Great hack,

I didn't want to have the large quote block at the top of every page and the Vbadvanced module you posted was a complete mess. No offence. It might be the diff between 3.5.2 and 3.5.3 but I started with a fresh 3.5.3 board yesterday and it simple destroyed the pages.

Anyway long story short, I disassemble the large block and created a sideblock module. It's not the prettiest thing and the code is messy but it works for me.

Using quote_randomquote and if anyone wants to do this here is how I broke it down:

PHP Code:

<tr colspan="2" ><td class="alt1">
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=addquote">$vbphrase[add_a_quote]</a><br />
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=list">$vbphrase[view_all_quotes]</a>
</td></tr>
<tr><td class="alt1">
<a style="float:$stylevar[left];" href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=view&quoteid=$randomquote[quoteid]">#$randomquote[quoteid]</a> : $randomquote[author] <p>&quot;$randomquote[quote]&quot;</p>
        <p style="font-weight:bold;margin-left:25%;">- <if condition="$randomquote[context]"> ($randomquote[context])</if></p>

<if condition="$vbulletin->options[ratequote]==3">
    
    $vbphrase[total_rating]: $randomquote[rating] - $vbphrase[average]: $randomquote[average]
<br />    
</if>
<if condition="$vbulletin->options[ratequote]==1">
<br /> <style="float:$stylevar[left];">$vbphrase[total_rating]: $randomquote[rating] - $vbphrase[average]: $randomquote[average]</style>
    <br />$vbphrase[rate_this_quote]: 
    <form name="rateplus" action="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php">
    <input type="hidden" name="do" id="do" value="rate" />
    <input type="hidden" name="quoteid" id="quoteid" value="$randomquote[quoteid]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="vote" id="vote" value="plus" />
    <input type="submit" value="+" class="vote" />
    </form>
    &nbsp;
    <form name="rateminus" action="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php">
    <input type="hidden" name="do" id="do" value="rate" />
    <input type="hidden" name="quoteid" id="quoteid" value="$randomquote[quoteid]" />
    <input type="hidden" name="vote" id="vote" value="minus" />
    <input type="submit" value="-" class="vote" /></form>
<br />
</if>
<if condition="$vbulletin->options[ratequote]==2">
    <br />
    $vbphrase[total_rating]: $randomquote[rating] - $vbphrase[average]: $randomquote[average]
    <br />$vbphrase[rate_this_quote]:</style>
    <form name="voting" id="voting" action="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php">
    <input type="hidden" name="do" id="do" value="rate" />
    <input type="hidden" name="quoteid" id="quoteid" value="$randomquote[quoteid]" />
    <select name="vote" id="vote" onchange="document.voting.submit();">
    <option value=""></option>
    <option value="1">&nbsp;&nbsp;1&nbsp;&nbsp;</option>
    <option value="2">&nbsp;&nbsp;2&nbsp;&nbsp;</option>
    <option value="3">&nbsp;&nbsp;3&nbsp;&nbsp;</option>
    <option value="4">&nbsp;&nbsp;4&nbsp;&nbsp;</option>
    <option value="5">&nbsp;&nbsp;5&nbsp;&nbsp;</option>
    </select>
    </form>
    </td></tr>
</if>
<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions']">
<tr><td  class="alt1">
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=delquote&quoteid=$randomquote[quoteid]">$vbphrase[delete_this_quote]</a> 
<br />
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=editquote&quoteid=$randomquote[quoteid]">$vbphrase[edit_this_quote]</a>
</td></tr>
</if> 


That is the whole template minus a bunch of tds. The if statements are all intact and I switch the Phrases to suit my purpose as you will see in the attached screen shot. I moved the author to the top beside the Quote # and will use it as a title. I'll use the context as author or a link. Still have some touchups to do.

Cheers Jaks
