Png Rounded Quotes (PRQ) version 3.10 - Valid XHTML 1.0

Author: C?dric Claerhout

Thanks to : Elmer, Natch and d00d

Hack description: This hack, based on Elmer?s one, turns the traditional quotes into round quotes with PNG images as border. You can use it with light and dark backgrounds without any graphical problems. For Gif supporters, just use the adobe psd file include to create pictures yourself.

Instructions:

First of all, you HAVE to install that hack.
Link : https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showthread.php?t=93415 (need vB 3.5 RC)

It will allow png picture transparency work with Internet Explorer.

Then download the zip file and follow the instructions:

1. Login to your Admin Control Panel
2. In the Styles & Templates category, click on Style Manager and expand the group of templates in your prefered style, by clicking on the [<<>>] button.
3. Select the group of templates BB Code Layout. Click the 'Expand/Collapse' button, or double-click the group name to expand or collapse the BB Code Layout ? group of templates.
3. Now select the template bbcode_quote. Double-click the template name or click the 'Customize' button to edit this template.
4. Replace all the content in the template field withd the code provided in the txt file in the zip below.
5. Upload the folder "quotes" (or quotestr) containing all the images to your misc images directory of your style :

[style]/images/misc

Notes:

>You have to increase the amount of images to use in a post through your admin cp, because this mod use images and it counts as post images.
>If new png quotes pictures don?t appear immediately in your old messages, don?t panic and just wait. If you're hurry, just write a new message and it will work.
>I give you the PDF file so that you can modify if you want the quotes. Now it?s easy to do. I give you also a picture that helps you to localise where each segment of the PSD goes.
>Of course i?ve tested this hack, both in IE and Mozilla, and it works great.

Bonus
Once installed, you can make your code, html and php tags the same look if you want. Just go into the option directory included in the zip file, and replace the templates of each of this tags by the content of the text files.
N.B : For those three bbcode, the width depends on the value indicated in "All Style option" under "Code Block Width (pixels)".

It would have been nice if you have read the instructions to make this hack work with IE v.6. Everything is explained. Just install the png transparency hack.

Other than that it looks great.

Same here, I've instructed my news mods not to post anything with quotes, which is quite a feat as they are truly fond of their quotes........:ermm:

The problem comes from CMPS. My code is considered like basic text when CMPS counts the number of caracters. It means if you have specified in CMPS a X maximum caracters to display, the code included into the quote template will be counted too ! Just try to enter "0" in the maximum caracter to display of CMPS news module and you will see it will work. But i know, that's not a good solution.

You should contact Brian to ask him if there is a way to exclude the code template from the text message, otherway create a new bbcode with a short code like this :

<div style="padding:$stylevar[cellpadding]px"><fieldset class="fieldset"><legend style="font-size: 11px;color:black;font-weight:bold;">Article:</legend>{param}</fieldset>
</div>

(176 caracters)

[gothicuser]

Thats great cclaerhout, Works well, and as we only use 'Headlines' in the news forums (linking back to threads in other forums) there is no issue with the number of characters being too long.
Thanks again.
