Major Additions - QuoteIt! - Quote Database

QuoteIt! version 3.1

I'm no longer able to put very much time into this mod, so I've set up a Subversion repository at http://www.vbulletinprogramming.com/projects/quoteit/ to allow others to help out. You can use the login "vbuser" with the password "vbulletin" to edit files. If someone would like to completely take over the mod, please contact me.

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.

Older versions (no longer in development): QuoteIt! 3 for vBulletin 3.5.x | QuoteIt! 2.03 for vBulletin 3.0.x

Ok a moderator informed me that, after deleted a spam quote entry, he was redirected do this empty quote:

http://www.avrilbandaids.com/forums/...ew&quoteid=874

Once he tried to delete it, he got this database error:

Database error in vBulletin 3.7.3:

That's really strange. Try going to this page (while logged in as a moderator or administrator).

Once I navigate there, it brings me to the "quotes.php?" page. Also, I tried putting in a bogus quote id:

http://www.avrilbandaids.com/forums/...quoteid=999999

seems to give the blank one. Perhaps its the default null result?

[Cap'n Steve]

Yes, the blank page is what happens if it gets sent an invalid id. I don't know what happened originally, but as long as it's not showing up when you list quotes, I guess it's safely deleted.

I'm going to start to search for the answer through the 44 pages of info, but is there a way to simply have the quotes appear as an added 'touch' to the site rather than having the ratings and self-submission piece of the mod?

My site is Disney related and I'll have mainly quotes from Walt Disney that I already have typed up. So, I'll be preloading them into the system and just have them display. Is that possible?

[Cap'n Steve]

Yes, you can disable the ratings system in the options and set up the usergroup permissions so that only you have permission to add quotes.

[ArnyVee]

Thanks for the quick response Cap'n Steve!

I'll look into adding this tonight or tomorrow to my site.

[Forgott3n]

It appears we have another bug, it may have been from the sql edit we made.

For some reason, the AdminCP option of Moderate Quotes remains No, no matter how many times we set it to Yes. Once we set it to Yes and hit Save, it refreshes back to No.

Also, we're now running vBulletin 3.7.3 PL1 so that could also be a factor.

Thanks for the help!

[Cap'n Steve]

Run this query and tell me what the output is (replace $TP with your table prefix):

[sql]SELECT * FROM $TPdatastore
WHERE title = "quote_settings"[/sql]

As soon as I installed it I got this.

Now my whole forum is down. HELP!!
