QuoteIt! - Quote Database

QuoteIt! version 3.0

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 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.

Other versions (development will continue for the 3.6 version only): QuoteIt! 3 for vBulletin 3.6.x | QuoteIt! 2.03 for vBulletin 3.0.x

We tried that. Still doesn't show up

Here is what is at the top of our header template:

$showrandomquote 
<table border="0" width="90%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/header_xmas.gif" width="890" height="50" border="0">
</tr>
<br />
<tr>
	<td align="left"><a href="index.php?"><img src="$stylevar[imgdir_misc]/headerlogo.png" width="269" height="227" border="0"></a></td>

Here is what we see from view source:

 

<table border="0" width="90%" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" align="center">
<tr>
<img src="images/soness/misc/header_xmas.gif" width="890" height="50" border="0">
</tr>
<br />
<tr>
	<td align="left"><a href="index.php?"><img src="images/soness/misc/headerlogo.png" width="269" height="227" border="0"></a></td>
	<td align="center" valign="middle">

As you can see $showrandomquote is nowhere to be found

In listquote you have $header and $navbar listed above the code. Could that have anything to do with it? We tried moving them both to under the code but it didn't seem to help. The quotation marks for the quote DO show up, just not the actual quote itself :ermm:

OK nevermind, we've got it Steve. Thanks ! :nervous:

[Bubble #5]

...would be GREAT if you could make an approve all button... :ermm:

[Cap'n Steve]

You can just set the number of quotes to moderate at once to some high number, then use the approve buttonto set them all to approve.

[Bubble #5]

Where do we set the number of quotes at?

And don't you have to click on each quote before you can approve it?

[Cap'n Steve]

It's under vBulletin Options -> QuoteIt! Options. Then you click the approve button at the top to set all the "action" radio buttons to "approve", then click the button at the bottom to save it. It works just like thread and post moderation.

Thanks Steve

I just noticed that it has a feature there to turn moderation off. That would work out even better yet, since the Admin is the only one entering in quotes :nervous:

I think the only feature that this hack is missing is the ability to enter a page of quotes at once.

Hi there, I just wanted to let you know that when adding a quote, editing a quote, or viewing all quotes, the title bar in the brower shows:

Array[bbtitle] - Add a Quote

I assume this is not correct...how do we fix?

Thanks!!

[Cap'n Steve]

Just find $vbulletin->options[bbtitle] and replace it with $vboptions[bbtitle] in your templates to fix the title problem.

If you want to add an image to the left of the quote, edit quote_listbit and quote_randomquote and put the image between <td class="alt1" width="30%"> and </td>.[/QUOTE]
Sweet - I put some big transparent quotes using this...

<tr><td class="alt1" width="30%">

After this, put a left side transparent quote gif...

<a style="float:$stylevar[right];" href="$vboptions[bburl]/quotes.php?do=view&quoteid=$randomquote[quoteid]">#$randomquote[quoteid]</a>

And after this put a right side transparent quote gif...
