*********************************************
By C?dric Claerhout and Calorie


-Description-

This modification allows you to have new looks for quote, code, phg and html bbcodes. The installation is automatic ; the setup is very easy.


-Features-

• Five news looks for bbcodes in order to enhance your messages : Light bbcode set ; Dark bbcode set ; Pastel bbcode set ; Simple bbcode set and Simple bbcode with transparency b/g. Configure this sets according to your styles. If you forget or don't want to specify a set for a style, it will use the defaut vB display.
• GIF or PNG formats available for pictures. Autodetect IE 6 function to use gif extension for this browser. In order to work efficiently the Cached Posts Lifespan must be set to 0 in vB options
• This hack works with vBa CMPS : it uses special templates to avoid to break the front page. The detection is automatic (since 1.31 version).
• You can configure : the left margin of bbcode, the color and the size of text.
• You can set a link to quoted user profile. It creates a clickable link between the person's username being quoted and her profile.
• Mono or double bubbles for simple quote bbcode | special behaviour for quotes of light, dark and pastel sets.

-Installation-

1. Upload "bbcodemanager" pictures directory in vBulletin images directory : /forums/images/
2. Import the product xml file
3. Configure the mod in vBulletin options -> "BBcode templates manager"

-15/07/2006 : version 1.22b released ; link to a picture corrected
-14/07/2006 : version 1.22 released ; code is simpler ; use now $style[styleid] variable instead of $styleid ->allow guests to see the right bbcode set
-12/07/2006 : version 1.21 released ; now you can config several style ids (for real this time)
-12/07/2006 : version 1.2 released ; new installation procedure ; many big problems corrected ; html code of new bbodes templates updated ; tested and validated XHTML
-03/07/2006 : now you can config several style ids

-Important-

• To update from 1.30 just import the product file
• To uninstall version 1.1 or version 1.2, you have to follow a specific procedure described in the archive.
  
  
• [s]To avoid display problems, i strongly advice you to set the "Code Block Width" (available in you style options) to 100%. If you prefer pixels, choose a little value ; especually if you're using legacy postbit. Never enter "auto" otherwise it won't work.[/s]
  The "Code Block Width" must be in pixels Otherwise there are too numerous problems. So forget my advice to put a value in %. It must be in pixels. In 800x600 there is a display problem, but it's the same thing with vb default templates. So i guess we can't do anything.
• If the text display doesn't suite you, you can do easily what you want. Just turn off the "CSS BBcode text" module and create the CSS : .bbcode
  Do it on your own : you won't be helped for this.

Installed, using RC3 working great, haven't check anything for IE on my forums but that's ok, FF ftw.

Hi dude... nice mod, just wondered if you could advise me further... if you check the attached which is using the 70% tr style i seem to have problems getting colours to work with the text within the quote... an extra css def seems to be ignored... as you can see the best i can do is make it whiter... should i perhaps concider making the PNG files for this style/quote more transparent?

cheers

Okay. Got it installed. Working fine.

However, I would like the quote to be more indented. I'd like a little more space on the left-hand side. How do I do that?

Also, I want the text within the quote to be larger. Do you know where I set that?

Then, there is one little thing that I don't have a good idea for yet. In the 3.6, when quoting a post, IF there is a quote, you get that quote link. Great. Now, with this installed, you get the quote graphic, but you have no idea at all if it is an active link or just a nice graphic--especially with all the old posts that don't have the links. You have to move your mouse to hover over it, to determine if you can click to the quoted post or not.

Actually, perhaps a great workaround for that is add some logic that uses one color of the quote for clickable and a different color of the quote for non-clickable post references. Yes, that would be quite satifactory for me! I kind of like the idea of two different colors of quotes anyway. This is a good way to spice up the visual a bit. For those that want a monochromatic look, they can still use the same color!

Also, it would have been nice if vB had made the person's user name being quoted clickable to their profile to do a quick look at them or their other posts. It's a perfect spot for that to make it more usable. Any chance that can be included in this?

Yeah, I was going to ask that too, haven't had time myself yet to search through it to find out.

[Bulent Tekcan]

I'm happy to have at least that question ! The answer is YES Since the begining, multi quote is working. But for light, dark and pastel sets, there's a tip : just clic on the big "

Easy isn't it ?

You will have to modify this :

<if condition="$show[username]"><i>$message</i><else />$message</if>

Into this i think :

<div style="padding-left:XXpx"><if condition="$show[username]"><i>$message</i><else />$message</if></div>

But using div tag can be a problem with IE or FF... I don't remember, you have to test it. I won't do it because i fed up with browsers compatibility ; i've spent too much time

Oh, i was wrong above, someone has noticed the system You've got a great idea, as soon as i'll find time to do this, i'll release an update. But i'm not sure it will be an option. There are enough options and i like the idea. Thanks.

I thought i've made the text color in quote only in black... Why did you change it ? If you still want to change the color, you can edit templates xxx_simple_tr and change "color:black;" in what you want.

[cavyspirit]

I think you misunderstood what I was looking for in moving the quote more to the right. I want the whole thing moved. Graphics and all.

Actually, here is where I think I want to make a change (in the template):

<!-- Dark bbcode_quote-->
<div dir="ltr" style="align:right;margin-top:15px;margin-bottom:5px;width:90%;color:black;">
<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0">
<tr>

The 90% is about perfect, but the whole quote is still lined up on the left. I want it lined up on the right or preferrably, CENTERED. But align:right or align:center isn't taking.
