That did not seem to do anything for me. I must admit though that I've been working on an attempt of my own to implement a new module, but so far have not been succesful. I might have accidently messed up the template in the process.

Once again, though, thanks for all your help and effort. By far the best support I've seen on any mod.

I edited the plugin in the previous post, try uploading it again. I included some code that might give me a little more information, but if this doesn't help, I'm running out of ideas.

Man, you're going to hit me or something, but I figured it out.

When looking at the main options, I noticed it stated something in the field for the Portal Output Global Variables, that one page (which would be my portal) was not configured to use the default.

After I added the showrandomquotes to the variables list there, it worked. I need to figure out the proper layout to use, but at least things seem to finally work :)

I'm feeling all embarrassed now for it bieng so obvious, and having wasted your time like that :(

Yeah, I knew it had to be something simple I wasn't seeing. Glad you got it working!

I still have a problem with unapproved quotes being viewable to all members - has anyone had this problem and found a fix?

:)

I don't know what would cause that problem. Try re-saving your QuoteIt! options, and your usergroup permissions. If that doesn't work, enable debug mode and then view the quotes page on a non-moderator account, show the queries being run and post any quotes related queries that you see.

It's only with the random quote on the index page where the unapproved quotes show. I have three boards that have used quote it for years with the same problem. I did a clean install of vb and QuoteIt and got the same thing happening.

Here are the quote-related queries on the index page:


SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM quotes AS quotes WHERE quotes.average >= 0 AND quotes.rating >= 0

SELECT quotes.*, categories.title AS category, users.username FROM quotes AS quotes
LEFT JOIN user AS users ON quotes.userid = users.userid
LEFT JOIN quotecategories AS categories ON categories.categoryid = quotes.categoryid WHERE quotes.average >= 0 AND quotes.rating >= 0 LIMIT 281, 1

SELECT rating AS yourvote FROM quoteratings WHERE quoteid = 575 AND userid = 6370

Thanks Steve :) I love QuoteIt, whether regular members see the spam or not ;) :)

Ok, try this. In includes/functions_quoteit.php find this

and above that, add this

Has anyone tried this mod out with VB4.0?

That seems to be working now - at least on my test board. Thank you so much Steve! You're awesome - much appreciated! :)

I'd be very surprised if it worked on vB4 without any changes.

Cap'n Steve,
Are you open to financial incentives to update this mod for vb4?

Thanks, but that's not really the issue. I just don't have the time right now to give it the attention it needs, especially since the licensing changes mean that I'm probably going to stop using vBulletin completely.

Steve, this is sad news indeed. QuoteIt! is one of a handful of modifications which I deem essential to my vBulletin installation. Will you be permitting another developer to take over this modification? Unfortunately, I am not talented enough to offer this service myself. I have invested in VB4 already but will not be upgrading until key modifications are compatible (not to mention remaining bugs and shortcomings).

I receive the following errors on forumhome when I enable QuoteIt! within an upgraded test installation:
Executing quotes.php results in the following:
Note that the page resolves normally after these error messages, though the style format is heavily broken when viewing the quotes page.

Viewing a post with an embedded quote displays the following, with no page resolution thereafter:
Does anyone know where to start with resolving these issues?

Although it is very basic, I've started to use this mod now: https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=230010

Steve, I understand about the licensing issues with vB as I'm also sticking with 3.8x until the 'end of life'. I'm testing out other forum software in the meantime to see which way I'd like to move. Good luck to you! :up:

I edited the original post and posted a link in the Private Coders Discussion forum a while ago to see if anyone was interested in taking over the mod. No takers so far. :(

I guess they changed the way you use templates. Unfortunately, I have no idea what specific changes they made.

Thanks works perfect using vb 3.8.4
Really like it

thanks for the mod gonna try it soon

I have a strange layout problem in IE8.
Please check the attachment.
The quotation-close.png is off place.
Does anyone have any clue how this can be solved?

I'm not sure what causes that, but it happens in some versions of IE. The only way I could solve it was to hide the closing quotation mark.

Could it have something to do with cascading style sheets?
I know IE is not very good in interpreting those.
But I'm sorry to say I have no knowledge of CSS....

I've found the problem and as I suspected it's in the style sheets.
I edited three style elements in quoteit_main.css and now the layout is acceptable in IE8, Firefox, Safari and Chrome.
Note: this what I found acceptable. You may not like it. So if you're going to try it out, make sure you back-up the original css file. That way you can always revert to the original style.

Here's what I've cooked up:

i get this error when i try to delete

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/quotes.php on line 726
and a db error

Thanks for the updated CSS, S@NL - BlackBik.

lovegirl - What version of vBulletin are you using?

i use 3.8

I don't know what the problem is, but try deleting each quote individually using the "delete this quote" link. That should work.

thats what i'm doing , and i had an old version 2.1 i think, it worked perfectly , since i upgrade it , it gives that error i don't know whats wrong but i hope this one will get fixed cause its nicer and it has more options :( . if i back up would this error affect it or no on restore ?
thanks for support and your time

PS: this is the full error hope it will help to be fixed
Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in [path]/quotes.php on line 726


Database error in vBulletin 3.8.5:

That's weird, so the quote is getting deleted, right? It just seems to have an error displaying the page after the deletion. Try using the checkboxes and dropdown menu to delete quotes.

Any plans for a vB4 release?

Or does anyone know of a similar mod for vB4 that could be used as a replacement? I've been using this great mod for a Poster of the Month competition for the past years, with members quoting posts, and the one with the most votes winning that member the month's title.

Qdbs(www.qdbs.org)

Is there a converter for QdbS to QuoteIt!?

I don't think Capn Steve is going to update it, as per his posts. Hopefully someone else will take over this great mod (I've been using it for years, and had to stop because I'm using vb4...). A lot of my users have been wondering where it went.

+1 to a request for VB4 version of this mod...

Ajax voting feature doesn't work properly when quote placed in forumhome page.
Can anyone help?

Need 4.x.x version

This is a GREAT community-building mod because you use quotes from your own users. Can someone PLEASE resurrect it for VB4? I still have the data and quotes in my database.

If I could write code I'd be all over this but I don't have a clue.

Anyone??

Yes... this is re-usable code. Who wants to take on a new version to support v4.x?

Does anyone know how it would be possible to remove some queries this adds to forumhome? I checked and it apparently adds a massive FIVE queries to that page. Surely there's a way to trim that down, for anyone adept at coding.

Wow, still no VB 4.X.X version.

We need this back!!

Yes, please!

Can somebody code a vb 4.x version?

Would be nice...

Someone needs to update this. One of the mods that builds community.
