Miscellaneous Hacks - Better Quote Box (just like on vbulletin.org)

Upload this image to your image/misc folder:

Add this to your Additional CSS:

PHP Code:

.quote {
    margin:15px 10px;
    background: url(images/misc/q.gif) 0 0 no-repeat;
    padding-left:25px}
blockquote.bq {
    font: italic 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    border-left:3px solid #ccc; 
    margin:0px;
    padding:0 5px} 

then replace templates bbcode_quote and blog_bbcode_quotewith this code:

PHP Code:

<div style="margin:3px; margin-top:5px; <if condition="$show['iewidthfix']">width: 100%;</if>">
    <table cellpadding="$stylevar[cellpadding]" cellspacing="0" border="0" width="100%">
    <tr>
        <td><div class="quote" style="margin-bottom:2px">
            <if condition="$show['username']">
                <div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:2px">
                    <phrase 1="$username">$vbphrase[originally_posted_by_x]</phrase>
                    <if condition="$postid"><a href="showthread.php?$session[sessionurl]p=$postid#post$postid" rel="nofollow"><img class="inlineimg" src="$stylevar[imgdir_button]/viewpost.gif" border="0" alt="$vbphrase[view_post]" /></a></if>
                </div>
                <blockquote class="bq" style="font-style:italic">$message</blockquote>
            <else />
                <blockquote class="bq" style="font-style:italic">$message</blockquote>
            </if>
        </div></td>
    </tr>
    </table>
</div> 

Done!


And here is what it looks like:

==========================
If you want to have quote at the end then upload this image to misc folder and use this css instead.

PHP Code:

.quote {
    margin:15px 10px;
    background: url(images/misc/q.gif) 0 0 no-repeat;
    padding-left:25px}
blockquote.bq {
    background: url(images/misc/q1.gif) no-repeat bottom right;
    font: italic 10pt verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
    border-left:3px solid #ccc; 
    margin:0px;
    padding:0 5px}

Thanks for this! But is it possible to have a quote at the end, too?

.... i have not so good abilities in coding but I think you can easily add a vertical flipped version of the quote icon at the end of the code... (I have no time atm for testing it myself ^^) or wait for the coder who possibly can add your request... because your idea interesst me too

I'd be interested in adding this if it could be coded to include the end quote.
I always thought it looked unfinished when I see it used on vborg.

Yeah, that what I was talking about. It looks like a bit incomplete so it would be nicer if there's one at the end as well.
