CANCELED: I have sold my licenses and will no longer release addons for vBulletin. I have found a new forum software that is currently in alpha testing. I plan to use it and convert all addons to it. Thank you all for your support and use of my addons. Sorry if I did not deliver exactly what you all wanted but when a great product becomes crappy then I bail before I lose anymore money in it.

Thanks and good luck to you all
Steve M

Wonderful and distinct graet hake .... installed

[mbc100]

thank u

[Mythotical]

thank u

Your welcome

[MagicThemeParks]

I'm going to definitely use this one on more than one site! :)

[goxy63]

Tagged, nominated, rated...will install asap

Just an idea

Iam having one thread where users are posting famous quotes, so if famous quotes which they posted within thread could be displayed in this way .... that would be more than cool by my opinion...where all txt would be a link to original post

But even as it is now is great

Thanks

[Mythotical]

Good idea goxy63, I will look into doing that.

[chick]

This works quite nicely and members can contribute... thank you.

[bing11]

thanks it works for vb 4.0?

[Vinyljunky]

The quotes dont appear on my site, maybe because Im using TMS ?

[Mythotical]

bing11: I am currently updating it to work with vB4.0

Vinyljunky: That is possible, try disabling TMS and see if it works then.

Im afraid thats not feasible as TMS is a core widget for me :o

[Mythotical]

Link me to TMS and I will try to get a work around done for it.

[grey_goose]

Very cool, especially letting users contribute. So... how to add this to vba_cmps? :D Love to see it under the navbar there.

[MagicThemeParks]

Noticed you listed a 'future' item as "Rework the display of quotes". Where would we edit the look of it until you change it up?

I was thinking of just having the actual quote and no 'box' or anything on it. Any tips on how to make that happen?

I haven't installed it yet, but just making sure that it would work that way.

[Mythotical]

I plan to to remove the box and leave an option for users to choose from 4 different displays, one with a custom background, one with the box, no box, and one with quotation marks around it. Right now though, you edit the template bfc_quote:

Find:
class="tcat", class="tborder", class="alt1" or class="alt2"

Remove that and you have it set up with no box.

[MagicThemeParks]

Oh, I think that I want the option with the quotation marks (maybe some slightly oversized ones to emphasize it) and then the author's name in bold.

I just installed it and it works perfectly. Now, just have to customize the look of it :)

Thanks for this great mod Steve! :up:

[MagicThemeParks]

Alright, did some customization by changing the width to 75%, adding the bold around the author name and then adding some custom quotation marks around it. See attachment :)

Not sure if I want to keep the box long term or not, but I'll keep working on it and see what I settle on.

Edited: Hmm....kinda like it without the table. See 2nd attachment. I'll keep working with this. I love the mod. Thanks again! :up:

[Mythotical]

Very nice, MagicThemeParks, if you could send me those images, I would love to use the quotation images which I'm not even sure they are images. Saves me some time. hehe

[MagicThemeParks]

Steve, PM sent in just a bit

[Mythotical]

Thanks, replied to your PM.

[Mythotical]

I am currently working on a version that will interact with Template Modification System flawlessly. So far no bugs or errors so I may be releasing v1.5.1.

[asuccar]

Will this work with vb4.0?

[Mythotical]

asuccar: As stated before, no this will not work with 4.0 as I will have to update this mod. I plan to update this to 4.0 once I have released the new version here in the next few days.

[asuccar]

Sorry to bug u on this Steve, but any updates?

[Mythotical]

Still updating, added a few new features, not much more left to do before it is finished though.

Oh I REALLY like that I hope those quote marks are PNG's so they look nice on all background colors, now how specifically do I do that and can I get those images??? It looks great and I am not that savvy so I need some help.
+++++
Is there anyway to access a quote.php page where all the quotes are together for everyone to see?

[MagicThemeParks]

chick,

Steve is already working on those changes and they will be 'built-in' once he gets the update out. I'd wait until his update, this way you don't have to do edits all of the time when upgrading.

