Magnus thx for sharing the hack. It is a big hit which is always requested.

I have a technical suggestion though: Using

PHP Code:

ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1 


in a SQL query is not the perfect way of getting a single quote (altough simplest). It may run fine in many instances but if your board has a heavy traffic (ie the query runs a lot) and your quote list is also long, it creates a big load on the server as rand() function attempts to create a copy of entire quote table on DB everytime it runs. Kurafire's vb2 version had the same problem and IMO it may be better if you implement a different algorithm to grab the quotes evertime it is called. My 2 cents.

I have modified this hack under vB 3.0.3 to allow administrators to edit a quote that is already in the database directly from the ForumHome.

I did it for my own forum, which uses a modified version of QuoteIt to post random lyrics in my forum, which is a discussion about Bob Dylan, so I would have to undo some changes to post it here. If you really really want it, PM me and I will post the intructions on how to add EDIT capability to this hack.

That's fine, still add

print_cells_row(array(
		"", "",
		"Quotes Awaiting Moderation" . construct_link_code($vbphrase['view'], "http://www.kydsm.com/admincp/quoteadmin.php?do=moderate"), vb_number_format($quotecount['total']),
	), 0, 0, -4, 'top', 1);

After that.

I had the same issue as bitg - did the edit any phrase - save - then it was all there..

Awesome hack - thanks much to the creator

Looks like a good hack.. wasn't there a similiar one for vb 2 at one time?

I'll likely install this when I get home tonight.

I am getting this blank screen... :disappointed: and there seems to no option to edit or save. Is this version of hack incompatible with vB 3.0.3 ?

<font size="7">Magnus please update your instructions</font>.............

And let people that are too lazy to search the thread know they have to manually go in, select the phrases and save it for the hack to work. I've seen numerous people post about how the hack doesn't work for them and I've seen the answer posted again and again.

Still new to adding Mods to CMPS, can you tell me what else Ill need to add this please?

[nineball]

This is good as a center block. Just go into add a module, call it quote

use quote.php as the file

use randomquote as the template used
