This plugin is able to read datafiles used by the popular Unix tool fortune and to display a random one. It then replaces the displayed one every few seconds with a new one using an AJAX request.
Download and install the plugin using the Extension Manager. Refer to Plugins on how to install plugins manually.
Just reference a textfile with the correct format with the following syntax:
{{xfortune>namespace:cookiefile.txt}}
You may specify the interval for changing the cookie in seconds:
{{xfortune>namespace:cookiefile.txt?15}}
The default is 30 seconds.
The cookie file needs to be a text file 1) where each cookie is separated by a % char on it's own line. You need to upload those files through the mediamanager.
Here is an example:
% My first cookie % Another cookie with multiple lines % Third cookie %
LF