The images are png so that they show nicely on any background. :)

Good idea of the page with all (or a random 25 or something) quotes! :up:

[MagicThemeParks]

Steve,

I just got an error when attempting to edit an existing quote....

Database error in vBulletin 3.8.4:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE bfc_quotes
SET quote = 'There's a lady who shows
all that glitters is gold.
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.', username = 'ArnyVee'
WHERE id = '1' LIMIT 1;

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's a lady who shows
all that glitters is gold.
And she's buying a stairway to h' at line 2


....looks like it had something to do with the use of the apostrophe. I took out the apostrophe marks and the quote was able to be saved. Can you make sure that it gets corrected when you do the next update? :)

[chick]

cool, I am watching this thread... thanks so much I like this very much and members can participate in this mod on a site which they seem to really like. Thanks again I await the update. :)

[Mythotical]

Thanks MagicThemeParks, I have seen this error before. I am pushing for an early release but I don't want to put a date as I ran into an issue with the quote box showing where it should.

[Ski-Whiz]

I'm getting an error from the SQL side..

I added a quote and put the quotation's in there. When I previewed on my forumhome, I noticed that I didn't need to as it adds them. So there were double quotes..

So I went to the manage quotes, and tried to remove them. Here's what I got:

Invalid SQL:
UPDATE bfc_quotes
SET quote = 'There's nothing frustrating about this win for me, ... we just beat a good football team.', username = 'Jack Del Rio'
WHERE id = '1' LIMIT 1;

MySQL Error : You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near 's nothing frustrating about this win for me, ... we just beat a good football te' at line 2
Error Number : 1064


Anyone else run into this yet? I assume others will add quotation marks to their submitted quotes... It's a simple mistake.

[Mythotical]

It is a bug that I have fixed in the new version, I just haven't finished the latest features to release. Been bogged down with a lot but as soon as I can I will get an update released.

[MagicThemeParks]

Sounds good Steve! :up:

We'll be waiting patiently for the update ;)

[Rafa-el]

As and admin, I cant view quotes or Add quotes :?

And, where can I edit the usergroups who can view quotes?

Thanks

Did you set the usergroups correctly with permission?

admincp >> usergroups >> usergroup manager >> click "go" next to usergroup you'd like to change permissions on

Then, scroll down until you find: BFC-Quote Permissions

Hope that helps :up:

Good Now :up:

Thanks :)

[asuccar]

Any updates on new version?

[Mythotical]

Sorry no updates as of yet. Its slow going for me right now, unemployed plus night classes plus family = time is rare

[kalisekj]

did you fix the problem of being able to show colors in the quotes?

[kalisekj]

if you add the capability of bb codes in the quotes this will truly expand the usability for this mod

[Mythotical]

BBCode being used is in the new version. Also adding a color option for the box itself as well. Font color I haven't quite figured out yet so you would need to hard code the color of the font you want.

I am going to try for a May 1st release of an update. I want to release the new version and 4.0 version at the same time.

[MagicThemeParks]

Good to hear Steve! :up:

Keep up the good work and we're looking forward to the new version! :)

[ShawneyJ]

tagged, this will be good for my forum thanks.

[MagicThemeParks]

Steve, it's been a couple of months since the last update. Any new updates or news for us?

[Mythotical]

I actually have it finished, just need to clean up the stuff that I was going to use then changed my mind. I will try to get a release out in the coming week.

[career]

Steve M , thanks for this mod. I like it!
How about possibility to view all quotes on separate page?
Rating of quotes?

[MagicThemeParks]

Thanks for the update Steve! :up:

Oooo....good suggestions career. All quotes on a separate page and the rating of quotes would be cool things to offer :)

[Mythotical]

I am releasing the updated version. I can guarantee it will have some bugs and possibly missing a feature or two. Best way to get things pretty up is by just releasing under a beta title.

[ricardoNJ]

No works fine with my skin: uninstalled :(

[Mythotical]

Ok that doesn't help me. I need to know if you followed all instructions and installed as stated in the first post.

[apiasto]
