QuoteIt! 1.2
Description
This hack will allow you to maintain a database of quotes which can be added by users and displayed on FORUMHOME. Admin function includes the ability to delete quotes from the database.
That's not very helpful. There's no reason for it not to work, as it doesn't rely on anything other than a SQL DB and the quotes.php file.
So, would you care to elaborate on what specifically isn't working?
I cant see the Option "Display Random Quote?" in Admincp >> Forums Home Page Options. It's gone after Upgrade to Gold. Peharps i need run a manual query?
djohn, all if this is already possible (in v1.1 or v1.2). Since it's all template driven, you just simply need to design the template how you see fit. For instance, see the attached screenshot:

I've got it showing in the vbulletin options but not in the moderation section... and nothing showing on forum home either to show that a quotes system is running.
What I would be using this for is to display member quotes....things that the members have posted and are "quote worthy."
I think it would be great to have a small icon in each postbit that allows you to add a member quote to the database.
You would copy the relevent part of a members post, and click an icon. The next screen would only have a textarea to paste in the quote, since the name would be the user who posted the comment you are quoting.
Additionally, in the actual displayed quote, I would like a link to the original post so people can view the quote in context.
Of course people could still add random quotes as well by clicking "add quote" in the quote display area. If they use this link, THEN they are allowed to add a name. If they add a quote via a post, then the name is generated automatically.
I can probably add this myself if needed, but I figured I'd post here in case you wanted to add it to your release.
Nice job, magnus.
Edit: Oh, and it would be nice if you re-worded your AdminCP. The current wording seems backwards and confusing:
Disable Quote Moderation? Selecting "No" will require all quotes to be approved before being displayed"
I would suggest using:
Moderate Quotes? Selecting "Yes" will require all quotes to be approved before being displayed"

I haven't upgrade to Gold, yet.. but I couldn't imagine why it wouldn't show. It's not like upgrading will remove entries from the 'settings' DB. Go and edit a phrase, then click save. You don't need to make any actual changes, just open and save. See if that fixes it.

You need to perform the file and template edits again. You don't need to run the installer, but view the README and do the file and template edits.
Upgrade to v1.2. It's the default templates. There are upgrade instructions in the first post. Be sure that you're going in order. If you're using v1.0, you'll need to upgrade to v1.1 then to v1.2.

VAN, that's a whole new level of functionality. It's not something I'll be adding soon, but it's possible for a future release.. I'll keep it in mind, thanks.
