How does it run on VB306?

[ncangler]

Hi. I appreciate your help on this forum. I'm trying to install the QuoteIt hack on my forum running 3.0.6 and all I'm seeing is a blank bar with a couple of quotation marks and some other symbols. (I attached an image below). I haven't input a quote yet cause I don't see anyplace to do that. CtrlAltDel mentioned on the forum running a Query (below). I'm a newbie to much of this. Could you please tell me where and how to run a query? I really hope I can get this working. Thanks!

You need to rerun this query.

INSERT INTO setting (varname, grouptitle, value, defaultvalue, optioncode, displayorder, advanced, volatile) VALUES ('showquote', 'forumhome', '0', '0', 'yesno', 5, 0, 1);

and this one

INSERT INTO setting (varname, grouptitle, value, defaultvalue, optioncode, displayorder, advanced, volatile) VALUES ('moderatequotes', 'forumhome', '0', '0', 'yesno', 6, 0, 1)

If your table has a prefix, put that on there.

Then go into your home page options and re-enable the settings.

Everything should be back to normal now.

Quick question - I have this hack working perfectly and I LOVE it, so thanks first off. Now, I was wondering if there is any way to keep a certain usergroup from adding quotes besides guests?

Thanks!

Thanks!

it would be easy enough, you just need to change the code found in lines ~58-65 of quotes.php to an if condition that matched whom you wanted to be able to post quotes.

or you can add additional if statements there, testing for invalid usergroup ids..not too bad to put together.

Hi everyone.

I was trying to trim the quote bar to remove the 'random quote' bit, when I collapsed the table and lost the random quote alltogether.

I tried reinstalling the templates, but now I keep getting:

The following error occurred when attempting to evaluate this template:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRING, expecting ']' in /usr/local/psa/home/vhosts/wordforge.net/httpdocs/forum/includes/adminfunctions_template.php(3037) : eval()'d code on line 18

This is likely caused by a malformed conditional statement. It is highly recommended that you fix this error before continuing, but you may continue as-is if you wish.

when I save the randomquote template!

The quote will not show up whatever I've tried.

Suggestions?

Is there a way to get it to show only on the CMPS page and not the forum index page?

that error usually comes out when there is a syntax error in the file that gets named there
check for missing braces and semi-colons
