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

I made a side block template for vbadvanced. Thanks to jaks, I took his code and frankensteined it to make it look like what I wanted.

will this work with 3.6.2? I've been dying to get a quoter for my forum.

ok I thought I would take a gamble after reading this whole danged thread and install it. I followed the instructions for installing 100% with the exception of addingthe optional template change for the postbit/postbit_legacy and there is nothing. the files are in my ftp, the product is imported but there is nothing for me to edit options, enable or tweak I looked in vboptions and there is nothing about a quoter in anything. I'm bummed, my members have been asking for this forever too.

It apparently works if you installed before upgrading to 3.6. Don't worry though, the official 3.6 version is coming up.

i installed into 3.6.2 without any problems, just followed the instructions

braggar!

I cannot wait for the new version, this has been anticipated highly!

[HellRazor]

Think you could add a feature in the new version?

It would be neat to have an option that either allows or disallows a usergroup to add quotes to the database.

Already done. Real permissions was one of the first items on the list.

Looking forward to the VB 3.6.4 version!
