Thanks, I have been wanting to do this.

Got this already, but nice mod:)

Ah, this hack is great, worked like a charm. Thanks for posting it...

rather nice *adds to forums*

it's a bit messed up if u have a multiple quotes hack installed.. especially if u have 3 or more quotes selected. :( any fix?

ummm where do i insert

<table width='95%' align='center'><tr> <td><font face='Arial' size=1 color=#616889>Quote:</font></td>
</tr><tr><td class='mytable'>{param}</td></tr></table>

it said look for head insert in custom vb codes while editing the quote boxes. but there is no head insert.

There's a field called vB Code Replacement, small box. You should replace that code with the code already in the box. The image attached shows you what it looks like.

There is a fix on either vb.com or vb.org, I'll have to find it if SaintDog or someone else doesn't before me.

cool.. thanks.. :)

great hacks
installed ..thx

works fine thanks

Is there a way to get the 'Originally Posted By' text on top of the box rather than inside of it? Preferably right after 'Quote:'?

yeah can you explain how you do this for the [code] box?

Thanks a lot! Installed right away!

have u find it yet? coz ive lookin' around to vb.org, but cant seem to find it.. :(

Please note the Quote, PHP, and Code boxes used here are not one in the same as the template modification posted here, we used a hack from vBulletin.org (would use the template modification but it was already set before the mod was added to the DB).

Hi,
i tried now several times to change that... but i always recieve the following Error Message:

.pagenumstatic { color: #000000; background-color: #DFDFDF; border-color: #000000; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; width: 1em; text-decoration: none; } .pagenum A:link, .pagenum A:visited, .pagenum A:active { color: #000088; background-color: #FF9900; border-color: #000000; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; width: 1em; text-decoration: none; } .pagenum A:hover { color: #000000; background-color: #DFDFDF; text-decoration: none; border-color: #000000; border-style: solid; border-width: 1px; margin: 0px; padding: 0px; padding-left: 4px; padding-right: 4px; padding-top: 1px; padding-bottom: 1px; width: 1em; text-decoration: none; } .cat A:link, .cat A:visited, .cat A:active { color: #000020; text-decoration: none; } .cat A:hover { color: #FF4400; text-decoration: underline; }

Where is my mistake?

Finally a managed it to work. Thx for that great Hack.

this messed up my board with the code at the top untill i took the < /style > out then it worked a treat ?????

Works beautifully :D

Id like to point out in the instructions of this mod, the closing </style> tag, now in these instructions it says to replace with this code, if you do as per the instructions, your NOT removing the original closing </style> tag.

So what is the correct install for this mod?

If you only replace as per instructions, your going to leave a lot of code hanging in your header looking offly ugly.

1. Login to your Admin Control Panel
2. Scroll down the left menu and find "Styles" (Click Modify)
3. Find the "Header Insert" section find:

.thtcolor {
COLOR: #000000;
}

4. Replace it with the following and Click save (You may need to modify the colors):

.thtcolor {
COLOR: #000000;
}
.mytable { border: 1px #616889 solid; background-color: #EBECF1; font-family:
Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: 10px; color: #333333;
text-decoration: none;}
</style>

Note:

Im running vb 2.2.6 and vbportals, if that makes a difference?

All you are doing is adding CSS code into your style sheet. You just need to make sure that any code you add is before the </style> tag. Oh, and there should only be one </style> tag. :)

Thanks for a simple, attractive solution!

I accidentally deleted the vB code tag for the quote function in the Custom vB Codes at the Control Panel! I would like to get this back but I do not know the codes for this. Can anyone please tell me what codes I must fill in for the following...

vB Code tag:
vB Code replacement:
vB Code example:
vB Code explanation:

Again, thanks again. :)

w00t d*mn nice m8 :D

thanks -- worked on the first try

was my first mod too!

oh and this is my first post here -- thanks for the great site!

ok -- was working great - now it doesnt-- here is what i have done:

installed the quote box mod in 2 seperate styles -- works in both no problem

install the page nav blocks in 1 mod and then the quote box does not work in that style

removed both styles - (back to default) tried again
same results -- seems to work untill i add the code into the headinclude for the page nav blocks

any ideas?

I read in this thread that there is a hack on vB.org to get the PHP & CODE vbcodes to look similar to this template modification. Could anybody guide me to that thread? Big thanx if possible ^^;

Here you go [link].

Nice modification, thanks:)

Thanks you for this nice modification -> installed

ok in the instructions it says to browse to the "head insert" section after clicking on the edit for quote, i dont see this in there?

this is what i see:

Edit vB Code: [quote]
vB Code tag


vB Code replacement
<blockquote><smallfont>quote:</smallfont><hr>{param}<hr></blockquote>

vB Code example


vB Code explanation
The quote tag is used to denote a quote from another post

Use {option} ?
Yes No


help?

Must be a mistake because there's no head insert for me either.

Yeah thats not the only mod on the forum with a typo in it either, front_links_hack2 also has a error in the instructions.

Can anybody show the correct way to get the quote mod to work, ive tried a few things and have had no luck?

tia snakes

wasn't this done over at vbulletin.org before? that one also added color to the boxes....what's the advantage of using this mod over the hack at vbulletin? (i'm guessing just the fact that u don't have to mod any files, but yeah)

*installed*

thanks.

hm inserting @ the moment, lets hope it worx :D ty
