Neat Quotes

Well, I was doing some work today and I thought, "This might look pretty nice as a 'quote' on vBulletin" so I made it up real quick.

What does it do? Simple, it changes vBulletins default "quote" look and makes it a little bit better (in my opinion).

Instructions:

Go into your admincp, and navigate to your style options:
(admincp / Styles & Templates / Style Manager / All Style Options)
Note: you will need to do this for every style you want the neat quotes on.

Scroll down towards the bottom and find the "Additional CSS Definitions" and paste the following in there:

/* ***** new quote styles ***** */
.bbcquote{
	background: #FFF;
	border: 1px solid #C2CFDF;
	border-top: 4px solid #C2CFDF;
	color: #333366;
	padding: 5px;
	font-size: 9px;
}

.bbcquotetitle{
	font-weight: bold;
	font-size: 10px;
	border: 0px;
	border-bottom: 1px dashed #003366;
	color: #003366;
	padding-bottom: 3px;
	margin-bottom: 5px;
}

Now edit the bbcode_quote template:
(Templates / BB Code Layout Templates / bbcode_quote)

Replace *everything* with:

<div class="bbcquote">
	<if condition="$show['username']">
		<div class="bbcquotetitle">$vbphrase[quote]: <phrase 1="$username">$vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x]</phrase></div>
		<div>$message</div>
	<else />
		<div class="bbcquotetitle">$vbphrase[quote]:</div>
		<div>$message</div>
	</if>
</div>

Good work.

Something I don't understand...

in the css for .bbcquote if I add :

'font-style: italic;'

it makes the title of the quote italic too, why would it do that?

Thanks

[mfizzel]

Nevermind, fixed it by adding 'font-style: normal;' to the .bbcquotetitle css
