Joke of the day script

[GeXus]

Does anyone know where I could find a joke of the day script? I have about 500 jokes each in an individual text file. I just want a script where I can set what directory the text files are in and have it display the content randomly, once per day.

Thanks!

Go to G and type in joke of the day script.

hotscripts.com is a good one too.

Thanks, Yeah i tried both of those, couldnt seem to find one though.

Do you want to pick a new joke every day, or every page load?

[dreamcatcher]

Have you thought about writing your own script?

Why not just load your jokes into an array and then just pull one random joke? Shouldn`t be too hard to do. :)

Unless you don't know any good jokes ;)

You may try doing a search for "quote of the day script" also. I set one of these up once (being a clueless programmer), and I imagine it would work fine for your application too.

I would do as dreamcatcher said above, only here I specify a bit more how you do it:

1. Modify a dirlist script to find only the jokes..
2. Move all jokes to a /jokes/ or something..
3. Use COUNT() on the array which has the list of jokes
4. Define a start date (CONSTANT) in your script
5. Find difference between today and the startdate
6. Parse the joke[difference_between_today_and_startdate], IF difference_between_today_and_startdate <= num_of_jokes, else: start over

Go to Google and type:
"joke of the day" +script

It's the fifth find on "search all".

Have a nice day!
