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

The kind support team at Zoints who created Zoints Tag module spent countless hours on my site trying to figure out why I kept getting the below errors oddly, on two different modules: Zoints Tags and vBISpy.

Their final find was this:

$headinclude =& $vbulletin->templatecache['headinclude'];

That is the line that is causing the problem, it is not the correct method of parsing a template to a variable.



I hope you can correct this. The errors went away after disabling the "parse_templates" in the quoteit plugin.

Has this been fixed yet?

Anyone have an issue when a member submits a quote and the post was quoted, it doesn't parse the quotes tags

Is there a way to fix it, it just shows all the code.

[Robbed]

Another issue I have is when you vote you have to refresh to see the vote.

I thought it was ajax

Sorry guys, I haven't had electricity for a couple of days.

chadi - Nope, I'll send an update when I release a new version. I'm still trying to get someone else to take over this hack though.

Robbed - I'm not sure about the quoting, I'll have to look at it. As for the voting, what browser and version are you using?

[Robbed]

Firefox 2.0.06 and the latest version of ie

In IE it shows error on page at the botton

Line 88
Char 3
Object expected
code 0

[Cap'n Steve]

It works on my site in both those browsers, can I get a link to your quotes page?

[Robbed]

I turned on guest view and vote so you can try.

Thanks

You will see the quote tag issues too.

Looks like they removed some Javascript in 3.6.8. Try adding this at the top of clienscript/quoteit_common.js

var arrayRef;
var newValue;
function array_push(arrayRef, newValue) {
	arrayRef.push(newValue);
}

i'm running 3.68 when i installed this app... it crashed my system.. i couldnt get into my acp normally... it broke my front end... when i did get to the back end... i noticed i had a nested core... at first, i was disabling each plug -in in the rouge core... but realized that the whole thing was alien.. and shouldnt be there... just to be safe, i disabled it only....

my community is back online with this disabled... any ideas why this happened?
