The Ultimate Quote Hack!!

IF THIS HACK DOESN'T RANDOMIZE WELL FOR YOU, DO THIS:
(by Boofo)
"You need to change the RAND() to RAND(NOW()) to make it more random with the new versions of mySQL since version .54

The NOW will seed it and make it more random that it was before. "

That should fix the problem for a lack of randomized quotes.
ALSO NOTE THIS:
There's a bit of code going around that's 'unofficial' (ie. looks like it's from this hack, but it's adjusted and now flawed), saying "ORDER BY id" in the Query that gets the random quote. This is BAD CODE as it doesn't randomize anything at all. It should say "ORDER BY RAND(NOW())" instead.

</end Hack Issue Fix>


*drumroll*

It's here!

What does this hack do:

* it's an extension (big time!) on the Admin-only controlled hack I released earlier. If you installed that hack already, it should be pretty clear for you which steps you should ignore in the Instructions for this hack. What you Cannot ignore is the step about your Admin Panel, and the lines to add to admin/index.php !

* It lists a random quote either on your Forum Home, or in your Header. Next to that, it adds a Quote List, which is just a massive database of quotes that works just like the Memberlist, but with your quotes. It's searchable, and with the Add-on (see post #2!) users can also add quotes in it (which need moderation, before showing up online).

* Quotes can be added, edited and deleted from your Admin Panel. With the add-on, you can moderate quotes from your AP as well.

* There are no hard-coded colors. All colors are taken from your style, so all pages will appear in concordance of whatever style it is you're using.

Install instructions are in the zipfile: uqh_instructions.txt

For the add-on, see the second post, instructions file: w-add_instructions.txt


Have fun!

Speedway: just make a template adjustment and put a link to quotelist.php?s=$session[sessionhash] with a linktext "All" or "[all]" or whatever, somewhere in the template of the Quotelist where you want it.

Kura I REALLY want to add this to our forum but i noticed all your files are php we use php3. Will it still work for me? I dont want to go and add all these and not have it work

[KuraFire]

GZ_Tanis: I have no idea at all if it will work. I've never written any php3 code in my life, I started learning it when they just released php 4.0.4; I never bothered to go back since I run my vBulletin on a php 4.1.2

All I can say is try it out but make good, solid, _verified_ (that they work) backups first. You may have to adjust the code though, but I don't know if I can help you with that....

hi there i have a problem i think or mabye another templeat mod/hack is interferring with this not sure.

but ill ask anyways.

everything works fine except for the fact that noone can post because the javascript won't pop -up not sure when this happened but a user informed me and i checked it if u try to post says error on page :disappointed: i can add fropm the admin cp and u can still check and veiw all quotes made but u just can't add anymore from the forumhome .

any thoughts on mabye whats stopping the javascript from loading.

[KuraFire]

bahamut, there is no javascript in my hack, you're mixing it up with Lesane's hack.

With my hack, you go to the Quote List and then to Add Quote to add quotes.

[bahamut0]

i think mabye i described that wrong i ment when u need to post a new qoute u press the link (add a new quote) on the message bar it says javascript: Openquote() when u press it it says error on page.

would another hack or template mod interfere with this. or should i just rehack the whole thing.

[KuraFire]

I don't know where you got that template from, but it AIN'T FROM MY HACK!

My Hack Does Not Include Any Javascript, At All!

so if you have a javascript link to add a quote, it's either LESANE's or you made it up yourself COS IT AIN'T FROM THIS HACK!

[bahamut0]

wow mabye me thinks i should rehack i think i may have added some lines from another hack to this by accd ahh well .

[tweak]

I installed this hack but My quotes started to go random on refresh then Stopped???? Now it sits on the same one.

[KuraFire]

No clue how to help that, sorry
