QuoteIt! - Quote Database · **Released**: 01-01-2007

QuoteIt! version 3.1

I'm no longer able to put very much time into this mod, so I've set up a Subversion repository at http://www.vbulletinprogramming.com/projects/quoteit/ to allow others to help out. You can use the login "vbuser" with the password "vbulletin" to edit files. If someone would like to completely take over the mod, please contact me.

QuoteIt! allows you to have a database of quotes integrated with your forum. Users submit quotes that can then be voted on by the other users, using your choice of two rating systems. The average installation will show a random quote on the forum home page, but you can include it on any vBulletin page or on your portal home page.

If you'd like to see a demo, go to forums.monkeycrap.com.

Features:

Random Quote
- a random quote can be shown on any vBulletin powered page
- the administrator can set a default rating threshold that quotes must meet before showing up as the random quote
- a new random quote can be chosen at a specific interval of time, to reduce server load

Quote Database
- quotes can be searched, filtered, and sorted by many different criteria
- quotes have a "context" field that can be turned on or off to include more information about the quote
- quotes can be embedded in posts with bbcode
- each post and private message now has a "Submit to Quotes" link that allows users to quote things said on your forum more easily

Quote Ratings System
- quotes can be rated either plus/minus or on a scale from 1 to 5
- quotes below a certain total score or average score can be filtered out

Quote Management
- quotes can either be automatically approved or moderated
- the quote moderation que is like the que for posts, enabling the moderation of several quotes at once
- usergroup permissions are used for adding, editing, deleting, rating and viewing quotes
- most actions use AJAX to avoid page reloads

Don't forget to click install!

Currently known problems are listed here.

The files needed to edit the included images are attached to this post.

This hack is based on QuoteIt! 1.2, originally by magnus. The "submit post" feature was inspired by an addon by CtrlAltDel.

Older versions (no longer in development): QuoteIt! 3 for vBulletin 3.5.x | QuoteIt! 2.03 for vBulletin 3.0.x

what's AJAX voting? I will change the hook back, why does it look different from the others though? I want it to look as good as it is supposed to and to be uniform on all pages not nice on one page then on another looking not nearly as professional or slick you know?

AJAX voting is where it votes without reloading the page. You might have Javascript disabled in your browser, or it might be turned off in the vBulletin Options. There should be instructions for adding a global quote in the README file, it's just a plugin import.

I looked in my cp and I have AJAX something or other enabled. Why does my quoter look different from the others?

Cap'n Steve · #**335** 04-17-2007, 05:36 AM

The CSS and Javascript files aren't being included in the page. Are you sure you're back to a default installation?

thepub · #**336** 04-17-2007, 12:43 PM

what do you mean default? If you mean revert the templates back then I would lose a LOT of other things and have to reinstall nearly everything I've installed. This is killing me I dont feel like I am getting anywhere. Ive followed every single instruction and it still looks cruddy on my forum but looks great on others, I can't vote for a quote and apparently I can't install it correctly despite using the "read me" and information from here.

When did it stop looking good? You shouldn't ever have to edit any of the plugins manually. As a workaround, you could edit the headinclude template and add all the external files included in the <head> of the quote_listquote template.

thepub · #**338** 04-18-2007, 04:09 PM

edit them how??? It never looked like the demo or others posted. I've uninstalled and reinstalled MANY times.

Cap'n Steve · #**339** 04-18-2007, 10:01 PM

The same way you edit any template. Go to your admincp, then go to Styles & Templates, then Style Manager, then copy the stuff from from the <head> element in quote_listquote and paste it into headinclude. And judging by your earlier posts in this thread, it must have worked at some point, so can you remember when it first stopped looking right?

thepub · #**340** 04-19-2007, 08:51 PM

It worked before as far as being able to edit and vote on quotes. It has always looked like it does though.

When I upgraded to the newest version it screwed all my quotes. I deleted the tables and reinstalled and now whenever I make a quote it is just blank.

It is not a VB3 engine, just a parsed copy!
