XenQuotation

[SheepCow]

XenQuotation is an add-on for XenForo that allows your community members to save silly, funny and memorable quotations for all to see. Each quotation can be saved with an author, date and a bit of text to put the quotation in context. You can even turn a post in to a quotation.

Current Version: XenQuotation v0.2.2 (Beta 3), released 30th July 2011.

Main Features:

• Integrated in to XenForo:
  • Integrated with Search
  • Integrated with Alerts
  • Integrated with Like'ing
  • Integrated with Moderation Queue
  • Integrated with In-line Moderation
• Save quotations directly from posts
• Configurable permissions for quotations.
• Each quotation has an URL that can be passed around to view that quotation.
• List of quotations (similar to the list of threads in a forum) for quick browsing.
• Configure which BB Codes can be used in your quotations.
• Comes with [bd] Widget Framework widget for displaying a random quotation.
• Comes with a XenPorta module for displaying a random quotation.

What can we do with the saved quotations?

wow brilliant add-on.. very well done mate!
Is there a working demo for testing purpose? actually I don't see the Quotation View page in the screen shots.
Thanks.

I think we can have a collection of nice quotes, visitors can view and like them.
I'd suggest a few features i.e Comments on each quote, Admin defined Authors list & Categories and more..

Thanks.

The list is currently the only way to view the quotes, I'm working on a single quote view (which is 1/2 there but there are no links to it ).

I think this could be a very cool addon (not that it's not already) but what I would like to see would be a way to flag a post in a thread and have it x-post to quotes. Kinda like Reddit's Bestof.

Can be used as guestbook

That is already in the mod but due to having to hack a template it is not visible just yet... SheepCow is looking at seeing if a hook is available.

There's a new version up on the downloads page:
https://github.com/sheepcow/XenQuotation/downloads

Only a couple of minor changes, there is now a single quote page and some minor bug fixes

 

[Veer]

Great.. please also update the screen shot with the new quote page.
keep up the good work.

If you're extra sneaky (and using v0.1.1 just released) you can add "?post=123" on to the end of the add a quote page to see how it currently works. (e.g. example.com/forum/quotes/create-quote?post=456)

Great.. please also update the screen shot with the new quote page.
keep up the good work.

Just added some new screenshots!

I have some ideas and suggestions for the future updates, if you like:

• Add a sidebar on all pages
  • "Share this page" block.
  • "Quote of the Day" on Add-on sidebar and Forum home page sidebar.
  • More Quotes from User
  • Quotations (add-on) Statistics
• Admin defined Authors list.
  • Option to select an author on Quote create page.
  • Browse Quotes by Author(s)
  • Top 5 Authors on sidebar
• Categories
  • Must select a category when create new quotes (admin defined-able option)
  • Browse Quotes by Categories
• Add to Favorite list
  • Add quotes to users favorite list
  • Browse users all favorite quotes

This is a good idea, keep the updates rolling!

The liek button doesnt seem to work...you click it and no likes appear.

Just release v0.1.2-f1 that fixes the liking not working at all. The "like" counter doesn't update correctly yet though!
