Yes, you're supposed to use the same Letters many times. 5 quotes by Nietzsche should all have the letter N, two quotes by Ambrose Bierce should both have the letter B. And so forth and so forth.. :)

Glad you like it. :)

Kura, I don't find an issue with you creating this hack (even if I did the same one before you! ;)). Lesane's is a beautiful hack for those wanting to empower their users to contribute in such a fashion. Others, like yourself and me and others, have other reasons to use the methods we have used. I, for one, am secure in my use of my quote hack over Lesane's that when the attacks came, as they did for you, I just ignored them and carried on with what I'm doing. Kudo's to those who understand that there is more than one way to skin a cat and if it works for you - great! If Lesane's works for you - great!

Thanks for the contribution and let's see some more hacks. :)

Thx Sketch. :)


Okay, I finished the edit & delete functions for the Admin Panel (man, that was 4,3 KB of a now 5 KB quotes.php file!). If anyone wants them before I release it with the Quotes List hack (in a 'package'), contact me by mail or PM.


Also, is anyone interested in me adding support for users to add their quotes and have them under moderation, like Lesane's? (but without the weird complexity of Lesane's hack (I looked at the files, eww) and with the benefit of users not likely to submit a quote that already exists in your database)

If there is a desire for such an add-on ('s really easy, but I'll keep it as an add-on, don't feel like making it an option in the AP > vBulletin Options page) let me know, and I'll write it. I probably will, anyhow, for my own board, but it won't be default in the hack!

haha

had the wrong global..lol!!

Installed and working GREAT!

but i need to find a nice place to put it in the header..lol :)

and no i am not keeping my log like that :D

Well I had a quesiton for KuraFire, or anybody else who wants to answer... how would I make the Admin panel extension of this hack (Which is -not- obsolete in my opinion, this is exactly what we were looking for) continually update row id 1 instead of creating a new row every time, and having it randomly choose it? WE have a weekly saying, and we're only doing it one row to keep it the same.

Help is apreciated!

Erm, how would you want to randomly choose from something that is just 1 row?

I'm having a hard time what exactly you want - if you have only 1 quote that you change weekly, isn't it easier to just toss that in a template and change that, weekly? Cos using a whole quotes system for just 1 quote seems kinda silly, to me...
And if you want multiple quotes, then why do you want to only use the first row???

I used your quote hack, because it's easier for me. I don't really understand the templating system well enough to create templates, nor do I know enough about php/mysql. I know bits and pieces for this kind of stuff.

My main question, is how do I change your admin panel extension to update the same row, over and over again, instead of creating a new quote everytime? (Instead of making new rows, over write the old one every time)

Still looking for help,
Chris
