Yes just add the code tag he provides anywhere you like. I added mine at the bottom. This really is a nice script and works well... I just wish it would separate approve tags and unapproved... or there was a feature not to approve certain usergroups. All quotes, including mods and admin must be approved after submittal via the adminCP.

Hi,
I searched my templates (styles) for the term ($quote_manual_template) but nothing found ?
Should I look for it somewhere else ?
Thanks,,

Where is developer sheppardzwc ?
I add a suggestion:
- a refresh button beside the title using Ajax to reload another quote without refreshing the index.php

Thanks,,

[mgurain]

Also:
- allow usergroups to add quotes, and in ACP can put in moderation.
Thanks,,

Works great I just wish there was a separate page all the quotes so if someone wanted to look at them all.

[talkncaasports]

nvm got it to work.

I will update this to vB4.x when I get a stable version of it for 3.8.x.

And we can choose for usergroups if their additions will be under moderation ?

This is a very good idea! I'll see what I can do about adding quotes via public users and putting them into a custom queue.

Another great idea. I'll see what I can do here as well.

Once again, a great suggestion, and this will be definitely featured in the next update.

Terrific news that you're continuing to support this mod...

I'm looking forward to the vB4 version for a new site project I'm about done with!

I'm also looking forward to seeing them all on a page (with pagination preferred) and the ability for special usergroups (like premium members) to have quotes they enter randomly display on the forumhome. If I see those arrive, I'll happily donate your way too!

[mgurain]

Thank you very much sheppardzwc for your response to my PM, happy to see you are back to update this great mod.

Hi folks,

Any idea as to why this is displaying?

$vbphrase[quote_forumhome_cat]
$quote_id \"$quote_text\" $quote_author

It is showing just above the QOTD.

Cheers
