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.

Disable the plugin system as shown in this post. Then uninstall the product, re-enable the plugin system, reupload the QuoteIt! files and reinstall it.

[forumrunt]

will this work with 3.7

[Cap'n Steve]

Yes, it works on vBulletin 3.7.x.

Hi Cap'n Steve,

Got a little problem with my QuoteIt installation. Ever since a version back (not sure exactly) I now find that I cannot save certain options in the control panel like moderate quotes. If I select yes then hit save it goes thru the motion but upon the refresh shows it still as off.

Can you advise on where these options are stored in the database so I can go hunt for them or failing that tell me how to get the datastore setting rebuilt.

I have uninstalled the product, reinstalled and tried again with a fresh install. Same problem.

Any help much appreciated.

Try running this query (replace $TP with your table prefix):
[sql]DELETE FROM $TPdatastore
WHERE title = "quote_settings"[/sql]

Then go to your language manager and run "Rebuild All Languages". Finally, reupload all of the QuoteIt! files and then try to save settings again.

Hi,

Tried all that and didn' work (even reimported the product with overwrite). I downloaded the zip in this thread and the quoteadmin.php is dated back in 2007, is this correct?

Now, the settings look correct when I look at the datastore thru a mysql tool but only some of the settings are being reflected in the control panel. Very strange.

Any other ideas?

*sigh* I tried to install this yet again and this time there is nothing showing at all. I checked my settings and followed the instructions so why would nothing at all show?

[Cap'n Steve]

thepub - Do you have any quotes in the database? If not, try going to quotes.php?do=addquote and adding one. The only thing that I can think of is somehow you got a partial install, so try reinstalling.

DBs - Yes, quoteadmin.php hasn't been changed in a while.

Do you have any sort of caching enabled (APC or something similar)? Any other mods installed?

I really have no idea what would cause this, but try posting a screenshot of the options page along with what's actually in the datastore under quote_settings and I'll take a look at it.

Cap'n Steve,

Yes I use XCache. As a test I disabled XCache and the options are working correctly so I guess that there is an issue between XCache and QuoteIT ?

Let me know if you need me to test anything in an effort to solve this. Appreciate any help.
