config/quotes.config.json

{
  "allowedSubmitterDiscordIds": ["111111111111111111"],
  "latestChannelId": "222222222222222222",
  "createQuoteChannelId": "333333333333333333",

Notes

Bot requires access to the configured channels.
Only users in allowedSubmitterDiscordIds can submit quotes (web and /create-quote).
If latestChannelId is set, every quote is also posted there.
If createQuoteChannelId is set, /create-quote can only be used in that channel.
Without createQuoteChannelId, /create-quote is allowed in channels named create-quote.
Web form uploads are optional and stored in uploads/ (served from /uploads/<filename>).
Allowed web upload file types: images, video/audio files, .txt, .pdf, .zip, .7z, .rar (max 100 MB).

Discord command quote creation

Use /create-quote in your create-quote channel.
Select speaker from the dropdown choices.
Enter quote text in the command form.
The quote is posted like web submissions and includes who created it.
