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

It was a typo, I've fixed that and added a missing phrase I just found.

Thank you, Steve. I reuploaded the most recent dated files and that error message I reported has gone away. It's also accepting the fact that I'm allowed to edit quotes now when I give my usergroup editing permissions.

I'm still having other problems, though, with the functioning of this hack. And I'm getting a new error message in the ACP when I change QuoteIt options:

"Warning: preg_match(): Compilation failed: range out of order in character class at offset 13 in /admincp/quoteadmin.php on line 164"

That's one of the new files in your most recent download.

Lines 164-165:

$quoteitoptions['reportemails'] = preg_match('/^([a-z0-9\.-\+]+@[a-z0-9-]+[a-z\.]+\.[a-z]{2,}[ ]+)*[a-z0-9\.-\+]+@[a-z0-9-]+[a-z\.]+\.[a-z]{2,}$/i', $_REQUEST['report']) ? $_REQUEST['report'] : '';

$globaloptions['reportquotes'] = !empty($quoteitoptions['reportemails']) ? 1 : 0;

The hack isn't letting me edit quotes from a preview screen. I get a message at the bottom saying there's an error on the page. It also gets weird if I try to delete a quote.

Any suggestions?

[Cap'n Steve]

The first error should be fixed. I'm not sure what you mean about the editing error.

I just upgraded and re-uploaded all files, plugin but now suddenly the quotes are not showing up at all.

Not only that, found the 3 quoteit! crons disabled. I re-enabled, manually ran each one and quotes
still do not appear

"Show Random Quote" is indeed enabled as well

[Cap'n Steve]

Well, the crons should be managed automatically (they only run if you have certain options enabled).

Try saving the QuoteIt! Options or rebuilding bitfields. If that doesn't work, send me a link to your site.

[Chadi]

Fixed, I had to reupload the extras/plugin again for some reason

Feedback:
- prevent duplicate category names
- sort alphabetically categories in admincp
- search by author

I'm getting

Not Found
The requested URL /forum/modcp/adminpermissions.php was not found on this server.

when I get redirected from moderate quotes saying that I don't have permission to do so.

Also, what templates do I need to edit to make sure only some groups can submit quotes, and others don't see the option to submit quotes.

[Cap'n Steve]

Check and make sure you've given yourself permission to approve quotes in the Usergroup Manager. You can control who can add quotes with usergroup permissions, but to make the submit button not even show up, you'll need to edit either postbit or postbit_legacy, depending on which style postbit you use.

Hello,

i've got a lot of "bugs"...
First there is a big space after each quote on forumhome or at "list all quotes". Is there a way to remove the lagre space und the quotes?

Nest one ist, if I uses the quick change option at Forumhome... the save--button has obviously no effect. After klicking save AND cancel the changes will be stored.

And at least, there is a bug at the quote preview. I think a <td>-tag sperates the close-quote.img from the quote...

To change the style, you'll need to edit the css files in clientscript/vbulletin_css. I know that editing the random quote has some problems, and I'll look at the quote preview.
