> 1. where do i put that code?
To install a plugin, use the backstage>import command to add the
entire tiddler to your document. Make sure to copy ALL of the tiddler
content, not just the 'code' section, and also make sure that your
copy is properly tagged (plugins must be tagged with 'systemConfig'.
Then, you need to save-and-reload the document for the newly imported
plugin to take effect.
In this case, installing the [[QuoteOfTheDayPlugin]] adds a new macro
<<QOTD>> to the available syntax in your document. The full syntax
for the macro is defined in the plugin documentation (see
[[QuoteOfTheDayPluginInfo]])
> 2. what do i put on the other page to activate the code?
By 'other page', I assume you mean the [[MainMenu]] tiddler (or other
tiddler in which you want the 'random link' to appear)... if this is
the case, open the MainMenu tiddler (see the More>Shadowed tab in the
right sidebar) and edit it. Add the following:
<<QOTD MyLinks>>
Then, create another tiddler called [[MyLinks]], containing all the
links you want to pick from, separated by "horizontal rule" lines
("----"), like this:
[[sometext|someurl]]
----
[[sometext|someurl]]
----
[[sometext|someurl]]
----
[[sometext|someurl]]
That's it. Each time the MainMenu is rendered (i.e., when you load
your document) the <<QOTD MyLinks>> macro will randomly select one of
the links listed in [[MyLinks]] and insert it into the MainMenu
display. QED.
