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

It worked fine for me. Try doing a shift + refresh to make sure your browser gets the latest files.

Hmmm, I did shift + refresh twice, and i'm still having a problem.
Here's the error message that I got:

Attachment 59266

Don't suppose it's something to do with the fact that i'm using Safari? Just a thought. Might test it on firefox and see what happens.

ETA: I just tried in Firefox and got the same error message. Could it be an admin problem perhaps?

[Cap'n Steve]

That's from the edit you did to quoteit_moderation.js. If you hit enter (since the ok button is off screen) it'll continue just fine. Reupload the default clienscript/quoteit_moderation.js and try again.

EDIT: In case you want to do a full refresh, it's probably some key other than shift on a Mac.

Cap'N Steve the language Chooser bug seems to be fixed. I will do some more testing and turn back to you if needed. Thanks in advance!

Still not working. Although the other Administrator just tried it and had no problems. I just can't work it out. I am the main Admin (my user ID is 1), so I don't know if that's it. I'm totally stumped.

I'm determined to work it out though.

The BB code's and smileys show when I am viewing all quotes, but not on the quoter itself (like on a forum index or whatever)

I was having the same problem after upgrading to 3.09, but going into the admicp and re-saving the Quote Parsing Options seems to have done the trick.

[Cap'n Steve]

efil - If you have more than one language it's at the bottom of the page, next to the style chooser.

thepub - Yes, try saving the options again. For your images problem, using your red-gray style as an example, it's looking for the images in images/styles/redgray/ so you need to upload them there. It'll be a different folder for each style.

Firen - Does it do anything? Sometimes you have to wait a little while. Try it on my site.

I would like to show these quotes in the first post of a new topic made by any member. I have tried some variations but... how can i modify the plugin so that it shows the quotes in the postbit / postbit legacy templates as well... TIA
