Hello!

Steps you need to do (or packages you should have) before downloading the script:

1. Install all necessary packages for eggdrop to make use of mysql (also packages which you need to have are included). For example for ubuntu 18.04 these would be the packages: tcl, tcl-dev, tcllib, tcl-tls, zlibc, zlib1g, tcl-trf, mysqltcl
2. Install mysql-server and phpmyadmin (phpmyadmin is not really needed, but it helps to manage databases). For example for ubuntu 18.04 these would be the packages: mysql-server, mysql-client, phpmyadmin For phpmyadmin you need the following packages: apache2, php <- install those first. :)
3. Install eggdrop. Check out here: https://www.eggheads.org/downloads

In case you have a running bot, you can continue.

Database setup, first steps

1. Create admin user for mysql if you don't have it yet.
   

// In case you have an admin user for your mysql server other than the "root" user, you can skip this. //

With root user enter the following command in your shell: # mysql -u root

  This will let you to login to mysql, so you can make changes on/in it.

Create a new admin user (so you can login to phpmyadmin later on): mysql> CREATE USER ''@'%' IDENTIFIED BY '';

  This will create the <user> with the given password.

Grant all right to the user: mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON . TO ''@'%' WITH GRANT OPTION;

  This command allows you to login from any host/ip and gives you unlimited control over all databases.

Check if you did everything well, so the user exists: mysql> SHOW GRANTS FOR ''@'%';

mysql> exit

  This will exit you out from the mysql console.

1. Create a user and database in your mysql server for the bot to use.
   

You have two options now: a, Use phpmyadmin, where you can log in with the user which you created in point one and there

  create a new database and a new user, then grant that user rights over the database ..

OR

b, Use the following commands:

With your shell user, login to mysql with the previously created user: $ mysql -u -p

  Here you will need to enter the password which you have given previous (<pwhere>).

mysql> CREATE DATABASE quotesdb;

  This will create a database, named "quotesdb".

Now we need to create an other user for the bot. mysql> CREATE USER ''@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY '';

  This will create a user named "botnick". We will use this user,
  to connect to mysql and make changes in database named "quotesdb".
  For that, we need to set rights.

mysql> GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON quotesdb.* TO ''@'localhost';

  This will grant all right on db "quotesdb" to "botnick" user, connecting from localhost.

Now we are ready to move on to the next step. :)

1. Now, you have to create the tables into the database which you made. For this, you can download the pre-made script - you can find it in the sql folder, named "quotes.sql". Download it (example: wget) and run the following command with your shell user: $ mysql -u -p quotesdb < quotes.sql The is what you have created at point 1. :)

   At this point you are ready with the preparations and you can move to the next chapter. :)

   Setting up the tcl script, edit the config(s)

   1. Download the script (QuoteEngine.tcl) and put that into the eggdrop's scripts directory.
   2. Download the settings file (QuoteEngine-settings.sample.tcl) rename it to "QuoteEngine-settings.tcl" and edit it! The settings file needs to be edited. If you followed the guide, you won't have any problems to fill it out. :)
   3. Open your bot's configuraton file and put the following like to the end of the file: 'source "scripts/QuoteEngine.tcl"' (Obviously without the '' signs. :))
   4. Telnet to your bot (or use dcc chat), or however you go to your bot's console and rehash your bot. You need to see this line in the console: "QuoteEngine 1.3 loaded" In case you cannot see it, you did something wrong. Check again the guide. :)

   Usage

   1. You have to set "+quoteengine" flag to the channel where you want to enable to use the commands provided by the script. You can do this via the bot's console with command: .chanset <#channelname_here> +quoteengine
   2. If you did everything right, now you will be able to use commands as:

   !addquote -- add a quote !getquote <#number> -- get the quote of # !randquote -- get a random quote !delquote <#number> -- delete a quote !quotehelp -- list of all available command

   Note: some of the commands are limited bot owners, masters, etc.. Check QuoteEngine.tcl for further details. (

   You need to check the "bind pub" lines. :)
   m,f,o,v are flags (rights) which you can have in the bot
   

   )

   Webpage setup

   !! The php part - so the webiste - won't work, because the code is for php5, so on php7 it wont work. !! I don't recommend anyone to install php5 anymore. !! In case you are into coding and have free time, feel free to contribute to this project, !! rewrite the code and open a pull request! !! Help is much appreciated! :) !! Thanks in advance!

   For php5 the instructions are:

   1. Put the files in the www directory in the right place in your webserver
   2. Edit settings.sample.inc to have the right details, and rename to settings.inc
   3. Profit
