OK so here is the deal I am using a plugin called stray quotes for a website,http://ohmsgaming.com/quotes-from-last-session/ , It has some really nice functions I can’t find in other plugins like that it has a simple to add quotes to the database etc. Thing is, not only was the styling odd and I had to fix all that. But it only displays text. It doesn’t allow comments for each quote, voting, or sharing. This is something I have been asked to make, and for the life of me I can’t figure out how.
Here are some of my ideas:
Forget the plugin, use wordpress posts instead, make it so only that post type is shown on that page only. This allows comments to be tied in already etc. Problems here are: Styling the post, and only that type, and making it easy to add quotes for admins and users.
Other thought, modify the stray quote plugin, add the functions to allow commenting etc, since it already has the easy to add parts. Problems: Lots of code to have to read, No clue how to make it so when you hit reply it opens a new “page” with the quote and all its comments in paginated form.
So my questions:
Can anyone help me with either of the above. I have looked through tons of stuff and I can’t figure out what to do, there is so many freaking things. The ideal thing would be to have a plugin like stray quotes that had a simple to add quotes section for all; stored them separately from posts; allowed comments(with pagination) and voting; and styled well.
P.S. the WordPress theme I am using is suffusion, which has tons of custom abilities.
Add quotes as a custom taxonomy.
Or simply have post entries with a category of “quote” be output with a different CSS class than normal post entry.
