QuoteIt! 2.0 - Quote Management System

QuoteIt! version 2.0

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. This was developed on vBulletin 3.0.7, but should work on 3.0.0 and above.

You can see a demo on forums.monkeycrap.com.
Instructions for adding a random quote to vBadvanced and vBindex are in this post.


Features (features new to 2.0 are in yellow)

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
- the quote shown is much more random than in previous versions

Quote Database
- quotes can only be edited or deleted by an administrator
- quotes can be viewed individually or listed on several pages
- quotes can be sorted by total score, average score, author, submitter, or date added
- quotes now have a "context" field that can be turned on or off to include more information about the quote
- 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 administrator can now edit quotes
- the quote moderation que is now more like the que for posts, enabling the moderation of several quotes at once

This hack is based on QuoteIt! 1.2, originally by magnus. The "submit post" feature was inspired by an addon by CtrlAltDel. The location code is based on a post by Acido.

You may release translations of this hack as long as the original credits are included. Otherwise, you not redistribute this hack without permission from me.

this may be a dumb question, but what the heck is the difference between THIS quoteit and the one posted by magnus?

or is the diff going to be that you'll answer my question about my quotes that i posted in the other thread???

[Carnage]

will it work with vb versions prior to 3.0.7 ?

if so i think you've got an instal... providing i can't find something better... i'm looking for something to use with our irc server to produce something akin to www.bash.org. As opposed to using forum posts for it... sounds like it should work for this purpose with little or no further modification.

Seang, if you read above I believe he has highlighted in yellow all the changes he's made.

Prolly why magnus is labeld 1.2 and this one is 2.0

Looks great Cap, specially love the upgrade instructions! Will definately install.

My community is going to LOVE this feature... Is there a CMPS Module for this? I am newer to VB and PHP and still learning the portal module creation thingie....I searched but couldn't find a module...anyone know how to do this? Thanks in advance.

The main difference is that this version allows you to rate the quotes, but there are several other improvements as well.

It's running on my forum, which is 3.0.3 with the security updates applied, so it should work on any version of vBulletin 3.

I forgot to add instructions for adding it to your portal, I'll do that today. In the meantime, you can probably figure it out yourself: the code that you add to index.php needs to be run, and then you just use the quote_randomquote template.

that seems to be using the same name and the same db name, the same everything. Which means I can't have both. I just finished 2 days ago installing a very nice rating system on 1.2 and I am using for jokes. Yours, I could use for quotes... I don't think it's fair to interfere with someone else hack and overwrite it.

[Cap'n Steve]

This is simply an updated version of the original QuoteIt, meant to replace it. I asked magnus's permission, as he apparently doesn't have time to continue development on it.

Awesome
