here are instructions for 6.0005 I dont know if it works in 6.1.1

1) Place string

$_page_cont[$_ni]['daily_quotes'] = quote_get();

after

$_page_cont[$_ni]['promo_code'] = getPromoCode();

in templates/tmpl_uni/scripts/index page.

2) Add string

<div style="width:754px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">__daily_quotes__</div>

to the templates/tmpl_uni/page_1.html file after __include _footer.html__.

Correct style settings of this block see more if you need.

hello,

unfortunately the index page that you mentioned as the first step "templates/tmpl_uni/scripts/index page" doesn't exist in that folder(templates/tmpl_uni/scripts).. Any idea?

OK here is how you can do it,

1, go to your main dolphin directory and edit index.php, find: this line:

$_page_cont[$_ni]['promo_code'] = getPromoCode();

2. just after the above code add the following code:

$_page_cont[$_ni]['daily_quotes'] = quote_get();

3, go to templates/tmpl_uni/page_1.html

4, find __promo_code__

5, just after it, add the following code:

<div style="width:754px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">__daily_quotes__</div>

should see more work now in 6.1.1

Forgot to say, you can change the width from 745px to fit the with of your page.

Tango3d's solution given here did not work for me in 6.1.4.

It worked on our site at: www.truckingspace.com

Used this code:

<div style="width:754px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;">__daily_quotes__</div>
