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

Um, I just installed this on v3.6.8 and now I can't access my admin panel.

Getting this error:

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /includes/functions.php on line 3717

I've deleted all the uploaded files and still getting this error... any ideas?

Do that, uninstall QuoteIt! and then redownload, reupload and reinstall it.

The kind support team at Zoints who created Zoints Tag module spent countless hours on my site trying to figure out why I kept getting the below errors oddly, on two different modules: Zoints Tags and vBISpy.

Their final find was this:

$headinclude =& $vbulletin->templatecache['headinclude'];

That is the line that is causing the problem, it is not the correct method of parsing a template to a variable.



I hope you can correct this. The errors went away after disabling the "parse_templates" in the quoteit plugin.

Considering Steve is not supporting this anymore, maybe someone else can fix this?

The only thing now is how to hide the Moderation drop down box to show only for moderators - any suggestions?

This works FANTASTIC - makes the Random quote box much smaller and looks much better on the forum. Thank you so much - I was trying to fix this over and over and couldn't get it to work. Now it looks great.

Thank you very much for this whole modification CapN Steve, our members LOVE it!

[powerful_rogue]

Any tips on how I can make the " " darker?

At present you can hardly see them on my site.

Great mod though

[Cap'n Steve]

They're made to be light, because sometimes the text overlaps them, but if you want them darker the image files are in this post.

Thanks for your reply steve. For some reason the images got uploaded into the wrong folder, but managed to get it sorted now!

Im hoping you may be able to help with the next question! Ive been trying for the past 30 minutes but as I dont know much about code im not having much luck!

Quotes : 2

Is there anyway I can make it so people are able to click on the number and be taken to that persons quotes?

If thats not possible, is there anyway to either make the "quotes" or the "number" clickable so it takes the user to quotes.php?

PHP Code:

<!-- BEGIN QuoteIt! -->
                <if condition="$show['quotecount']">
                <div class="info">
                    {$vbphrase['quotes']}: {$post['quotecount']}
                </div>
                </if>
                <!-- END QuoteIt! --> 


[Cap'n Steve]

There's no way to view quotes submitted by a certain user, but if you just want a link to the qutoes page, replace this:

{$vbphrase['quotes']}: {$post['quotecount']}

with this:

<a href="quotes.php">{$vbphrase['quotes']}: {$post['quotecount']}</a>

[powerful_rogue]

Hi steve, Thanks for your reply. Worked a treat.

Got a few problems that have popped up and wondered if you were able to shed any light on them.

When I goto delete a quote - I get a pop up box saying "No quotes matched your search" - however when I refresh the quote is gone.

The other question is the post count. It seems to have stopped working. Currently Ive got no quotes, when deleted im still showing as having two. Ive tried to refresh using the quote option in the acp, but this dosent work either.

Plus when you now post a quote, the amount dosent go up.

Any hints at all?
