Major Additions - QuoteIt! - Quote Database

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

everytime we post a new quote - it takes us back to the main forum page; is there a way we can have it go back to the quotes.php page?

everything else has worked perfectly except this one thing

Hi Cap'n Steve,

i had this working on a fresh install - but my host cut mysql access because of size issues - and now I've restored to a new b/d from a backup, and removed a few of the addons i was using, quoteit being one of them. I'm just trying to get to bare bones to save a bit of size.
Anyway, I uninstalled the product using the manager page and it all seems to have gone quite well - until i return to my vbadvanced index, at which i'm confronted with this error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.6.6:
Invalid SQL:
  SELECT COUNT(*) AS total FROM vbquotes
   WHERE approved = 0;
MySQL Error  : Table 'antimisan2.vbquotes' doesn't exist
Error Number : 1146

If you could give me some idea of how to escape from this, I'd really appreciate the effort & time.

Regards,

Karl

It must not have removed the module for some reason. You should be able to just delete that from the vBadvanced control panel.

Thanks Cap'n Steve, I tried that and MSIE keeps on spewing the error. However, I just refreshed using Opera and it works again.
So, I'm not sure what to think LoL

I've had to reinstall - but disable - it due to this error... it's kinda freaky LoL

Hi there.

I installed this on my forum however i would like to make the quote box it's self smaller so it does not take up too much room. How would i go about doing this.

thanks in advance.

Two problems with my Russian quotes page that I am seeing now:

1) It has funny looking boxes or lines around the graphics.
2) if a quote spans multiple lines, the last line is separated from the others because of the end-quote graphic.

This must be related to using CMPS, but I would like to run both on the page. Any ideas how to fix it? Thanks.
