Cap'n
Could point me to the area where I need to edit and I will see if I can follow the bbcode parsing tutorial? I'll post how I make out good or bad. :S

I'm not a coder at all and I know you said you don't know but do you think something like this as a plugin would work and if so where would I stick it in?

Update: Tried this in every quoteit related hook i could find. Did absolutely nothin

PHP Code:


		
			
if (!is_object($bbcode_parser))

    {

        require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');

        $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

    }

     $randomquote['value'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($randomquote["context"],0, true);

I just editted from the following code:

PHP Code:


		
			
  <?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1" ?> 

- <product productid="myspace_style_profile" active="1">

  <title>Parse BBCode in Custom Profile Fields</title> 

  <description>Give your users the full effect by letting them use BB Code in their profile.</description> 

  <version>1.1</version> 

  <codes /> 

  <templates />

- <plugin active="1">

if (!is_object($bbcode_parser))

    {

        require_once(DIR . '/includes/class_bbcode.php');

        $bbcode_parser =& new vB_BbCodeParser($vbulletin, fetch_tag_list());

    }

     $profilefield['value'] = $bbcode_parser->parse($userinfo["$profilefieldname"],0, true);

Installed on 3.5.3 and working perfectly.

Thank you very much for sharing this with us!

jaks	01-10-2006 05:11 PM

ok I figured out a way to manipulate the templates to link to a specific post. This is not by any means a great alternative but as I said before it works for me.

First I am only allowing admin to post these because it's bound to get too many broke links. So first I added permission tags around the "Add New Quote" link in the quote_randomquote and quote_listquote templates

Then I editted

PHP Code:


		
			
$randomquote[context]

inquote_randomquote and quote_listbit.

K first the changes

( I didn't think to to copy the code prior to posting this so you might have to search by eye instead of with a text search. Not a very big templates anyway )
Find in quote_listbit template

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$randomquote[context]">

            ( $randomquote[context] )

        </if>

Change to fit your url (((Make sure you edit it)))

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$randomquote[context]">

            <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/your forum folder/showthread.php?t=$randomquote[context]">Read More, image anything you want!!</a>

        </if>

Save and close

Next in the inquote_randomquote template ( If you only want to allow admin to submit quotes) **Recommended if you use this linking mod**
Find

PHP Code:


		
			
$vbphrase[add_a_quote]

Change to

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions']"><a href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=addquote">$vbphrase[add_a_quote]</a></if>

Then find

PHP Code:


		
			
<p style="font-weight:bold;margin-left:25%;">- <if condition="$randomquote[context]">$randomquote[context]</if></p>

Change it same as the last template

PHP Code:


		
			
<p style="font-weight:bold;margin-left:25%;">- <if condition="$randomquote[context]"> <a href="http://www.yoursite.com/your forum foldershowthread.php?t=$randomquote[context]">Read More</a></if></p>

Next in the quote_listquote template
Find

PHP Code:


		
			
(<a href="quotes.php?$session[sessionurl]&do=addquote">$vbphrase[add_a_quote]</a> )

Change to

PHP Code:


		
			
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions']">(<a href="quotes.php?$session[sessionurl]&do=addquote">$vbphrase[add_a_quote]</a> - </if>

Now to link to a post all you need to do is enter just the thread ID# in the context field.
Example: You want to link to this thread below all you need to enter is 8 in the context field.

PHP Code:


		
			
http://www.trulyunusual.com/wards/showthread.php?t=8

Alternatively you could set it up so it will link to external pages aswell very easily. Just play with it. BTW I removed the ( and ) because they are cosmetic and interfer when trying to link.

Hope this helps some one.
This hack be used in many applications. Random images, random links, random facts with read more etc... :D

Your the best Cap'n
Jaks

jaks	01-10-2006 05:46 PM

This is how it would look for external links ( I use author as my title and not user so if you dont need the title in there chage it to suit your needs.)

PHP Code:


		
			
<a title="$randomquote[author]" href="$randomquote[context]">Read More</a>

What if you made the quote text box a wysisyg editor box? that way it would parse the code. I've seen it done on a few hacks.

Cap'n Steve

01-10-2006 10:38 PM

You'd still need to convert the bbcode to HTML when people view the quote. Since there are no hooks in the hack yet, you'd have to parse it in quotes.php before it's printed out to the page.

Wish I could figure it out but the work around I did does the trick.

Thank you Cap'n Steve, that did it, one more silly question how would I do multiple forums. I repeated the if line and changed the variable it worked but I'm sure it is really dirty. I tried commas and spaces neither worked, I bet it is a semicolon am I right? Thanks again.

Try something like this:

HTML Code:

<if condition="in_array($_REQUEST['f'], array(forumid1, forumid2, forumid3))">$showrandomquote</if>

i installed it.... and it worked.... then for reasons i cannot explain.... it now says this

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.3:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS count FROM quotes AS quotes
WHERE approved = 1 AND quotes.average >= 0 AND quotes.rating >= 0;

MySQL Error : Unknown column 'quotes.average' in 'where clause'
Error Number : 1054

Cap'n Steve

01-23-2006 01:06 AM

Run this query and tell me what it says:

Code:

SHOW CREATE TABLE $TPquotes

Replace the $TP with your table prefix.

Dolamite

01-23-2006 04:26 PM

i don't use a table prefix so i ran it as $quotes.... got some error...

anyways i uninstalled, and reinstalled... and it works again.... but... now i'm wondering if that reinstall.... wiped all my old quotes? And if so... I have the old database.... so it must be possible to import them somehow....

