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!

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

Yipeeeeeeeee!!! Now It works !! Thanks

[Alien]

I'm not sure what I did to make it work the first time?

What exactly was wrong the first time? I have all settings, and everything displayed properly.. I guess I must have had a setting from a previous version of the quote hack where others didn't? What changed in the new file, or if i had the proper tables in the database already was there any need for me to redo the plugin?

[Vizionz]

almost perfect

okay now i changed the rating from 1to 5 instead of + and minus and it says i dont have permission yet i am a admin ?

[Cap'n Steve]

Vizionz - What part gives you the error? Is it when you change the rating style or when you try and rate some quotes?

Alien - Your guess is as good as mine. It should be impossible to still have the settings from the 3.0 version, but apparently you did. The way I actually got the settings to export to the XML file makes no sense, either.

[Vizionz]

when i try and rate the quotes. i dont know if its because i submitted the quote or what

[Cap'n Steve]

I just tried it and I think it's because you already rated the quote. The rating list shouldn't be showing up though, I'll take a look at it.

[Lea Verou]

I can confirm that the vbadvanced module works perfectly too.

Can't wait for 2.5!

[Alien]

When you edit a quote, there is an uncached template: quote_addquote

When you view, delete, or add all is well. Just editing has 1.

Just an FYI.

[Alien]

In moderation, when I attempt to moderate one (happens in delete, or approve) I get this:

Could not find phrase 'quote_x_has_been_approved'.

Aside from the missing phrase, it approves or deletes properly.

[Cap'n Steve]

I reuploaded the zip again because the templates were slightly messed up.

I know about the missing phrase, I decided to release it anyway since it won't hurt anything and I can't figure out how to get it to show up yet. Don't worry, that phrase is only in the admincp anyway.

Not a good start for my 3.5 modding career, but that should be the last problem.
