This is an adaptation of the original UNIX fortune program. Fortune will run on OctoPrint login and popup a quote or saying from a database of stored quotes.
I have not created these quotes or sayings, they are simply provided from the source given by Brian M. Clapper as a sample set of fortunes, and Joel Kirchartz for the additional fortune files:
http://software.clapper.org/fortune/
https://github.com/JKirchartz/fortunes
There is an icon that looks like a book on the navigation bar for those that would like a more frequent fortune. This can be turned off in the settings page.
Install via the bundled Plugin Manager or manually using this URL:
https://github.com/berrystephenw/OctoPrint-Fortune/archive/main.zip
This is a Python 3 or greater plugin!
The configuration options available are:
- to enable or disable the icon on the navigation bar
- optionally enable sending your fortune to OctoText. OctoText must be enabled and configured for this feature to work.
- option to use a fixed delay on the fortune popups. The default delay is based on the number of characters in the fortune.
- select the fortune file out of the following list:
- authors
- Chuck Norris facts (chuckfacts)
- Ferengi Rules of Acquisition (it's a Star Trek thing)
- fortunes (the original)
- Jung
- Paine (Thomas)
- Scooter (not my idea)
- showerthoughts
