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!

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

i just strip out the bit that gets displayed on forumhome to be just the quote and author, check my site in my sig, just simple template editing...

Hey Cap'n Steve, what do I have to do to allow smileys to get parsed in the quotes?

[Cap'n Steve]

looneytune15 - just edit the quote_randomquote template. It should be fairly obvious which variables hold the quote information.

Borgs8472 - you can't right now, it's being added for the next version.

[loonytune15]

any idea on how long till the new version will be released?

Also can it be made more like the vb shoutbox where all the template additions are made automatically and fits into the style as well?

[Cap'n Steve]

Do you meant you want it to edit the FORUMHOME template automatically when you install it? That's really not a good idea.

It'll probably be a while before the next version. I have a long list of things that need to be added.

Thanks for the upgrade. I've been using the hack for a long time with v3.0.

My "Submit to Quotes" isn't working. It goes to the submit quote page, but the boxes are blank. Any ideas?

Great work!

I reverted my templates for this hack and now it works!

How do you make it display the newest quotes by default?

[tarot]

I have what may be a stupid question. I only want the quoter on certain areas/forums on my board. How would I go about doing this?
