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

Any chance you could supply the SQL statements to install this, whenever I try to install it I get as far as this:

Importing Product, Please Wait...

[:]

And that is it.

I'm using 3.6.5 btw.

Cheers.

Spookysalem - The quote_listbit template is used for each individual quote, the quote_randomquote template is the container for the random quote, and the quote_listquote template is the container for the main quotes page.

BrettMo - Yes, I'm not sure exactly how you set up the page like that, but the problem is that it isn't getting any of the stylesheets. You can find the HTML for those in the quote_listquote template and just copy that into the <head> element of the template you're using.

Cybertims - I can't really just give you some queries to run, since vBulletin does a lot of the work. If you try it a few times and it still doesn't work, you could try installing it on a test forum on your home computer and then making a backup of that. You could then backup your main forum, restore the test forum database on your main forum, and then restore just the data (not the table structure) from the main forum.

Thanks. I am still having difficultly getting the sizing right

How can I put quotes on the forumhome but without the header portion of the quoteit? I just want the text: quote and author only.

$showrandomquote will show that with the header design

Cap'n Steve · #**376** 06-03-2007, 11:45 PM

Just edit the quote_randomquote template, that's the container for the random quote.

Chadi · #**377** 06-03-2007, 11:48 PM

Yes, but I actually *do* want to keep the header for forumdisplay and main quoteit home page. I just wanted to remove the header specifically for forumhome only.

Cap'n Steve · #**378** 06-04-2007, 07:24 AM

Oh, well the main quoteit page uses quote_listquote so that won't be affected. To differentiate between random quotes you'll need a conditional in quote_randomquote, something like this:

HTML Code:

<if condition="THIS_SCRIPT == 'forumdisplay'">

(everything in the standard quote_randomquote template)

<else />

$quotelistbit

</if>

I'm not sure if forumdisplay is the right value to use though, you'll need to check forumdisplay.php (it should be right at the top).

This mod has a problem that needs to be fixed, hopefully will be.

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_STRING in /home/user/public_html/tags/index.php(194) : eval()'d code on line 1

The kind support team at Zoints who created Zoints Tag module spent countless hours on my site trying to figure out why I kept getting the below errors oddly, on two different modules: Zoints Tags and vBISpy.

Their final find was this:

$headinclude =& $vbulletin->templatecache['headinclude'];

That is the line that is causing the problem, it is not the correct method of parsing a template to a variable.

I hope you can correct this. The errors went away after disabling the "parse_templates" in the quoteit plugin.

Cap'n Steve · #**380** 06-07-2007, 05:08 AM

That plugin is necessary if you want to have a random quote on every page. For the moment, it looks like you can't have that enabled along with the tags system.

Can there be a workaround?

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