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

I've checked all options and it seems to be correct.

Thanks

Did you click to save the settings? Even if you don't change them, click the save button once. I was having the same problem with BBCode after the last upgrade and saving the parsing settings once solved it.

so far everything working well except I only have one quotation mark showing on my homepage instead of both.

I did something.....I added this hack to my page, now we cant do anything on the board, i cant even get into the admin panel

mamashid - Could you tell me what the problem was? You can disable the plugin system by following these instructions.

First off, nice mod Cap'n Steve - thanks.

I am receiving the following error after trying to delete a quote (not from the view all quotes area, but on the top of the quote itself from the forumhome page):

Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /quotes.php on line 723


Database error in vBulletin 3.6.4:

Invalid SQL:

			WHERE quoteid IN ();

Also, the end quote is uneven with the text quite a bit.

I have discovered some more problems.

QuoteIt is not centered and looks different from your screenshot. The collapse button is also out of place. And when you go to add a quote, under category if the name is a bit long it will cut it off. This happens with both IE & FF and I'm using the default vBulletin style. I've attached a screenshot of the forumhome page.

One more thing. In Firefox's Error Console it shows "fillStars is not defined" & "emptyStars is not defined" continuously as you browse over the quote ratings.

ubblite - It's not finding the CSS files. Is that on a vBadvanced page? Could you post a link?

[ubblite]

Well I guess CMPS was the problem, Steve. I had a CMPS module integrated into my forumhome page and I guess it was treated as a CMPS page. For some reason, other stuff like the Shoutbox is just a forumhome integration hack that doesn't have a problem w/it. Strange but not a big deal - I just removed CMPS from the forumhome.

I do get the same problem here as mentioned earlier in this thread with Languages. It shows an "-a" as another language with this hack installed.

Everything else seems fine for the most part.

Thanks for your help.

ubblite - Are you sure you have the latest version? That bug should have been fixed for good.

Yup, I definitely have the latest version installed.

I also have the same problem as another user in this thread who has PhotoPost Pro. When viewing 'Who's Online', under location it is completely blank if they are viewing Photopost.

Thanks
