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

[Cap'n Steve]

Nope, sorry. I'm still too busy with other projects to really work on this. I'll add the fix to make sure it works with 3.7, though.

A new version has been uploaded to make the AJAX compatible with vBulletin 3.7.

Thank you. Works great.

For the life of me I've tried installing the CMPS Module for a random quote and I've followed the steps 10 times and still I can't get it to appear on my homepage.

I've uploaded the modules (both sideblock and regular)
I've created a PHP File Module and entered the correct templates to use

I've uploaded the plugin as well, though there is no instruction to...

Anyone help please

I love this mod though - great work!

Go there, add 'quoteitoptions' (without the quotes) to that setting, and see if it helps.

If that doesn't work, have you enabled the random quote in the QuoteIt! Options? What version of of vBadvanced are you running? You could try posting a screenshot of the module's options, too.

I am having the same problem, not showing for a new instal in 3.7. If you want to look let me know and I will send a login to you.

Thanks again for all the work!

I have it working just fine but the line breaks are really annoying. They vanish, I edit, they come back, they later vanish again.

[Cap'n Steve]

trackpads - What problem? The one with vBadvanced? Did you try the advice in the post above yours?

Deyth - I know, the BBCode and other formatting is pretty flakey. I don't know why, though.

[trackpads]

Sorry, I didnt quote the post. I am having the same VBCMPS issue regardless but I looked at it last night and the forumhome mode is really what I am going to use so np.

Thanks again for working on the hack Steve. I appreciate it!!!!!
