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

Where you able to have it parse bbcode?

dobbs - I'm not sure about the border. Do you have a backup from the old database? If you do, you can just open it in a text editor and it should be fairly easy to find the sections from the quotes and quoteratings tables. After that you can just run those queries.

Robbed - Yes, that should be working fine. Try it out on my site if want to check.

I don't know what version i had on my old board but i did an "export" of the quote table from phpmyadmin, i then went to the new database and deleted the quote table and did an import. Works fine.

Have you given any thought into making a module for vbadvanced that works on a side column. Seems like i am giving up a lot of screen real estate for one sentence and a name.

I plan on doing a side block template for the random quote but haven't gotten to it yet. Any ideas on what should be taken out to make room?

Most on your site are one line quotes, but the the ones that are quoted don't look like they show up right.

Josh- "I don't know. I guess it depends if you are giving or receiving.""

""UNDERPANTS UNDERPANTS UNDERPANTS!...""

whose site are you talking about, those don't look like quotes from mine?

the side module:
i think all you would need is the quote and author. lose who it was added by, the #, and the "edit /delete / add" links i the nav bar.

If you had one link to the "view all" you could do all the rest of the edit/add/deletes from there. Maybe make the text in the title of the module link to "view all" . This would make it very slim and clean. If you wanted all fancy stuff like ratings you would still have to run it as a center module.

Thanks for pointing that out, Robbed. I already have the code to fix that, I just need to run it.

That sounds pretty good dobbs, but I think I'll try and leave the quote number in, if at all possible, so it's easier to edit/rate/etc.

[dobbs]

true, it is small and probably wouldn't have an impact on the size of the module if it was in there

Is this add on available for 3.6.2 yet?

[Cap'n Steve]

Nope.
