Obsolete
Nice mod mate :)
It's compatible to 1.1.6 aswell.
A question... How would you go about adding the closing quotation??
Would you be willing to add this also?
Thanks mate :)
It had been my understanding (an incorrect one as it turns out) that the new quote style would be included in the Beta 4 release. Obviously that wasn't the case so I went ahead and released the mod.
I had been using this mod package on my Beta 3.1 sites so it was just a matter of slapping a screen shot on it and releasing the package, and no additional work necessary. A "free" mod so to speak.
So it works on 1.1.6? I haven't had any time available to test my mods on older SMF versions.
So thats a no? lol
Cheers
No closing quote. You will have to satisfy your grammarian urges somewhere else other than my mod. :)

Didn't work on 1.1.6 for me. Well, the package installer didn't anyway, I'll poke around the manual method and see if it works.
Works fine if you manually implement it. :)
Yeah, the package is set to install only on smf2.x.x
So it would only install if you edit that to accept 1.x.x, or manually install it.
I forgot to mention that for others, as I usually manually install and well..... just forgot lol ;)
P.S.
Had a good laugh at your handle
I'm checking it out right now. It never occurred to me to see if it worked on 1.1.6. Unfortunately I've got a problem with my 1.1.6 test site and I'm in the middle of resetting the files.
Please! That's Equus asinus Handler. ;)
The mod itself definitely works on 1.1.6, just the package installer needs to updated to let it know.
Please be advised that I have added SMF 1.1.6 compatibility to this mod package.
As far as I know it should be compatible with all SMF versions.
Hi,
My site us hebrew. How can i change it to rtl, so the Quote will appear at the right position?
Hi Efil!
My friend Sabre has already done that (both sides actually) and I've invited him to join us and tell you how to get it done. I'm pretty sure he'll be by later today because he too is a great SMF enthusiast. He is better able to help you since he's already done it where I would have to do some research and testing first.
Hey Sabre, you around? :)

OK
I installed it manually in my 1.1.6 forum and it works. But i only made the change that comes in the modification1.xml file, since i was unable to find "blockquote" on my theme's style.css. Is this ok?
Also:
QuoteThis modification reduces the SMF footer to minimal size by removing the MySQL, PHP & W3C images. Only the copyright notice remains. This is often done when advanced themes are applied. This modification does the same for the SMF default theme. The "Display time taken to create every page" display is not affected.
is this the right description of this mod? :P
I was obviously working on multiple projects at the same time. :) (I've fixed the typos.)
As long as it works it's okay. It's probably that your theme just added a CSS rather than replacing the default CSS. It is okay for pages to have multiple CSS files, that's how CSS works.
Hi,
My custom theme can't works well with this mod, so i install it manually
after replacing the code
.quote
{
font-weight: normal;
font-size: 1em;
line-height: 1.4em;
font-family: "Lucida Grande", "Trebuchet MS", Helvetica, Arial, sans-serif;
background-color: #F2F2F2;
color: #000000;
}
with
.quote
{
background: url(images/quote_bg.png) 5px 5px no-repeat #F0F3FC;
border: 1px solid #AAA;
margin: 1px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 28px;
font-size: x-small;
line-height: 1.4em;
}
what should i deal with the ".quoteheader"
.quoteheader
{
margin: 10px 5px 0 5px;
padding: 4px;
border-width: 1px 1px 1px 1px;
border-style: solid;
border-color: #3C71A3;
border-bottom: 8px solid #c2c2c2;
color: #c2c2c2;
background: transparent;
font-size: 0.85em;
font-weight: bold;
}
I just deleted it away, but still can't get what exactly i want
(http://img204.imageshack.us/img204/3240/19006134jg2.png)
what should i do to let it become just like yours?
p/s: for manual installation, do i still need to upload the package and execute it in my admin panel?
thanks :D

@ kanza
I'd "guess" you'd leave the .quoteheader code, as it is for the header of the quote.
Your quote image looks exactly how it should be.
What do you mean to make it look like Deprecateds? It does.
You will not need to install the mod package if youve manually installed it, unless you change the package so it installs into your custom theme, which will make uninstalling it a faster process if needed.

PM returned Father Luke :)
Thanks, Sabre™.
I've made a poast in the coding section as you requested,
asking if anyone can figure out how to close the quotes.
Sorry to hear about your troubles. And I won't ask about
back-ups and the like. I always hated losing things, and then
having good people asking me if I had a back-up.
Fare thee well, mate.

Hi, i can? :-\
1.- In Subs.php
Search: array(
'tag' => 'quote',
...
'before' => ....... '</div><blockquote>',
'after' => '</blockquote>',
'block_level' => true,
),
Replace: array(
'tag' => 'quote',
...
'before' => ....... '</div><blockquote>
<div class="blockquote2">',
'after' => '
</div></blockquote>',
'block_level' => true,
),
2.- CSS:
.blockquote
2{
background: url('images/quote_bg
2.png') bottom right no-repeat;
// + other styles, if you like
}

While I am very grateful that you took the time to work on this,
I didn't find it?
I'm working with SMF 1.1.7, and I'm looking at Sources/Subs.php
I do find:
array(
'tag' => 'quote',
'before' => '<div class="quoteheader">' . $txt['smf240'] . '</div><div class="quote">',
'after' => '</div><br />',
'block_level' => true,

'link' => array('match' => '(?:board=\d+;)?((?:topic|threadid)=[\dmsg#\./]{1,40}(?:;start=[\dmsg#\./]{1,40})?|action=profile;u=\d+)'),
'date' => array('match' => '(\d+)', 'validate' => 'timeformat'),

'before' => '<div class="quoteheader"><a href="' . $scripturl . '?{link}">' . $txt['smf239'] . ': {author} ' . $txt[176] . ' {date}</a></div><div class="quote">',

'before' => '<div class="quoteheader">' . $txt['smf239'] . ': {author}</div><div class="quote">',
'after' => '</div><br />',
'block_level' => true,
),but nothing with blockquote.
Ideas?
Again, thank you for your response.

Ok, for SMF 1.1.X not <blockquote>, seek
<div class="quote">Search: array(
'tag' => 'quote',
...
'before' => ....... '</div><div class="quote">',
'after' => '</div><br />',
'block_level' => true,

Worked.
Very nice work.
Thank you much.

Okay,
Father Luke
It didn't work with me...
I have SMF 1.1.7 and added "<div class="blockquote2"> and </div> and the result is the same...
Well, the usual questions:
Do you have a custom theme installed?
Did you replace each instance (yes there are more than one) ?
--
Okay,
Father Luke
I did replace each instance (four, i think) but I just saw the css file modification :P
But i don't have blockquote in my style.css... instead, i have this:
.quote
{
background: url(images/quote_bg.png) 5px 5px no-repeat #F0F3FC;
border: 1px solid #AAA;
margin: 1px;
padding: 5px 5px 5px 28px;
font-size: x-small;
line-height: 1.4em;
What should i do?

I believe it would work best to follow directions and add to your .css file.
Once you have followed directions, do please come
back and tell us if it hasn't worked for you.

Ok, thank you for your help.
It already shows the second image, but it's not quite right. I think there's a LINE break missing somewhere...
You can see here (http://www.docspt.com/index.php/topic,5920.0.html).
I would like to have the text below the first image and above the second. O:)
wOOt!! Thanks M-DVD 8)
I've attached the package I updated for my own sites, for those uneasy about manual edits.
I have no smf2 board running, so haven't tested the edits for that. But it looks ok to me lol
As always, I will remove it upon request :)

