[OzzModz] Quote Book

[OzzModz] Quote Book [Paid] 2.0.0 Beta 3

No permission to buy ($20.00)
Some ideas, you may want to add:

1. Let me vote my own quotes, please.
Even for testing, I need now a second user now.
This should be standard for all rates and votes in all add-ons to let the admin decide, how I want this in his forum, please.

2. We require pictures in the quotes.
You may, can use the normal editor and attachments instead of the small one, please?

3. We require prefixes, please.
Sometimes I want to filter and see all quotes from Peter; but most of the time I am looking for a special theme like "Birthday, Autum ...";

4. I have not searched for, but if not exist, there should be a sort option for the comments new to old or old to new, please.

Maybe my fault, maybe not.
Users had issues while posting in the forum;
I have deinstalled the quote book, the errors are away.
Could be another add-on also, have not checked it now.
But the last version is old, possibly there are typical things to change for php 8 and the newest XF?
I will install it in a test-forum later.
 
I have installed it, tried to use it with other add-ons like


Both are not prepared to work with the quote book.

But more than this, I have now funny errors like this after reinstall the quote book:

Template admin:allf_location_options: [E_USER_WARNING] Accessed unknown getter 'location_options' on PB\QuoteBook:QuoteField[unsaved] (src/XF/Mvc/Entity/Entity.php:209)

Yesterday I didnt have this error.
When I try to add a quote the field I have added yesterday is still there?
But where? I have deleted all the tables of the quote_book.
 
New problem now. When I try to preview a new post:

(Code: invalid_action, controller: PB\QuoteBook:Quote, action: AddPreview)
 
Clean installation on localhost.
No errors now.

So I have to find the problem from #23

You may want to talk to addonslab und cv6 to add support for the quote book, please?
 
There is no recount of user-quotes?
Should not happen, but it is happened, that the counter is wrong.
Now I can't delete any quotes, because the user has anyway 0 quotes.
 
Is it correct, that we have a draft for the comments, but not for the quotes?
What is the sense to have it for one of two, please?
 
Ozzy47 updated [OzzModz] Quote Book with a new update entry:

[OzzModz] Quote Book for XenForo 2.2+ Update 2.0.0 Beta 1

Now That Ive got your attention:
This is a beta release, take a full backup before installing on a production site. Optimally try it out on a test site that is a replication of your live site before installing on the live site. It has had limited testing.

Price has been reduced from $45 to...

Read the rest of this update entry...
 
Have not installed it, need to setup a new server tomorrow.
Are the categories needed now or can I stay on the root level with my quotes?
 
It seems the cats are mandatory. Then the quote book will be more and more a RM?
I really like the idea to have categories, but also have a category 0; means the index as a category,
and not like in the RM, where you can't get rid of it.

This made the old version special! You may find a way to add the cat 0 to have both; the old style, the RM style with cats and also both with quotes in the level 0. For example as new stuff in 0 and at the next month moved to Jan 23 to the thing as a blog.
 
1. Let me vote my own quotes, please.

Added in latest update
2. We require pictures in the quotes.
You may, can use the normal editor and attachments instead of the small one, please?
This does not quite fit into the concept of the addon. We can make a custom addon for you to require one thumbnail attachment.

3. We require prefixes, please.

4. I have not searched for, but if not exist, there should be a sort option for the comments new to old or old to new, please.
Added to TODO list.

This should be reported to the Location custom field author
We didn't add integration from this addon, but it shouldn't try to interact with addons that don't support it


When I try to add a comment, i were send to here:
http://localhost/index.php?/index.php?quotebook/2326
So probably somewhere is a "/" missing?

Fixed in the upcoming patch
Is there a reason why addComment is now in quote? Just to understand, please.
Usual refactoring of controller-action logic.

The addon cannot have quotes without a category, as categories now have their own permissions and settings.
I'll add a setting to visually hide categories if you're not using them.
 
Thank you a lot;
with hiding categories, you still have a category, right?
Maybe it can be the category 0, that is just one level higher?

Because somehow the index is this category higher than the cats in level 0.
But we were never allowed to use it.

Another way would be to have cat 1 and the rest in the next level, but then the cats should be shown from catlevel1 while the level 0 is shown on the index. This way, there is less to change, only the view of the cats needs a change. (=Idea for a new add-on for the RM also)


Meanwhile, I have played a little bit with the add-on;
I have added icons, I have added the new functions, but without cats.
I just try out, what is the best way for which content.

If you have a huge board, it makes sense to count votes for quotes, weekly, monthly; but for the most boards this makes no sense. They need monthly, yearly, for example.
The voting is somehow nice, I guess such a voting should be an add-on for the add-on; then it can be mod a) like now b) with numbers from x to y, instead +1/-1 c) make a game and allow everyone to change the position of to items. :)


Currently, I fight with different ways to open the forms.
I don't collect quotes; I collect some different data, where many updates are needed.
So, I try to have fast overlay edits, quick-edits and normal edits, edits for just some fields from many.

With all this and around 2000 datasets imported manually in the last days, I have different views to the world now.

Why we need so many clicks in Xenforo?

Because one single user normally doesn't change many things, so we let him click and click and click. And nobody thinks about how many clicks are needed daily to work with Xenforo because it is not the click of one person.

I think this is wrong, really wrong! Xenforo should finally care to make the life of everyone easier and increase the huge number of clicks for all.

One idea to make the world easier is to have moveable buttons or just changing buttons.

A post is moderated? Then show [moderated]; the post is not moderated, then show [moderate?]
One click, finished with work!

Why do I tell you this? Because you are maybe the first one to start with a new way of behaviour in Xenforo. Let's stop all these clicks to edit, to change, to save. There are dozens of new add-ons.

Maybe you aim to start with this and add something for moderate quotes for example, please.
BTW: We have these changeable links at least in two places: follow/unfollow and moderate_replys, they should be everywhere and should be itself the sign, what we have.

Another example just to complete it: I hate soft deleted posts like crazy. They need to be clicked to be seen, than clicked to be deleted finally. It is so anoying.

Instead of this: a red link [undelete me!] - and I know it is soft deleted, one click to bring it back, one click to soft-delete.
 
I guess it is not so much work to allow cat_id == 0?
It needs some changes to the code from the RM we have now 1:1, but it should be not so much work as long we define the permissions one time for all, overwritten by permissions of cats.


Then we have to add the stuff if cat_id == 0 or cat_id like now.

If I have not forgotten any high hurdles, it should be no big story.
I will try it on my experiment now. :)
 
Maybe you have an idea where to look for a solution for this problem:

link after adding a quote:

getContentUrl => "index.php?quotebook/2579"


but from where comes the first part: http://localhost/index.php?

If my new added quote is on page3, then i should go to something like:


with

getContentUrl => "index.php?quotebook/2579&page=2"


but maybe the fault is here?

and getContentUrl should be "quotebook/2579&page=2" ?
 
Have installed not the 2.0 to a clean xenforo; here I have also this problem:

Add a new quote and got here:

Have you tested the addon without using the nicer urls like I do here?

Or could this be a problem of my server (windows wsl2) and wrong configuration of the apache?
Have done nothing here with the apache, I just use the default web with the given config.
 
When I use the friendly urls, everything is nice.
Can you please check, what's the problem having no friendly urls?
RewriteBase / is set
