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)".

Gif doesn't use the alpha transparency, so with dark backgrounds it's ugly.
The only problem with png is Internet Explorer. (well, it's second problem is that it cannot be animated. May be one day...).

This work cannot work with html tags, because with Internet Explorer the png background will come over the text and all links won't work.

I think it can work with php and code tags, but i'm not sure.

Ahhh, ok. I didn't know that.

I thought the qoutes hack released opn vbulltintemplates.com was with gifs, though. Maybe I'm remembering it wrong.

I'm using IE 6 and it shows up great for me now.

Correct, they were in gif and i made them in png rewriting the code.


I manage to make the php and code tags. Try them if you want. It's just a beginning. I think it can be improved. But i must find time to update my forum for vB 3.5

[Boofo]

Thank you, sir.

Installed!
cclaerhout thanks for your mod, you did a great work.

Could you change the 'thanks to Dexter' to Elmer, I was the author in vbtemplates.com I had Dexter as my username there but changed with my username here when they combined the forums...

anyways, thanks for your mod.

Ok, I tried the php and code ones you wanted me to try. The code one works but it is centered and needs to be lined up on the left. The php one is also centered but it is too wide and needs to be lined on the left also. Other than that, they work good.

Check in your Style Manager the "Code Block Width (pixels)", otherwise change in the optional templates (for php and code tags) this :

width="$stylevar[codeblockwidth]"

to

width="100%"

[Boofo]

That only made it worse.

The coede one is the right width but need to be left aligned. The php one is the one that is stretched.
