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.

I've updated the zip file to fix the problems with the vote button and the "sort by" row showing up when they're not supposed to. Just overwrite the old quotes.php to take care of it.

Thanks. Any suggestions on the footer thing?

EDIT: Well, whatever you did, everything is fixed, even the footer issue. Thumbs up brotha!

[Cap'n Steve]

Not yet. I saved a copy of your pages that had the problem, so I'll keep looking, but so far I'm stumped. Like I said on your site, I only see the footer in the wrong place when I view a single quote. Viewing a single quote and listing more than one both use the same templates, so I can't figure out why it doesn't happen on the quotes list page, even if you set it to only show only one quote per page. I don't see anything special with your footer, either. I'll let you know if I figure it out, it's annoying me too.

EDIT: You edited while I was typing. That's really bizarre, but I guess as long as it works that's what counts.

I haven't been able to renew my license yet, but I should be able to soon. It should be updated soon after the official release of 3.5.

Hi all.
I would like to add the username to the randomquote I have as a block in vbadvanced but I haven't made the changes needed in index.php cause I don't want it in the forumhome too.
What should I do?
Thanks in advance!

[Cap'n Steve]

To add the username of the person who submitted the quote, just add $randomquote[username] in the quote_randomquote template.

[Lea Verou]

I did!! It shows nothing! It just shows "added by:" with no username. Is that because I didn't make the changes in index.php? But I don't want it to display in the forum, just in the block cause I have the left column displayed in my forum as well.
Thanks in advance!

[Cap'n Steve]

Does the rest of the quote appear? You shouldn't have to make any changes to index.php, but even if you did, the quote wouldn't show up on your forum home page unless you edited the FORUMHOME template.
