New Plugin - Random Quotes

New "Random Quote" plugin now on market which operates as a standard screen and not a splash screen. https://www.buzztouch.com/plugins/plugin.php?pid=320EA0D16506BC74EE380E4 This plugin allows you to display a random quote on the screen. You can create your own list(s) of quotes, fortunes or facts to display. You can use a local plist or a remote plist. You can choose from 6 different types of Core Animations to transition between quotes. This plugin uses XIB files with 'rotated views' that will rotate and re-position screen elements when the device is rotated. Users can share the quote via EMail, Text, Facebook or Twitter.

Thanks guys. The non splash version of this was for @mysps request ;) I'm thinking I might try to package this with the Splash version or offer both plugins for one price. I have a "Splash" version of the Ken Burns show ready for market as well. I should have expanded the description to note that you can change the font, font size and font color from the control panel. You can also select different font sizes for iphone and ipad devices. That took some time to figure out how to connect to the CP and might be useful for other plugins/devs if they look at the code. The rotated views is also worth looking into. That was inspired by some code JC Evans showed me a while back and what he used in his Weather plugin. It works better on the device than the simulator. I may post a blank version of a plugin that uses that code to my github folks can use as a template if they want to try adding that to their own plugin. It's based on this: http://www.ios-developer.net/iphone-ipad-programmer/development/window-uiviewcontroller-etc/orientation/designing-separate-views-for-landscape-and-portrait -Kershaws NO NO was pretty nice as was Becketts earlier this year. I still harbor Ill feelings for Beckett for those 4 innings of relief in Game 7 back in 2003. Love my Cubbies regardless :)
