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

By denying all other quotes maybe?
By removing the add new quote link from the template so only you know the link?

Maybe there are permissions but I'm too bored to have a look right now

Maybe you'd add a quote to your post so that we know who you are talking to?

[Cap'n Steve]

The easy way to only allow administrators would be to edit quotes.php

Find

PHP Code:

require_once('./global.php'); 


and after that add

PHP Code:

if ($_REQUEST['do'] != 'view' AND $_REQUEST['do'] != 'list' AND $_REQUEST['do'] != 'rate' AND !empty($_REQUEST['do'])) {
    if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions']) {
        print_no_permission();
        exit;
    }
} 


Restricting the quotes to various usergroups is something I'll work on for the next version.

EDIT: For those of you having problems, what exactly is going wrong? What shows up on your forum home page? What happens if you go to quotes.php?

dont talk to me like i am stupid

[Neutral Singh]

In Forums Home Page Options this option is not showing up in my AdminCP. I even tried editing the phrase and saving it. But the option is not showing up.

This seems to be the main problem. Its must have been, by default, disabled under that option and as its not visible, we can not enable it. Anyways of showing it in Forums Home Page Options?

I was just trying to help, but if you think I am talking to you like you are stupid maybe we have a little problem here!

ontopic: Have you made the appropriate settings so that it's displayed in forumhome? Sometimes we make silly mistakes without noticing, this doesn't mean we're stupid

[Vizionz]
