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

Would this help out at all, so it will parse?

Thanks for the link, bbcode is definitely going to be included in the next version.

I ended up removing this hack as it messes with the location of guest in the whose online page, some show locations, others just show a blank field.

Other than that, a very nice hack

[Cap'n Steve]

Do you have any other products installed? Would you happen to know what pages they were on when it showed up blank?

[Greebo]

Steve - sorry I was in the wrong thread before - I may have pulled down the wrong code just recently in trying to update.

Let me redo everything and see if it works then.

Thanks

Ok, I've reinstalled everything and even have the random quote showing up on the forum index for now - but even reinstalling the module for CMPS I can't seem to get the module to display.

The url again (so you don't have to dig) is http://www.pilotsofamerica.com

Thanks for any advice you can offer.

Well I just upgraded to the latest vBadvanced and had no problems, could you post a screenshot of your random quote module settings?

[Greebo]

Gladly.

These are the pertinent settings - permissions are all set to yes:

[Cap'n Steve]

I bet your problem is that "Display Order" is set to 0. If changing that doesn't fix it, try setting "Use Module Shell Template" to no.

[Greebo]

Did both - no joy.

Here is the quote_randomquote template - I believe its current - anything look wrong here?

PHP Code:
