A Tidy Quotes for vB3 has already been released.

Although yours looks like a different design, I guess they are far from being the same? :)

Nice mod.

[Elmer]

very choppy in mozilla :confused:
Updated! now works in both browsers IE and mozilla.
Download it again ;)

A Tidy Quotes for vB3 has already been released. I knew. That modifications gaves me the idea of this one. ;)

[SaintDog]

Test


heh, I can't say much, I really like this one. I am going to install it here and see how things go :).

[SaintDog]

All installed and working great. I had to increase the images per post though because of the quotes, but it looks pretty nice if you ask me :)

[Asterik]

very nice :) i might use it for another theme im doin :D

[SaintDog]

Well good job on them, you won my attention over :)

[Elmer]

What do u mean?

[imported_PiotrasG]

i installed them on my Polish forum looks great nice job

[imported_mav]

I Have this problem..

have a look

[Elmer]

hmmm... ok wait a little i'll will post the fix to that.

[Elmer]

Ok here is the fix..

Find in the Quote With name, for this html code:


<td width="100%" background="images/quotes/quot-bye-bg.gif" align="left" valign="middle">
<span class="smallfont">Originally Posted by: <b>{option}</b></span>
</td>


and replace it with this:



<td width="100%" background="images/quotes/quot-bye-bg.gif" align="left" valign="middle" nowrap="nowrap">
<span class="smallfont">Originally Posted by: <i><b>{option}</b></i></span>
</td>

If you want just copy and paste, than download the zip file again. I have expanded the table to 70% instead of the 50% it was before and adding <i> to the quoted actor

take a look a THIS (http://www.2spoemas.com/foros/showthread.php?t=643) post to see how looks now.


If you want to change the with to the Simple Quote , just change to the firt <table> tag the with 50% for 70% ;)

[Bad Bunny]

You may want to make a note that you need to increase the amount of images allowed per post as these images currently do count towards the limit (I had to raise the limit, as mentioned before, here at vBT).

[imported_chris]

[Zachery]

actually you might have to try it to see if it works :\

[imported_boatdesign]

Glad to hear you like it :)
Beautiful!

[Bungie]

I really like it and I'd use it... But my forums are dark... Great job anyway. Mabye you'll make another version for dark forums. ;)

[imported_boatdesign]

I bet it wouldn't be too hard for you to modify it to work with your dark background by adjusting the colors and inverting/adjust levels in photoshop for the iamges...

[Bungie]

I thought about that also but I'm not that good in PS.

[PixelFx]

Off Topic: Heh, this is a nice place now that vB.org doesnt do vB3 hacks yet :D

[Werty]

Do you mean centered in the postbit? if is that what you want than put align="center" in the first <table> tag.

VBHispano, estas diciendo q conseguiste añadir el Round Quotes en una v.2.3.2? Y como instertas tanto HTML en los CustomVB Codes?

VBHispano, are you saying you managed to get Round Quotes work onto v2.3.2? How tha hell u put so many HTML tags onto Custom VB Codes?

Thanks!

Looks nice.

[Erwin]

Fix for the maximages problem

Note that just increasing the maximum number of images in Admin CP is not a good solution because if someone wants to put lots of quotes in their posts, they will hit the maximum - each quote has a minimum of 5 images. 10 quotes would be 50 images.

A better solution is to do this:

In the BBCode section for both Simple and Username Quotes, find in the HTML every instance of:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



And replace with:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



and delete the second occurance of WIDTH="15" in each of the img tag.

You do this 5 times in the Simple Quote, and 7 times (I think) in the Quote with Username.

Then, you need to do some hacking - apologies if this is not allowed - it's only a minor hack.

In includes/functions_newpost.php, find:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



Replace with:



Code:
---------------
Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.
---------------



That should do it. The quoting images will now NOT be counted as an image in posts. Smilies and other images will still be counted as usual.

How about an XHTML compliant version?

[Elmer]

How about an XHTML compliant version?I thought it was already compliant :O
however i'll check the code to make it XHTML compliant

EDITED: already XHTML complian dude ;)

example: http://www.vb-es.com/forums/a.html

[Zachery]

if it wasnt XHTML compliant make it your self :P not hard to change a few lines of code

[imported_ogden2k]

I thought it was already compliant :O
however i'll check the code to make it XHTML compliant

EDITED: already XHTML complian dude ;)

example: http://www.vb-es.com/forums/a.html It fails in the W3C Validator for XHTML compliancy... I could do it for you if you want?

edit: Ok, last night when I downloaded the file, the code was not compliant... You must of ment when you said EDITED, you edited your file.... Saves me work then! ;)

[Zachery]

its been stated that it isnt 100% accurate. why not check it your self for XHTML complincey by hand, its not hard


just tried both via the w3c validator, both passed 100%

[imported_ogden2k]

No man there's no vB2 version and does not work this mod with vB2.. hope to release it for vB2 soon but if anyone here want to release a version for vB2 would be great..

;)
Right now I'm trying to fit it into my vb 2.2.8
I just can't get the "quote with name" thing to work... but I'll find something out.
btw... in vb 2.2.8 the font size is like normalfont, any ideas how to make that smaller, it says it's smallfont but... hmm...

[Zachery]

Dexter will you port this to vb3 beta 7?

[Elmer]

Dexter will you port this to vb3 beta 7?
yes, I will port it as soon as the vb3 beta 7 is out ;)

[Elmer]

Ok people this modification has been ported to vBulletin 3 beta 7 read the first post of this thread for more info ;)


Regards.

[imported_Purdy]

Dexter,

This is a really pretty mod, but I have a problem.

If anyone can tell me what to put in the tag box for Quoting with username, in the BB Code Manager, (as I deleted it by mistake) I would be very grateful.

My simple quotes work fine but my quote with username no longer works, it just says Quote. Oh dear.

I am using v3 beta 6.

Help please someone.

[Elmer]

I think you should put quote but i'm not sure since i don't have beta 6.

regards ;)

[calvinnguyen]

Thanks alot.

[hollabizzack]

how do i change my text color in the quote,because my text is white and so is the quote background so it looks blank when i tried it,what should i do

[PAINTBALLM]

The following errors occured when this post was submitted:
You have included too many images in your signature or in your previous post. Please go back and correct the problem and then continue again.

Images include use of smilies, the vB code [img] tag and HTML <img> tags. The use of these is all subject to them being enabled by the administrator.

Thats the mesage I am getting when I try to quote a message, what can I do to fix this?

[Zachery]

upp the ammount of images per post

[PAINTBALLM]

I fixed this by setting the amount of pictures in a post/signature to 0 (disabled it)..

Seems to work great now!

[TheAnt]

I tried modifying this to make it work for code and PHP as well. But the images would not work- what do I have to do to make the images work"?

[Apostle]

I am having some problems with this on my forums (www.theapostleofgod.com/forums). When uploading the image folder, do I put the images in the folder, or the folder, into the misc folder?

--edit--
http://theapostleofgod.com/forums/showthread.php?t=3

I swear I can see images loading, but then I can't even highlight them and see properties.

[Elmer]

The folder quotes into the misc folder

.../misc/quotes/

;)

[Apostle]

Dexter, I simply can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I cut and pasted the text exactly into the bbcode_quote, and uploaded the folder with the images in it to the misc directory of my images. I just can't figure it out. www.theapostleofgod.com/forums is my board. I know you're busy, but if you could maybe try to quote something, and see what happens, I would appreciate it. It... doesn't do anything.

[Elmer]

I don't know what's wrong...
just look like the directory doesn't exist
ensure that you have that folder in the correct images folder for you forums and even if you have uploaded to the misc folder of the one spesified in the estyle you are currently using.

;)

[defiance]

Nice mod. I installed it and like it. What would you reccomend for image post icons? I have mine set for unlimited right now.

[Apostle]

Dexter, I loved this during my useage of beta7, and was wondering if this works/will be ported to the Gamma version?

[teksigns]

will this work with the new gamma release


if so .... what changes are needed

[Elmer]

I don't know guys but I promise to release a compatible version for gamma as soon as possible..

I'm going to work on that right now :)

[Elmer]

OK people this modification has been now ported to the actual version of vBulletin, GAMMA. Look in the first post of this thread to download it please.

Enjoy it

;)

[PGU]

i love it thank you

[Rids]

I loved it on 6, loved it on 7 and now I'm loving it on gamma :D

[Sal Collaziano]

The tops of my images were a little off. Everywhere there was a rounded top I had to move it up a bit. What might have happened? I'm using Gamma...

Dont know why, but It wont let me download

Also, which version of vB are you using, and which modification have you downloaded for that version?