Hi, Sabre. Do you managed to correct this?
QuoteI would like to have the text below the first image and above the second. O:)
Hi mate,
A little play in your css file should do the trick.
Add
padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;
beneath "blockquote2"
So it now looks like this
.blockquote2
{
background: url('images/quote_bg2.png') bottom right no-repeat;
padding: 10px 0px 10px 0px;
}
The first 10px should adjust the top quote image, and the second 10px should adjust the closing quote.
Adjust the values until you have it displayed how you like.
Good luck :)
Thank you very, very much Sabre (once again ;))
It works beautifully!
Cheers.
hahaa
always my pleasure mate :)
Enjoy
Hi, nice mod.
It installed without error on ver 1.1.7.
Something odd, though:
On Firefox Browser, you cannot see the initial " graphic.
But you see it just fine on IE7 Browser.
Otherwise it's just fine. --still looks better than the original quote box colors.
Sorry My mistake. It was just a Browser cache issue (on my machine), immediately after I installed the Mod on the forum. Afterward, when cache refreshed, Firefox displayed the Mod exactly the same as IE7.
Any chance for add background image like:
(http://hosting03.imagecross.com/image-hosting-th-06/8417quote.gif) (http://www.imagecross.com/03/image-hosting-view-06.php?id=8417quote.gif)
Thx in advanced :) !
I've tried to install this mod for a long time in my forum but I just can't. I even managed to install it properly in a test forum similar to the other one (same language, same theme - SMF default with colour variation in Black - and of course, same version, 1.1.8 ) but nothing seems to work on the main one.
First, I've tried to install it automatically but it gave me two errors while executing subs.php and style.css. Last time I've uninstalled and then installed again it gave me no errors, but also didn't work. I've tried to do the process manually, but it's still the same thing. I've tried to modify the subs.php and the style.css files according to the modifications in 1.1.3 (the version I'm using... but I've also tried and 1.1.2 and didn't work) and even according to the working files in my test forum. Both failed to do the trick.
Can somebody help me? I'll send you all the files you need to identify the problem, just ask. Thank you very much.
Hello Deprecated,
I love this mod a lot, and installed it at the beginning of my first smf forum. it worked for a month without problem, but yesterday i found out that it didn't work any more. When I wanted to uninstall it, i got this:
"
!!
Error in Package Installation
At least one error was encountered during a test installation of this package. It is strongly recommended that you do not continue with installation unless you know what you are doing, and have made a backup very recently. This error may be caused by a conflict between the package you're trying to install and another package you have already installed, an error in the package, a package which requires another package that you don't have installed yet, or a package designed for another version of SMF.
Uninstall Actions
Uninstall Actions "Prettier_Quotes":
Installing this package will perform the following actions:
Type Action Description
1. Execute Modification ./Themes/default/style.css Test failed
2. Delete File ./Themes/default/images/quote_bg.png"
now what can i do to make it work again? Thank you very very much.
@ PhiLiz and neverhurry
Do you still require assistance with this?
Anyone was trying this mod with DilberMC ?
I think, this is not so easy.... :-X
It will work with the dilber mc theme.
You just need to add the CSS code to the style.css file and it will work on all of the themes colours.
But the background of the quote image will be the same for each theme, as the attached image below will show you.
You could add the CSS code to All of the colours css files eg. style_lightblue.css, style_lightbrown.css, and add a new quote_bg image in your images folder, for each of the themes colours.
You would have to make slight changes to the quote_bg name for each colour of course ;)
eg. quote_bg1, quote_bg2, quote_bg3 and so on n so forth.
I hope that helps a little.
Good luck :)
Managed to install manually onto a blackrain v2 theme (2.0 rc1-1) yet there are no quote images.
Am I missing something? If so what?
The mod is working properly now.
BUT
Due to the forums theme being black and members using white text is there a way of making the background a different colour?
Works FINE in DILBERMC THEME after editing the CSS FILES.
Cheers.
:D

replace the red part for another hexadecimal color

Ahh yes of course!
Thanks Costa 8)
canbe it updated to support the latest 2.0 rc version?
do the edits mannually, this trick works in rc1.2 without any problem
This mod works on ver 1.1.11 on any theme. Just edit the style.css manually & put the image on theme/images.
(http://img143.imageshack.us/img143/2161/quoteur.jpg)
How come my quote symbol is backwards?
