ok... 3 posts in a row (sorry)... but just wanted to give more info.... as i've tried everything i can think of and still no luck....

i use vbadvanced and i edited the navbar where the quotes show up there. They only show up once you are on the FORUMHOME (index.php), but do not show up on my main page (which i use portal.php).... I can get normal text to show up ex: TEST $showrandomquote

TEST will show up on the main page of the portal, and then if you click to the forums page then you see TEST + the quote....

i've looked through phrases + templates etc.... I can't figure out why it simply will not just show up....

any help appreciated...

[Dolamite]

the conversation with myself continues.....

it seems the phrases didn't get installed properly by the install script....

does anyone have a list of the phrases, perhaps i could install them manually....

ok actually maybe they are installed..... but they can't read from .... or soemthing

man this hack needs updated....

[Dark Aura]

I have the same error as you Dolamite, but I don't understand installing hacks very well I am new to this so I need simply instructions to fix it *blush*...

[Dolamite]

what i can't understand is why the phrases aren't being read.... they are there in the hprase manager but anything related to this hack which uses a phrase is just blank....

[Dolamite]

i just ran all the queries listed for upgrading.... just in case... still no luck...

i think i'm going to have to not use this hack..... anyone know of another quote hack that works with 3.0.7?

i could probably get a book on programming php.... read it.... write my own hack..... before this one gets updated :P

j/k but it is rather frustrating.... i've been at this most of an entire day....will soembody please...... save me....

[venomx]

I have it working fine on 3.0.7

Try editing a phrase then saving it. You dont have to make changes.

[Dolamite]

i did that for a few... and does seem that it might work... however searching for some of them has no results....i'm not even sure they are phrases i guess.... a complete list of them all would be nice

$randomquote[author]
$randomquote[quote]

neither of those produced a result when searching for phrases.....

[Dolamite]

did a complete re-install of this hack.... and did the manual editing as you suggested.... and its working.....

i am still having trouble getting $showrandomquote to work inside the navbar template though... if anyone has thoughts on that....

and sorry for .... spammin....this thread to death...

[seangworld]

ok, i waited for something like a week to see if my quoteit will start working and whatnot on my forum, plus i was adding a few quotes of mine into the db via my forum.

problem: the quotes ain't changing everyday, or at all for that matter.

missing a cron job or what? if so, it's not in the zip and i dont know how to write cron jobs. please let me know how to fix this minor problem. :P

[Dolamite]

ok i got it.... for anyone else who might want to do this....

below require_once('./global.php');(in your portal.php, adv_index.php whatever)

add:

[QUOTE] // ### QUOTEIT ################################################## #######
if ($vboptions['showquote'])
{
$result_quote = $DB_site->query("
SELECT * FROM quotes WHERE approved=1 ORDER BY rand() LIMIT 1
");

while ($quote = $DB_site->fetch_Array($result_quote)) {
$randomquote[quoteid] = $quote[quoteid];
$randomquote[quote] = $quote

;
$randomquote[author] = $quote[author];
$randomquote[userid] = $quote[userid];
$randomquote[approved] = $quote[approved];
}
$DB_site->free_result($result_quote);

eval('$showrandomquote .= "' . fetch_template('randomquote') . '";');

}

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');

that last bit is what finally did it for me:

eval('$navbar = "' . fetch_template('navbar') . '";');
