QuoteIt! - Quote Database

QuoteIt! version 3.0

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.

Other versions (development will continue for the 3.6 version only): QuoteIt! 3 for vBulletin 3.6.x | QuoteIt! 2.03 for vBulletin 3.0.x

Not yet. I'll put that on the list to be included in the next version.

$randomquote[votes] holds the number of votes. I'll take a look at getting the ids in order, and I already know about the phrase. It's not missing, I just can't seem to find the right phrasegroup for it.

I really have no idea. Could you put the quotes.php file back up so I can take a look at it?

[GrendelKhan{TSU]

please tell me this is a fully phrased hack!!



I'm all over it if it is...looks great!!

[TygerTyger]

Certainly is phrased

I'm allllllmost done setting this to use much less tables, but I'm stuck. On the FORUMHOME I have it set so that if the rating dropdown is available, the average vote scores etc don't show. Once you've voted, it is reversed. This works fine on FORUMHOME using the basic <if><else /></if> that's already in place in the mod, but it doesn't work on the View All Quotes page? The <else /> part just doesn't display.

And secondly the last things I need to customise are $sortby and $votebutton, I can't find where to do so for this mod? Are they standard vBulletin variables and not specific to the mod?

Edit: Hm, the title of my View All Quotes page is Array[bbtitle]?

$sortby and $votebutton are both generated in the quotes.php file. To fix the title, find all instances of "$vbulletin->options" in your templates and replace them with "$vboptions". To know what's wrong with your <if> statement, I'd have to see the template.

Thanks for a great port of your hack steve.

Only one problem left, even with context on, the context field is not filled in with a thread reference, it is blank.

Any ideas why this could be or how to fix? Thanks

PHP Code:

$threshold = ''; 


Then add the $showrandomquote to whatever templates you want to.

btw, 'woo!'

It should be added to the context after the quote is submitted. It doesn't show up in the box right now.

I can't see your site right now, do you mean you have a second navbar? The quote shouldn't have anything to do with that. Is that your entire quote_randomquote template? I can see already that you're missing a couple lines if it is.

[nexus851]

yeah, 2 navbars. 1 navbar is from the CMPS module, and the other is from the template module i guess..

yeah, that is my entire _quote_randomquote template. If im missing lines, please post
them or revise so that one of the title bar dissapears.

P.S- I had to remove the "/table" line from the bottom of the template because it was messing up the tables of any modules i put after this quoteit module. By removing it, it fixed the problem...
