The Ultimate Quote Hack!!
 

IF THIS HACK DOESN'T RANDOMIZE WELL FOR YOU, DO THIS:
(by Boofo)
"You need to change the RAND() to RAND(NOW()) to make it more random with the new versions of mySQL since version .54

The NOW will seed it and make it more random that it was before. "

That should fix the problem for a lack of randomized quotes.
ALSO NOTE THIS:
There's a bit of code going around that's 'unofficial' (ie. looks like it's from this hack, but it's adjusted and now flawed), saying "ORDER BY id" in the Query that gets the random quote. This is BAD CODE as it doesn't randomize anything at all. It should say "ORDER BY RAND(NOW())" instead.

</end Hack Issue Fix>


*drumroll*

It's here! :D

What does this hack do:

* it's an extension (big time!) on the Admin-only controlled hack I released earlier. If you installed that hack already, it should be pretty clear for you which steps you should ignore in the Instructions for this hack. What you Cannot ignore is the step about your Admin Panel, and the lines to add to admin/index.php !

* It lists a random quote either on your Forum Home, or in your Header. Next to that, it adds a Quote List, which is just a massive database of quotes that works just like the Memberlist, but with your quotes. It's searchable, and with the Add-on (see post #2!) users can also add quotes in it (which need moderation, before showing up online).

* Quotes can be added, edited and deleted from your Admin Panel. With the add-on, you can moderate quotes from your AP as well.

* There are no hard-coded colors. All colors are taken from your style, so all pages will appear in concordance of whatever style it is you're using.

Install instructions are in the zipfile: uqh_instructions.txt

For the add-on, see the second post, instructions file: w-add_instructions.txt


Have fun!

Attached is the zipfile with the Add-on which allows Users to add quotes themselves. Those will then fall in the moderation queue and won't appear on the site until you've moderated them in your Admin Panel.

*edit* There was one query left out in the instructions file, it's included now. See post #15 in this thread for the query, it's all you need to do if you upgraded from my former hack to this one.
