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

The rogue phrase is one of many things that will be fixed in the next version. I know it's taken a long time, but it's getting close to being done.

Good to hear. I really like the plugin. Looking forward to the new release.

I guess there would have to be an update to the a VBA module aswell?

Hello. I wanted an option to switch off the rating system as it takes up too much vertical space on the forum pages. How can I do this?

[Bubble #5]

Guess this doesn't work with 3.6

[Cap'n Steve]

You can disable the rating system in your admincp.

Thanks for the heads up about 3.6. I haven't even downloaded it yet.

This works fine at least if you already have it installed before upgrading to 3.6, I haven't tested a fresh install.

Question:

Can you set it so that only administrators can view the quotes.php page?

Maybe I should just do an <if> tag on all of the content?

[Cap'n Steve]

You could do that, but it'd probably be better to do this:

In quotes.php, find

PHP Code:

require_once('./global.php'); 


after that, add

PHP Code:

if (!$vbulletin->userinfo['permissions']['adminpermissions']) {
    print_no_permission();
    exit;
}

UPDATE: Added instructions for adding quotes to the quick moderation block.

I think you might be linking to the wrong file or something. There aren't any instructions on how to add it to the Quick Moderation block. But besides that, I can't seem to get it to work at all. No errors, its just invisible.

I add and remove modules and create my own all the time. So I'm familiar with vBadvanced. But for the life of me I'm not sure why this block isn't appearing at all.

I've got RANDOM turned on in the vBulletin Options > QuoteIt and also in the vbulletin options>vbulletin options>forumhome

But I'm trying to get it to appear in the vBadvanced home page. I don't want it in my forums so I haven't edited those templates to get it to appear there at all.

Only thing I can figure is that with the "THRESHOLD" boxes, it says to leave it BLANK yet when I delete the ZERO and hit save, when I go back, there is a ZERO again. But making those a 1 or 3 has no affect.
