Where you able to have it parse bbcode?

dobbs - I'm not sure about the border. Do you have a backup from the old database? If you do, you can just open it in a text editor and it should be fairly easy to find the sections from the quotes and quoteratings tables. After that you can just run those queries.

Robbed - Yes, that should be working fine. Try it out on my site if want to check.

I don't know what version i had on my old board but i did an "export" of the quote table from phpmyadmin, i then went to the new database and deleted the quote table and did an import. Works fine.

Have you given any thought into making a module for vbadvanced that works on a side column. Seems like i am giving up a lot of screen real estate for one sentence and a name.

I plan on doing a side block template for the random quote but haven't gotten to it yet. Any ideas on what should be taken out to make room?

Most on your site are one line quotes, but the the ones that are quoted don't look like they show up right.

whose site are you talking about, those don't look like quotes from mine?

the side module:
i think all you would need is the quote and author. lose who it was added by, the #, and the "edit /delete / add" links i the nav bar.

If you had one link to the "view all" you could do all the rest of the edit/add/deletes from there. Maybe make the text in the title of the module link to "view all" . This would make it very slim and clean. If you wanted all fancy stuff like ratings you would still have to run it as a center module.

Thanks for pointing that out, Robbed. I already have the code to fix that, I just need to run it.

That sounds pretty good dobbs, but I think I'll try and leave the quote number in, if at all possible, so it's easier to edit/rate/etc.

true, it is small and probably wouldn't have an impact on the size of the module if it was in there

Is this add on available for 3.6.2 yet?

Nope.

I have it installed on 3.6.2
runs fine, no problems

A few questions if you dont mind.

My forum is in Arabic...right to left. Will this be a problem?
Plus its a health forum so eyesight is an issue. Will I be able to control font size?

I really could use this mod for inspirational quotes.

Thank you.

One small thing.

If you can have it show the latest quotes when someone clicks on the quotes page.

Robbed - You'll be able to sort them by date and also view quotes added since the last time you visited.

Kadi - The text direction will use your forum settings. The controls will stay on the right, but you can adjust that and the font size if you edit the css file.

I think someone's already done it.

woah.. how did i miss that, looks perfect

Sounds good.

Thats great. Can't wait to add it to my forum. :)

Man, can we get this for 3.6.3?

Soon.

I made a side block template for vbadvanced. Thanks to jaks, I took his code and frankensteined it to make it look like what I wanted.

will this work with 3.6.2? I've been dying to get a quoter for my forum.

ok I thought I would take a gamble after reading this whole danged thread and install it. I followed the instructions for installing 100% with the exception of addingthe optional template change for the postbit/postbit_legacy and there is nothing. the files are in my ftp, the product is imported but there is nothing for me to edit options, enable or tweak :( I looked in vboptions and there is nothing about a quoter in anything. I'm bummed, my members have been asking for this forever too.

It apparently works if you installed before upgrading to 3.6. Don't worry though, the official 3.6 version is coming up.

i installed into 3.6.2 without any problems, just followed the instructions

braggar! ;)

I cannot wait for the new version, this has been anticipated highly!

Think you could add a feature in the new version?

It would be neat to have an option that either allows or disallows a usergroup to add quotes to the database.

Already done. Real permissions was one of the first items on the list.

Excellent! :)

Looking forward to the VB 3.6.4 version!

how long until the release?

ok by some stroke of something, the quoter I installed magically appeared and started working! I'm so happy! I have a couple questions about it though. In the cp it asks about average threshold? What does that mean? I left both of those numbers at 0 until I find out what to do from here. Also, the quoter is under my shoutbox, is there a way to bring it higher up on the forum index, like maybe under the banner or something? And last question (for now), i there any way to remove the bars and box that surround the quot itself, so that it's just the text on the screen instead of a box? Like the words are floating (sort of)? Thanks! If you would like to take a look check it out at www.theneighborhoodpub.com

The average and total threshold are the minimum average and total rating that a quote must have to show up as the random quote. To move the random quote, just move the $showrandomquote variable in your FORUMHOME template. If you want it to look different, you have to edit the quote_randomquote template.

thank you for your response. I embarrassingly admit that I have no clue how to change templates or any of the like. I only find the text specified and then paste whatever text is required lol. I don't venture on my own in the templates at all simply because I have no clue. What specifically would I need to edit or delete to make the quoter look like I want?

Well $randomquote[quote] contains the quote and $randomquote[author] contains the author, so you could use just those two things. I suggest you find an HTML tutorial somewhere on the Internet and then you can adjust it better.

For this being my very first hack I installed all on my own, it worked great!!!

I even managed to make the quoter visible to only certain usergroups and in one specific forum as well.

THANK YOU!!!

I'm itching to install this. Any idea when it might be ported to 3.6.4?

just install it, it'll work

According to the Cap'n himself, it only works on 3.6 if you installed it on 3.5 before upgrading (see the previous page...)

That's just what I've heard. I don't have 3.6 installed anywhere yet.

I installed it on 3.6.2 and t's working beautifully for me. I do have a question about moderating quotes. How do you do it? I don't understand what the threshold and average threshold are and how to set them, I don't know how to moderate the quotes in that is there a que somewhere that I can view to decide what gets used and what doesn't? Sorry to sound so lame, but can someone teach me how to use this LOL!

thanks!
