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.

Cap'n, click here for styleid=8: http://www.onlinedebate.net/forums/i...p?s=&styleid=8

Also, how do I delete a specific template (specifically, the Quoteit ones)?

It's installed through the script which made it a "master template", so it cannot be deleted through the admincp.

The styleid 8 looks the same as your default style and I don't see any problems with it. You can turn on debug mode by adding $debug = 1; to includes/config.php and then you'll be able to see the Master Style.

I think you may need to refresh or something as style #8 is not the Aria style (which is the only active style atm). ODN 2.0 is the default style that was jacked from the install.

Below is a screenshot of what you would see if you were correctly seeing styleid=8 called "ODN 2.0"

And what is seen, is the quotelist...this will be true of ANY public url to my site (root, forumhome, etc..) while trying to use styleid=8 (ODN 2.0).

The template usage as per the debug (for styleid=8 / ODN 2.0):

Template Usage
navbar (1)
navbar_link (1)
phpinclude_start (1)
quote_listbit (6)
quote_listquote (1)


By going to the .../forum/ url, it wants to pull up the quote.php file it seems, instead of the index.php file. It's weird.

For instance, instead of the normal forum/index.php showing up and the forums being displayed when you go to :www.onlinedebate.net/forums/ it takes you to the quote page. It has a title page of:

<title>Online Debate Network Forums - Quotes</title>

This is what it was doing immediately after install before any template or file modifications were made. And doing those modifications didn't correct it. The other styles work fine..all but my default/primary style that happened to be the default at the time of the quoteit install.

FYI:

ODN 2.0 was my default/primary style at the time of installing the hack.
http://www.onlinedebate.net/forums/i...p?s=&styleid=8

It was a custom skin. It has a pic of a kid talking into a microphone in the header (this is how you know if you are looking at the right one).

New style: Aria...what is currently the DEFAULT due to my primary style not working. It's a light blue theme with a 4-pronged star in the header.

I still can't see any other styles, have you tried it while not logged in?

You're right about it redirecting, I'm not sure what could possibly cause that. I would think it must be something on your server, but that doesn't explain why it only happens with one style.

Try going to http://web-sniffer.net/ and entering your forum URL. Attach the results page and I'll take a look at it.

Yes. There is no difference.

Here is the attached page using http://www.onlinedebate.net/forums/i...p?s=&styleid=8 as the url. It does show the /aria/ skin paths...despite that style being id15, and ODN2.0 being id8.

I input both urls for id8 and id15. The results came back the same. Weird.

FYI, the file has the extension .txt so I could attach it. However, you can view it in html by changing the extension from .txt to .html once you dl it.

Since you're the only one who can see the problem, I'll need to see the headers you see. If you use Firefox, you can use livehttpheaders to see them.

One other thing: try it without having the quotes.php file on your server and see what happens.

[apokphp]

When I remove the quotes.php file, I get this on the style=8 when I try to go to forumhome:

Warning: Unknown(quotes.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(430) : eval()'d code on line 7

Warning: Unknown(quotes.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /global.php(430) : eval()'d code on line 7

Fatal error: (null)(): Failed opening required 'quotes.php' (include_path='.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php') in /home/onapok/public_html/forums/global.php(430) : eval()'d code on line 7

However, I get no such error on the style=15 style.

I'll mess around w/ the livehttpheaders tomorrow. Thanks for trying.

Is there anything in your phpinclude_start template?

That was it!!

require("quotes.php");

was in there from the skin designer who was working on having random quotes be displayed IN the actual header itself. This was a custom skin I had created and he fell short on many features of the skin, including this quote feature. But he never took out the code.

Removing it now displays the default skin, check it: http://www.onlinedebate.net/forums/i...p?s=&styleid=8

Thanks for the help man.


----------------------

HOWEVER (hehe)...I am having a table issue it seems with the quote list. I have this with ALL of my styles, not just ODN 2.0.

The problem is, when you make the quote list appear AND there are at least some quotes that need to be rated, the page is funky due to table issues it seems:
