QuoteIt! - Quote Database · **Released**: 10-04-2005

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

Sweet - I put some big transparent quotes using this...

Code:

<tr><td class="alt1" width="30%">

After this, put a left side transparent quote gif...

Code:

<a style="float:$stylevar[right];" href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=view&quoteid=$randomquote[quoteid]">#$randomquote[quoteid]</a>

And after this put a right side transparent quote gif...

Screenshot attached...[/QUOTE]

Looks great...would you mind sharing those images??

No problem - see attached... BTW - they have some extra transparrent padding built into the gifs to position them correctly...

What was changed in 2.1??

I have 2.0, do I need to replace some files or rewrite everything?

dieselpowered · #**175** 12-17-2005, 03:28 PM

I must be going something wrong...what is the code to add the quotes??

I am not sure that the code you have listed above exist in the new version. I do not know, any chance I can get you to give me some more defined instruction...sorry for the ignorance

Sure... open your template editor and get the template called "quote_randomquote" - this is using the quote gifs in my last post:

Find...

Code:

<tr><td class="alt1" width="30%">

After this, add...

Code:

<img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/quoteleft.gif" alt="" width="150" height="97" border="0">

Then...

Code:

<a style="float:$stylevar[right];" href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=view&quoteid=$randomquote[quoteid]">#$randomquote[quoteid]</a>

And after this, add...

Code:

<br /><br /> <img src="http://www.yoursite.com/images/quoteright.gif" alt="" width="69" height="59" border="0">

Thats what I did... be sure to put the right dir for those images... if you want it in the View All Quotes list you will have to edit "quote_listquote"

Ok that worked...not sure what I was doing wrong.

How did you make those quotes? I really am trying to change the color, but it won't change it

I was thinking more of a grey to match our site better.

Thanks for the help!!!

I checked the instructions 10 times and I did everything exact-to the T. I am getting DB errors, anyone's help is appreciated.

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.2:

BTW, I dont see anything. Looks like nothing happened... No admin options, no quotes box, nothing. And when I go right to quotes.php I get that error!

vonedaddy - try reimporting the product, be sure to check "allow overwrite". Let me know if that causes any errors.

sengerdw - the only thing changed was to allow 3.5 compatibility.

Nice work on those quotation mark images, by the way.

vonedaddy · #**180** 12-18-2005, 03:32 AM

I assume to reimport you would need to uninstall... When I try to reinstall I get the following error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.2:

Invalid SQL:

DROP TABLE vbquotes;

By the way I just re-imported and nothing still. Checked the database and no tables. But I do see the options in the control panel now, but if I enable it my forums dont work.

2.0 has been working great on vB 3.5.2 as far as I can tell. Can I just copy over the PHP files from 2.1 or should I reimport the product too? I didn't see any upgrade documentation... :nervous:
