Full Version: Can this be done and how?

I'm trying to split up the quote boxes. What I want to do is make the quote cite separate from the quote body.

Can it be done and how would I do it?
What templates would this be in and what code do I look for?

I want it to go FROM this:

[attachment=25430]

To look like this:

[attachment=25431]
Open class_parser.php in inc folder and find


Quote:$span = "";
if(!$delete_quote)
{
$span = "<span>{$date}</span>";
}

return "<blockquote><cite>{$span}".htmlspecialchars_uni($username)." $lang->wrote{$linkback}</cite>{$message}</blockquote>\n";
}

replace it with

Quote: $span = "";
if(!$delete_quote)
{
$span = "<span class=\"float_right\">{$date}</span>";
}

return "<blockquote class=\"author\">{$span}".htmlspecialchars_uni($username)." $lang->wrote{$linkback}</blockquote></blockquote><br /><br /><blockquote class=\"message\">{$message}</blockquote>\n";
}

Save it.

Open global.css that is used by your current forum theme and add:

Quote:blockquote.author {
border: 1px solid #ccc;
margin: 0;
background: #fff;
padding: 4px;
color:#000;
}


blockquote.message {
border: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 0;
background: #fff;
padding: 2px;
color:#000;
}
Oh, so not without a core file edit?

Thanks. Good info, I'll give it a try on my own site. Sadly I won't be able to distribute this in a theme though Sad
In this case only core edit.
