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 would like if it is possible to be able to add a different image with every quote.

An idea is to put manually the "". But how can i remove them?

Screenie attached.


This happens when clicking the link to add a post to the database either in threads or PMs.

Cyricx - I really need an html file to try and figure it out. Just use File->Save in your browser.

lexx27 - That's not really possible with this version, maybe in the next one.

Defencetalk - Try changing cellspacing="0" to cellspacing="1" in quote_randomquote

I haven't yet figured out how to do moderator permissions, but I'm working on it.

Maybe a small sized avatar from the member who has quoted the post next to the quote

Bubble #5 - Sorry, it explains it under the Forum Home Options, but not under the QuoteIt! Options, here's an explanation:

Total Threshold - Quotes won't show up as the Random Quote unless their total rating is at least this number.

Average Threshold - Quotes won't show up as the Random Quote unless their average rating is at least this number.

Context - This is just an extra text box where users can include extra information, like where the quote came from.

First of all I have to say, great hack, it runs like a charm.

But like Alien said some Posts above me your code dose not pass the W3C Validator.

He shows me 2 Errors on This code

/quotes.php?do=view&quoteid=5">#5</a>

Which hast to be this Part in the quote_randomquote template

<a style="float:$stylevar[right];" href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=view&quoteid=$randomquote[quoteid]">#$randomquote[quoteid]</a>

dose anybody know how to solve this prob.?

And your CSS code sould not apper in body of the page. It should be in the Head.I copied it into the additional CSS definitions.So they are in the Head.

[Cap'n Steve]

I think it's complaining about the & in the link. Try replacing it with &amp;

I'd love to start fresh on the templates and do it with a lot less tables, but I'll have to brush up on my CSS first. I'll work on that for the next version.

[eure-mudder]

Yes the & was the Reason.
Thank you!

[Snort_2005]

If we install this and we had the version for 3.0.x installed, would we retain things such as settings and quotes? O_o

[Lea Verou]

Any EDA for the next version, even a loose one???

@Snort: Yes you will
