Hi

I have been looking for the quote style modification for ages now.

What I mean by the Quote style modification is totally a different quote look to vB's standard quote...

I saw it on a few forums and it actually had one big blue talking mark on the left and one on the right of the quote box. It looked nice.

Does anyone know which quote mod im talking about and know where I can find it?

Cheers

As far as I know, these are CSS edits.

Thanks

Open up IE (not sure if this works with firefox).
Go to a website that has vbulletin
View --> Source
Should have it listed there.

Well, there's a few amendments included to do all that... here's how to do it for the quote BBCode function.

1 - save the attached image as css_img_quote.gif to your webapsce. i saved mine to /images/misc

2 - replace the entire contents of template bbcode_quote with the following;<div class='quotetop'><b>Quote:</b><if condition="$show['username']"><phrase 1="$username"> ($vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x]</phrase>)</if></div>
<div class='quotemain'>$message</div>

3 - add the following to the Main CSS definition in AdminCP for your style (you can change the color values according to the look of your forum of course).quote
{
background-color: #F7F7F7;
color: #000000;
border-left:1px solid #FFFFFF;
}

.quotetop
{ background-color: #E4EAF2; background-image: url(http://yourdomaincom/yourforum/images/misc/css_img_quote.gif); (http://yourdomaincom/yourforum/images/misc/css_img_quote.gif%29;) background-position: right; background-repeat: no-repeat; border-left: 4px solid #8394B2; border-right: 1px dotted #000; border-top: 1px dotted #000; margin: 8px auto 0px auto; padding: 5px;
}

.quotemain
{ background-color: #FAFCFE; border-bottom: 1px dotted #000; border-left: 4px solid #8394B2; border-right: 1px dotted #000; /*border-top: 1px dotted #000;*/ color: #465584; margin: 0px auto 8px auto; padding: 5px;
}
And I believe you're probably good to go. Please let me know if this helps.


==========================================
REST NOT NEEDED FOR QUOTE STUFF ABOVE

PS: Sorry for not using the BBCode thing - but whenever I do this, it doesn't show correctly and shows different content. Here's the same code as you see in #2 but closed in the code tag...

<div class='quotetop'>Quote: ($vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x])
<div class='quotemain'>$message

See how much of the code is not there? What gives folks????:ermm:
