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 installed this mod, but there is somethign wrong with the template, take a look:



see this empty space?
how do I remove it?

I found this extra code in the html: <td class="alt1" width="30%"></td>
in the template: quote_randomequote
if I remove it will it work?

and also, when I try to moderate the quotes, it says that some phrases are missing..

[DefenceTalk]

NO border?

Why isn't there any border for random quote table?

[VaaKo]

nevermind, I took care of it

but I noticed that guests can see and click on the link "add a quote"
shouldn't this be visible to registered users only?
how can I make it work like that?

How did you remove that space on the left side in the quote box?

Looks great Cap'n Steve! Was a sinch to install

However, could you please give us more detailed information on how Average Threshold, Total Threshold, and Enable Context should be used?

Thanks!

Nice job Captain! I clicked install!

If you don't want any space to the left of the quotes, in the quote_listbit template, find

	<td width="30%" class="alt1"></td>
		<td class="alt1">

and replace that with

	<td colspan="2" class="alt1">

then, in quote_randomquote find

	<tr><td class="alt1" width="30%"></td>
		<td class="alt1">

and replace that with

	<tr><td colspan="2" class="alt1">

If you want to add an image to the left of the quote, edit quote_listbit and quote_randomquote and put the image between <td class="alt1" width="30%"> and </td>.

Cyricx, edit quote is also working fine on my test server. Save a copy of the page with the error on it and attach it to a post so I can take a look.

Defencetalk, in quote_randomquote find border="0" and delete that.

[VaaKo]

how can I allow my moderators to moderate quotes as well?

and how will I be able to add a border for the random quote table?
cause there was 2 border="0" and I removed them both and still not getting a border for the table
I think I should be adding 1 instead of 0

[VaaKo]

nevermind I solved it
