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

I also noticed that it breaks my PM inbox page, so I uninstalled it for the time being until it becomes slightly more stable.

Good job so far though!

What version of vbulletin do you have? Are there any quotes in the database? What error do you get when viewing private messages?

The PM bug is fixed, but I still can't reproduce the redirect problem. Any information would be helpful.

Hi,

when I try to import the product I get the following error message

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare class vs_hhr_engine in Unknown on line 0

It's late here so I may have missed something. But is there a way to delete quotes? I put one in there to test it out, but want to delete it. Can anyone help please?
Very nice hack by the way!

I'm running vB 3.6.4. There weren't any quotes in the database yet, but I can't get to the page that will allow me to add them. Call me blonde but I didn't find the appropriate option in the AdminCP to add links through there. Is there an option for that? (If not, that would be a nice addition.)

I managed to install the hack now and its great but its messing up the "Quick Language Chooser". After installing it its adding nonsense to the language chooser.

After uninstalling its fine again so I think it has something to do with this hack.

BEFORE INSTALLATION:


AFTER INSTALLATION:


If I open the Language Manager in the AdminCP there is no third language.
When I edit one of the languages that are installed and simply press on save
the field is correct again.

I can life with that but I still think that there is a problem with this hack :-)

Would you be interested in making another hack based on this same prinicple, but with photos instead of quotes??

It would be great to let users submit photos to be voted on

This happens when there are no quotes in the database and you try to go to the page, it just loops you trying to go to quotes.php?do=list over and over.


The only fix I could find was to manually type into the url /quotes.php?do=addquote

Then I added one in there, now it worked.


I am getting javascript issues when I click the edit button, and I can not get a random quote to show up on forum home.


Edit - I am also getting the language dropdown bug as listed above, but I only have 1 language installed to begin with. Selecting the "--a" option takes me to the "Who is Online" list.

I get this error when trying to install:

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cache_templates_with_file_cache() (previously declared in /path/public_html/forums/template_cache.php:2) in /path/public_html/forums/template_cache.php on line 2

version vB3.64

Any ideas what I should do?

Thanks!
