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

Don't know about moderating, haven't tried, but the thresholds I can explain. Basically, if you have the rating system active, setting a threshold will set a minimum rating a quote must have before it will show up in the random quotes display. So if you want only quotes that have a rating of 2 or better to who up, you put "2" in the average threshold (assuming you're using the 5 point rating system).

And, for the record, I've installed it on 3.6.4 and it works fine.

There should be a "Moderate Quotes" link in the Moderation section of your control panel.

Looks good Steve, thanks for keeping this one alive!

[glowinggal]

would love to add that it would be FAB to be able to have categories as well

[thepub]

when I approve or do anything as far as moderating quotes I get a message that says "cannot find phrase "x_has been_approved" what is that?

[Cap'n Steve]

You don't need to worry about that.

Yup, I'm using the latest version for sure.

I have this same problem with Photopost Pro. Under 'Who's Online', it will show a blank space under 'Location' if the user is viewing the Photopost Pro Gallery.

Any ideas on how to fix this, Steve?

Thanks

I'll take another look, could you tell me how many languages you normally have?

Also, you're in the wrong thread. This is for the vBulletin 3.5.x version.

Nice hack, it works very well for me. I just have a couple questions. Is there a way to edit/delete a quote? If so, how can you do it?