Just tested on localhost and it works all fine.. hmm.

[Edit Again] Fixed it, bit of a bug i must have had when it ported over old vB2 styles on my online board. Runs sweet, nice mod, thanks! :)

[Elmer]

glad to hear it works ;)

THANKS! I added it - no problems. Your instructions were very clear.
Nice job!

[imported_chris]

can someone please make the images transparent so that this template can look good on forums without white background. my postbit color is not black and the quote images are white. looks a little messy on my forum.

someone please make a transparent images of the quote images.

thank you

[milkmycow]

rc1 update?

[imported_boatdesign]

As far as I can tell, this works great on RC1 as is. Just applied it to my local test forum running RC1.

[Zachery]

if it worked for gamma it should work for RCX+

[Elmer]

I am using vB Gamma and I am having the following bit of trouble displaying this correctly (see attached image) It's about a pixel off at the top

Any help will be appreciated...THANKS!
Actually, this is a problen with gamma. In the extra CSS there is a line to align the imgs to the middle "img { vertical-align: middle; }

If you erase that, will work correctly but some other images in your forum will not apear correctly i think ..

In RC1 that problem has been solved so I suggest you to upgrade asap ;)

[TYorke]

what is wrong with vbulletin.com?

It's always down now :(

[Zachery]

if you pm me i can give you the work around however ive been told not to publicy display it

[TYorke]

Check your PMs Faranth :)

As for RC-1 ... well I even upgraded to RC-2 and the quotes are still off. :(

[Zachery]

did you revert the extra CSS area?

[TYorke]

did you revert the extra CSS area?
Thank you Faranth, it worked like a charm. It also took care of that 'high chunk' that would appear at the bottom of the categories. It looks really nice now. Now, all I need is for the cells to align properly in categories, a welcome panel, and I'm good to go :D

Thanks again!

as your board is at serrious risk

i HIGHLY advise you upgrade to 2.3.4

I actually have 2.3.2

[mrsbuzzy]

I have 2 questions regarding this modification.

1) will it be compatable with "vBulletin Version 3.0.0 Release Candidate 2"

and

2) can the quote box be made wider at a set size? Say 400 pixels or maybe bigger?

I'm trying to incorporate it onto these forums http://www.parent-2-parent.com/forum/index.php? and would like the quotes to all be the same width, but larger.

Thanks!
Dawn

[StarBuG]

Works fine for RC2 no problems at all.

to 2) I just got a quick look for size definitions and it seems dynamical
You could change the % size in the < table > tags to your desired width ( minus the fix sizes for the grafics left, right and middle for quote or quote with name)
(It wouldn´t always be the EXACT same size cause a longer username add´s more px to the width then a shorter you only could make a fix size for the quote with name box as well that is wide enough to fit your largest username but I don´t think if this would look good)



Then it should fit fine into your forum

Greetings

ps: I hope this makes sence cause I´m totaly stoned :D

Any chance of getting the psd's to turn it dark for a dark skin?

Hi. I really like how this looks. My only problem is with PMs. They put a quote within a quote. I only want the last PM quoted. How do I do this?

[Induction Conce]

Are the images in this mod transparent? I mean how will they look on say a forum with a black or dark gray background?

[djohn]

there is no such thing as

2. look for "Custom BB Codes" on the side menu (go all the way down)
3. Click on the "BB Code Manager" link
3. Look for the "Simple Quoting" section and click Edit

Is this working for Version 3.0.3

[GraphicW]

Yes, this works for VB 3.03. Just make sure you upload the image files to /forums/images/misc/quotes

Place this in the bbcode_quote template:



Code:

Code is only visible to licensed users, and only when logged into the forums.

I just installed it this exact way and it worked perfectly on my board.

[mkdevo]

i know this is old, but it still works, and i'm hoping someone can help me out:

when using this with a dark theme (white text), how can i change the quote text from white to black so it shows up in the new quote boxes?

thanks..

[Warlord]

You can just change the background color of the quote images in the template "bbcode_quote", just search for FFFFFF(white) and replace it with 000000 (to make it black). That way your white text will appear against a black background.

Use the dark images that someone made for it earlier in this thread, if you have a dark background.


My question though, where in the Admin CP is the option to change the number of images in a post?

[92GreenGT]

Crap, can someone give me the code to uninstall this hack?

I really do love it but I got to revert back to the old one.:(
