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

Disregard. I figure out it was a problem with XCache and vBulletin.

I have a problem here with the template stuff:

look at my attached image:

Is there a way to make this appear smaller? It's just too big on my forum, as you can see here:

http://www.gstelmack.com/woof/forum/

[Ben E Lou]

OK. I've made it smaller, using the following code:

<tr><td class="quoterow {$quoteclass}" align="center" id="quote{$quote['quoteid']}-{$globalcounter}">
<font size="1">"{$quote['quote']}"<if condition="!empty($quote['author'])">
        
        - {$quote['author']}
    </if>
    <if condition="$quoteitoptions['enablecontext'] AND !empty($quote['context'])">
        <span class="context" id="context{$quote['quoteid']}-{$globalcounter}0">({$quote['context']})</span>
    </if>
</font></if>
<font size="1"><div class="authorcontainer"><if condition="!empty($quote['author'])">
        <div class="author" id="author{$quote['quoteid']}-{$globalcounter}">&nbsp;</div>
    </if>
    </font>
</div>
</td></tr>

However, I get no edit option. I'd like to be able to edit quotes from the forum.

goorgoor - What's your site address?

Ben E Lou - You removed the edit button. Here's the default links to control a quote:

<div class="modlinks">
		<if condition="($quote['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $quoteitpermissions['candeleteownquotes']) OR ($quote['userid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $quoteitpermissions['candeleteotherquotes'])">
			<a rel="nofollow" href="quotes.php?{$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']}{$quotedisplay['querystring']}{$quotedisplay['orderstring']}&amp;page={$quotedisplay['page']}&amp;do=delquote&amp;quoteid={$quote['quoteid']}" onclick="deleteQuote(event, {$quote['quoteid']});return false;">{$vbphrase['delete_this_quote']}</a> 
		</if>
		<if condition="($quote['userid'] == $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $quoteitpermissions['caneditownquotes']) OR ($quote['userid'] != $vbulletin->userinfo['userid'] AND $quoteitpermissions['caneditotherquotes'])">
			<a rel="nofollow" href="quotes.php?{$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']}{$quotedisplay['querystring']}{$quotedisplay['orderstring']}&amp;page={$quotedisplay['page']}&amp;do=editquote&amp;quoteid={$quote['quoteid']}" onclick="editQuote(event, {$quote['quoteid']}, {$globalcounter});return false;"><img class="inlineimg" src="{$stylevar['imgdir_button']}/edit.gif" alt="{$vbphrase['edit_this_quote']}" /></a>
		</if>
		<if condition="$quoteitoptions['reportquotes'] AND $quoteitpermissions['canreportquotes']">
			<a id="report{$quote['quoteid']}-{$globalcounter}" rel="nofollow" href="quotes.php?{$vbulletin->session->vars['sessionurl']}{$quotedisplay['querystring']}{$quotedisplay['orderstring']}&amp;page={$quotedisplay['page']}&amp;do=report&amp;quoteid={$quote['quoteid']}" onclick="reportQuote(event, {$quote['quoteid']});return false;"><img class="inlineimg" src="{$stylevar['imgdir_button']}/report.gif" alt="{$vbphrase['report_this_quote']}" /></a>
		</if>
</div>

[MAME]

How do I link it to quotes.php ?? Can someone help?

[Cap'n Steve]

I'm not sure what you mean.

[MAME]

my forums are located here:

www.radclan.net/forums/

and in the white section where it says |-=R]A[D=->CLAN Forums, I want it to have the quotes. But in the plugin, it says to make sure you link to quotes.php for it to work. I do not know how to link to quotes.php.

[Cap'n Steve]

You can follow the instructions to enable the random quote if you want a quote on your home page, or you can do this if you just want a link:

<a href="quotes.php">Quotes</a>

[SemperFideles]

The quotes bbcode is not working. I actually successfully integrated it into a tutorial that I had built using GARS and it seems to work for that but it's not working for another forum. It simply displays as:

[quotes]140[/quotes]

on the page.

Thoughts?
