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

I don't think it would be a template problem, and since my module settings are the exact same as yours except for the two I mentioned, my only advice at this point is to reupload the files and reinstall (don't uninstall first, just make sure "allow overwrite" is checked). You could also revert all your quote templates, but that shouldn't make a difference.

This hack looks pretty cool. Will it work with 3.5.4?

Steve! Oh god of this wonderful hack!

I recently renamed my forum index from index.php to forums.php, now I can't do quotes.php?do=list, I get

Database error in vBulletin 3.5.4:

Invalid SQL:

SELECT COUNT(*) AS quotes FROM quotes
WHERE AND quotes.average >= 0 AND quotes.rating >= 0 approved = 1;

How can I fix this?

[Cap'n Steve]

Serial Killer - Yes, it works with all versions of 3.5

Borgs8472 - Are you sure that's the only thing you changed? The only thing I could think of that would cause that is if you changed the random quote to be on every page. Try adding this to the end of the Random Quote plugin:

PHP Code:

unset($threshold); 


[Borgs8472]

It is fixed! Praised be to Steve the Quote God!

( I say this as this is my favourite hack ever I think )

I indeed have random quotes on every page, on the sidebar in fact. Take a look, it's sexy http://www.torrentforge.com/forum.php

Anyone else have a template problem such as this? All I did was do the edits exactly as instructed and put the module in the center block .. this is the result (see screenshot)...

Anyone know the quick fix?

Try telling the module not to use the module shell template.

Is there anyway to add this mod as a left block within vbadvance cmps? i find, for my liking that is, that i would prefer having it be a smaller block and not as a center block. On my site theofficeforum.net, I have another quote mod on the left side in a small block. I'd like it that way with the option to still add a quote and view them. Is this possible? Also, what happens if I have a quote which involves multiple people talking for example:

Michael Scott: I'm also part Native American Indian.
Oscar: What part Native American?
Michael Scott: Two-fifteenths.
Oscar: That fraction doesn't make any sense.
Michael Scott: Well you know its kind of hard for me to talk about... there's suffering.

Would this mod be able to list multiple quotes from different people like that in one view? In the pics of the sample mod it seems as though we only see a quote from 1 person. Thx

Also, it seems like the HTML is a little messed up..There is an enormous amount of space towards the left side of the box. Is there any way to adjust the size of the box the quotes are in?

It's geared toward single authors right now, there may be multiple authors in the future.

The default template will probably not look good in a side block on your CMPS, you'll need to edit the quote_randomquote template.

Everything works fine accept I want to put the random quote in my footer so it shows up on every page, but when I do this the quote thing doesn't show up at all, how do I fix this?
