QuoteIt! - Quote Database

QuoteIt! version 3.0

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 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.

Other versions (development will continue for the 3.6 version only): QuoteIt! 3 for vBulletin 3.6.x | QuoteIt! 2.03 for vBulletin 3.0.x

Does it actually say the identifier is blank? Can you take and post a screenshot of the values you have filled out before you hit save?

Here you go..the fields I enter and the results it gives me.

[Cap'n Steve]

Just put whatever you want in the Identifier field. I suggest "Random Quote".

*sigh* so simple too. That worked thank you.

And noticing the 18 pages of questions and you being on the ball to answer each one, thanks for doing such an awesome job. Your hack is great and your support is great. *cheers*

I upgraded from vB 3.0.7 -> 3.5.4.

What do I need to do to upgrade this mod? When I try to run the install xml, I get this:

Invalid SQL:

INSERT INTO datastore
(title, data) VALUES
("quote_settings", "1:0::1:5:0:::");

MySQL Error : Duplicate entry 'quote_settings' for key 1
Error Number : 1062

I'd really like to not lose all my quotes.

tnx

Try using this instead of the version in the zip file:

Awesome hack!

Is there anyway to make this so that guests/unregistered users wouldn't be able to see it on my main page? Thanks in advance.

Oh and also, in the postbit. How do I change the link (submit to quotes) to an image?

As far as I know not at this moment.

First make an image. Then upload it to directory images/_s2/buttons on your server, where _s2 is the dir for your style.
Then edit the link like this:

<!-- hack: BEGIN QuoteIt! -->
<a href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?$session[sessionurl]do=submitpost&amp;postid=$post[postid]"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/quoteit.gif" alt="$vbphrase[submit_to_quotes]" border="0" /></a> 
<!-- END QuoteIt! -->

To hide the quote from guests, in your FORUMHOME template find

$showrandomquote

and replace it with

<if condition="$vbulletin->userinfo[userid]">
$showrandomquote
</if>
