Full Version: Help changing how quotes appear in posts

Hi guys.

So I managed to sort of modify the quote to appear similar to vbulletin. Which is nice. I also used a plugin called vB Style Quotes

Causes quotes to use the simpler vB style syntax, eg, [quote=USERNAME;PID].

However what really helped me was this:

My code is:

blockquote {
	background: #FAFAE3 url(images/quote.png) top left no-repeat;
	color: #000000;
	border-color: #335C85;
	border: 1px solid #335C85;
	padding: 2px;
	padding-left: 30px;
	position: relative;
	word-wrap: break-word;
	-moz-border-radius: 5px;
	-webkit-border-radius: 5px;
	border-radius: 5px;
	margin-bottom: 2em;
	font-style: italic;
}
}

As such my quotes look like this now which is cool:

However I want to further change it what I'd actually like is to display it like this:
[Image: test2.png]

So that the original message is in the 'quote box' but that the who wrote it and when to be outside.

How would I go about achieving this? This is clearly not a CSS modification but I am guessing a template change SOMEWHERE and I can't figure it out...
You already have a thread open for this.
