small-caps; font-weight: bold; font-size: 0.9em }
It’s a very simple styling, I know it, but it’s to improve an ease integration of Spanish Quote of the Day with your theme styles without any additional coding. However, from version 1.2.2+, Spanish Quote of the Day includes a new parameter that allows you to write your own styles…
Your custom styles
So now, it’s not necessary to enqueue additional .css files for styling your quotes, but you can go directly to the plugin settings page in the WordPress Admin’s screen > Setting > Quote of the Day and add your own CSS styles in the Style Options tab.
Write you your own styles and see the results.
