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 need help please.

First, I want to make the category window/frame wider and vertically taller. Which template would I edit? I searched a few and couldn't find the code section for this.

I also want to move the search box to the right side of the category frame as well, in a new column of course.

Also, some features that would be nice:

sort categories alphabetically

[Cap'n Steve]

quote_listquote contains the searchbox. The category list is generated in includes/functions_quoteit.php starting at line 1292.

I am installing hack, all goes good, made all style modifications as readme.html file explains, but nothing appear in the homepage and seems can't find the way to add some quote!

[welovehiphop]

same here...i installed...and see nothing or now way to add a quote...

[Cap'n Steve]

Make sure the random quote is enabled in the options, save the options just to be sure. Try going to quotes.php and see what happens. If all else fails, reinstall the mod.

thanks its working now but need alot of style change

[nnjj.net]

how I can change the user id to "1" to moderate the quotes?

[Cap'n Steve]

If you only want administrators to be able to moderate quotes, you can change that in the usergroup permissions.

[nnjj.net]

its correct! but still can't approved the quote!

[Cap'n Steve]

Try saving the usergroup permissions again or rebuilding bitfields.
