Quote Source Mod v1.4





Introduction:
This Mod adds a new quote attribute, useful when quoting sources from outside your forum.

Features:
When using the quote function you now have the option of the source= attribute similar to quote author= attribute. However this will add a clickable link to a URL of your choosing to the Quote From:Name.

For example previously you could type...
[quote author=Authors Name]Quoted text[/quote]
to get
Quote from: Authors NameQuoted text
or
[quote author=http://somesiteurl.com]Quoted text[/quote]
to get
Quote from: http://somesiteurl.comQuoted text

This mod now gives the option to use
[quote source=Authors Name link=Link to URL]Quoted text[/quote]
to get
Quote from: Authors Name
Quoted text

In a quote box, feature not available till mod is installed.

Installation:
To install, simply upload the entire zip file to the package manager (Admin -> Package Manager -> Download New Packages).
This mod should install under all versions of SMF and under all themes as it only changes source code in the ./Sources/Subs.php

Compatibility:
Tested under SMF Versions 1.1.7 - 1.1.10 and 2.0 RC1 - 2.0 RC2

Nice mod. Well done Garou :)

Du solltest die Sourcezeile abändern, um eine Systemunabhängigkeit sicherzustellen, hatte auf meinen Linux-Server Probleme
nachdem ich die source zeile wie folgt geändert habe gings:

'source' => array('match' => '(.{1,192}?)', 'validate' => 'parse_bbc'),

You should change the line "source" because \w+ is not System independent, on my Linux Server the mod only run after change the line into:

'source' => array('match' => '(.{1,192}?)', 'validate' => 'parse_bbc'),

Garou

Thanks, Ill keep that in mind for a future update. Since I borrowed code from one of Yutt's old outdated mods, I assumed the w+ was needed to make the mod work the way I wanted.

Should work just fine under any 1.1.x or 2.x versions of SMF but I haven't had the chance to test with the latest versions.

This mod don't work in my SMF 1.1.10.

Why it possible?

TAI06GR pointed out out several posts back that some servers can not handle the code "\w+".

He sugested that...
'source' => array('match' => '(\w+)'),
be replaced with...
'source' => array('match' => '(.{1,192}?)', 'validate' => 'parse_bbc'),

I never tested this myself as I could not find any information supporting his claim, in fact  \w+ is a pretty standard regular expression. I don't know why it wouldn't work unless maybe the host is using an outdated version of php or something.

None the less TAI06GR's suggestion should work, as SMF uses that variation in a few places.

When he wrote this, I didn't understood, what he mean. Now fix — and all working! Thnx!

How about change 'source' to 'author'? For uniformity?

#13
When I originally wrote/borrowed the code from yutt's World of Warcraft Blizzard Quote BBC...

I was helping to moderate a friends site. He wanted the ability to quote and credit other websites and outside sources. After asking for help, I found Yutt's mod and that wasn't what my friend wanted. He said it worked if you wanted to quote Blizzard but he wanted it to be used for any site and to integrate into the forum better.

To then I decided to take apart Yutt's mod and make it do what I wanted. I couldn't make it work using "quote author link" without breaking the other "author" options in the existing quote function. I then set it up so that it used a different BBC tag altogether, [a-quote] instead of the quote tag. That worked well enough for my friend so I left it at that.

Then a couple years later I had an epiphany that "source" made more sense then "a-quote" and I planed on changing the tag to [source] but I decided to try to make it work with the existing quote tag again. Again it failed and just for fun I though what if I changed "author" with "source" and it magically started working. So I went ahead and packaged it up as an official mod.

There are two other things I have thought of changing, to better differentiate the mod from the standard quote function. The first was either changing the BBC tag to [source] as originally planned and or changing the language string where it says "Quote from:" to "Source:"

Garou

Oops! I accidentally uploaded the development version of version 1.4 of the mod.   :-[

The old file may not install or work properly with the public version of SMF 2.0 RC2. There were some changes  between the charter and public versions of the SMF release but the file on the downloads page now should work. :)

PalmBeachPreps

Great mod.  Worry-free install on RC2

shadav

while I see that this mod is no longer supported but thank you for the mod :)

you missed a closing div, so that everything after the quote is still surrounded by the quoteheader ;)

the code to add should be

array(
'tag' => 'quote',
'parameters' => array(
'source' => array('match' => '(.{1,192}?)', 'validate' => 'parse_bbc'),
'link' => array('match' => '(((https?|ftps?)+(:\/\/)|www?)+(.+?))'),
),
'before' => '<div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote">' . $txt['quote_from'] . ': <a href="{link}">{source}</a></div><blockquote>',
'after' => '</blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div></div><br />',
'block_level' => true,
),

Why use it when the description makes it clear that you can do it without changes to SMF?
