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

First query didn't find anything. Second query worked.

Thanks for the vBportal code guys, I'll be sure to include instructions in the next version.

Do you remember what the error was? The first query is the one that actually sets the option, the second just clears the cache. Anyway, does it work now?

Cap'n have you thought about adding categories to this? That would be sweet.

Cataegories will definitely be in version 3.0.

Is there any way to easily search the quotes? I would like to install this on our board, but it's importance is being able to search a key word and bring up any quotes that have that keyword.

Thanks.

[Cap'n Steve]

There's no search feature yet.

[TPOCJames]

So how exactly do you add a quote? I have to edit quotes.php?

[Cap'n Steve]

No, if you have no quotes it should redirect you to the add quote page the first time you go to quotes.php. If it's not doing this, go to quotes.php?do=addquote

I love this mod! I removed the table and placed it right above my "what's going on" box. Until my users start submitting quotes, I have it filled with Chuck Norris "Facts". lol.

If you want to see, clicky.

Installed this and love it.

The only weird thing I see, is this. I have it set to have it place all new submitted quotes in a moderation queue.
When I, as administrator, go in and approve a quote, I get this message after I click on approve and before it takes me back to the quote moderation screen.

I followed the instructions in the zip file, except for the part in postbit_legacy.

I see it was mentioned a few times in earlier posts, from the beginning of the year.

Hoping for an update at least. I know it doesnt stop anything from working. Its just odd beause the phrase does exist in the phrase manager.

Oh well.

Thanks again for a nice quote add-on.