Cap'n Steve

01-24-2006 04:26 AM

You should also have removed the dollar sign. Uninstalling will delete all your quotes, but if you have the backup you can restore your quotes table through phpMyAdmin or just run all the queries.

Also, and atthe risk of looking extremely dim, what are the following for:

Average Threshold and Total Threshhold. Also, what does 'enable context' do? Is that for BB code?

Any help appreciated.

Don't worry about the phrase, it's harmless.

An explanation of those options is in this post.

Average Threshold - Quotes won't show up as the Random Quote unless their average rating is at least this number.

Context - This is just an extra text box where users can include extra information, like where the quote came from.

Thanks for that, and sorry if I am going over old ground, but my questions is:

If they aren't allowed to show up in random posts until a certain rating is received, how do they appear at all to get their rating? I suppose I had just better try the threshold options and see what happens.

Thanks for this feature, really adds to the site.

Cap'n Steve

01-25-2006 07:58 AM

They'll still show up when browsing the list of quotes, just not in the random quote on your forum home page.

You somehow reverted to the old quotes table. Run these queries to fix it, replacing $TP with your table prefix:

Code:

ALTER TABLE $TPquotes ADD COLUMN votes int (5) unsigned not null default 0

Code:

ALTER TABLE $TPquotes ADD COLUMN rating int (10) not null default 0

Code:

ALTER TABLE $TPquotes ADD COLUMN average float (3, 2) not null default 0.00

Code:

ALTER TABLE $TPquotes ADD COLUMN context varchar (250)

Great! However is there anyway I can make the random quote bit smaller? Thanks.

Cap'n Steve

You'd have to edit the quote_randomquote template and rearrange it to your liking.

I've made a little modification that shows the name and avatar of the user that posted a quote. This is only shown in the random quote at forumhome. Maybe someone else also likes this so I thought to share it with you people :)
Here goes:
Open the phrasemanager and add a new global phrase "added_by".
Open the plugin "Random Quote" and find:

Code:

eval('$showrandomquote = "' . fetch_template('quote_randomquote') . '";');

(this is at the bottom of the code)
Above it, insert:

Code:

                require_once('./includes/functions_user.php');

                $userinfo[avatarurl] = fetch_avatar_url($randomquote[userid]);

                if (!$userinfo[avatarurl]) {

                     $userinfo[avatarurl] = "";

                } else {

                     $userinfo[avatarurl] = $vbulletin->options['bburl'] . '/' . $userinfo[avatarurl][0];

                }

Save the plugin and open the templates editor and the template: "quote_randomquote".
Find

Code:

<tr><td class="alt1" width="30%"></td>

and replace by:

Code:

<tr><td class="alt1" width="20%">$vbphrase[added_by]:<br>

                        <if condition="$userinfo[avatarurl]">

                                <a href="member.php?u=$randomquote[userid]"><img src="$userinfo[avatarurl]" border="0" alt="$randomquote[username]" height="50" width="50"/>

                        </if></a>

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/member.php?userid=$randomquote[userid]">$randomquote[username]</a></td>

And you're done :)
Check http://forum.seti.nl/ for a demo.

Enjoy

Thanks go to amykhar, cause I used part of her code from her avatar on WOL hack :)

I am running vb 3.5.4 and CMPS v2

Everything works fine in the forum, and it shows up in moderation sections, it also kept the old quotes from my previous version which is awesome. Over all I cannot thank you enough for posting this Captain.

The problem I am having is this:

When I create the module for the CMPS home page, I follow your directions but when I hit Save or whatever, I get this message:

You already have a Module with an identifier of ''. Please select a different identifier.

Any ideas? I checked the modules page and no I don't already have anything for quote it in there. And I reverted my old quote it templates before installing.

I appreciate any thoughts on it.

Cap'n Steve

02-27-2006 05:12 AM

Does it actually say the identifier is blank? Can you take and post a screenshot of the values you have filled out before you hit save?

Here you go..the fields I enter and the results it gives me.

Cap'n Steve

02-28-2006 03:26 AM

Just put whatever you want in the Identifier field. I suggest "Random Quote".

*sigh* so simple too. That worked thank you.

And noticing the 18 pages of questions and you being on the ball to answer each one, thanks for doing such an awesome job. Your hack is great and your support is great. *cheers*

I upgraded from vB 3.0.7 -> 3.5.4.

What do I need to do to upgrade this mod? When I try to run the install xml, I get this:

Invalid SQL:

INSERT INTO datastore
(title, data) VALUES
("quote_settings", "1:0::1:5:0:::");

MySQL Error : Duplicate entry 'quote_settings' for key 1
Error Number : 1062

I'd really like to not lose all my quotes. :(

tnx

Awesome hack!

Is there anyway to make this so that guests/unregistered users wouldn't be able to see it on my main page? Thanks in advance. :)

Oh and also, in the postbit. How do I change the link (submit to quotes) to an image?

As far as I know not at this moment.

First make an image. Then upload it to directory images/_s2/buttons on your server, where _s2 is the dir for your style.
Then edit the link like this:

Code:

<!-- hack: BEGIN QuoteIt! -->

<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?$session[sessionurl]do=submitpost&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quoteit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[submit_to_quotes]" border="0" /></a> 

<!-- END QuoteIt! -->

Cap'n Steve

03-03-2006 05:19 AM

To hide the quote from guests, in your FORUMHOME template find

HTML Code:

$showrandomquote

and replace it with

HTML Code:

<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]">

$showrandomquote

</if>
