QuoteIt! 2.0 - Quote Management System

QuoteIt! version 2.0

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. This was developed on vBulletin 3.0.7, but should work on 3.0.0 and above.

You can see a demo on forums.monkeycrap.com.
Instructions for adding a random quote to vBadvanced and vBindex are in this post.


Features (features new to 2.0 are in yellow)

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
- the quote shown is much more random than in previous versions

Quote Database
- quotes can only be edited or deleted by an administrator
- quotes can be viewed individually or listed on several pages
- quotes can be sorted by total score, average score, author, submitter, or date added
- quotes now have a "context" field that can be turned on or off to include more information about the quote
- 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 administrator can now edit quotes
- the quote moderation que is now more like the que for posts, enabling the moderation of several quotes at once

This hack is based on QuoteIt! 1.2, originally by magnus. The "submit post" feature was inspired by an addon by CtrlAltDel. The location code is based on a post by Acido.

You may release translations of this hack as long as the original credits are included. Otherwise, you not redistribute this hack without permission from me.

When you make the quotes mod again will there be an upgrade script??

Also try to make a slighly better interface (eg for voting it would be nice to use the classic vb thread voting like some mods do)

Your old quotes database will still be compatible with the new version. I'll try and improve the interface for version 2.5, but 2.1 will just be for compatibility with vBulletin 3.5.

Oh...
When do you expect them to be finished?

[Cap'n Steve]

Right about now.

QuoteIt! 2.1 for vBulletin 3.5

Wow, and it's not a beta!
Man, you rock!

Before i started using the quote it hack i had a quotation database with images. When i tried to link the images in this hack it was like this:

"<img> quote"

I didnt like it. But as you can see there is a big gap on the left of the quote where there is enough space for a picture. How can i do this? It will be great if there is a way.
Thank you by the way for this great hack!

For some reason it's not showing a quote for me??? Any clue why? :-?

[Cap'n Steve]

Did you set "Show Random Quote" to yes and edit the FORUMHOME template?

[docvader]

I have that same issue with respect to the "voting" on the quotes list page redirecting to a blank page.

http://x.russbo.com/vb/index.php
http://x.russbo.com/vb/quotes.php?do=list&styleid=18

It "holds" the vote, but it is not redirecting properly.

All my file edits are correct, the install process went very smoothly (kudos to you).

Not sure if you're still giving advice on this, but, because of what I've done with my forums, it's going to be a while before I venture into version 3.5. Appreciate any suggestions you might have.

Try opening quotes.php, finding this

PHP Code:

    header('Location: ' . $_ENV['HTTP_REFERER']); 


and replacing it with this

PHP Code:

    header('Location: ' . $_ENV['HTTP_REFERER'], true); 


Let me know if that works.
