By far the easiest hack I have done and very nice and useful.

Now being that CSS can be used in this way, are the other possibilities for quote blocks in this way?

very cool, much better looking!

Did you use wordlets to change the background color of the small 'quote:'?

Thanks,

I guess I am just an idiot -

The line that is quoteblock .small which I assume sets up the parameters for the section that says quote:

does not work for me

Code
<style type="text/css">
blockquote {
font-size: 9pt;
border: 3px solid #34669a;
background: #FDF5E6;
color: black;
margin: 12px 20px;
padding: 0px 10px
}
blockquote .small {
background: #34669A;
color: white;
margin-left:-10px;
padding: 1px 2px
}
blockquote hr {
visibility: hidden;
height: 1px
}
blockquote br {
font-size: 1px
}
</style>
what am I doing wrong?

In ubb_lib_posting.cgi and ubb_lib.cgi, before the part of "quote:" and "code:", add '
', and afterwards, add '
'.

I can only guess you are referring to sections that look like this:

*** deleted cause it was obviously not the right area ***

there are no areas that match what you refer to since wordlets are used

then there are something like 3 or 4 areas in each file that might match taking wordlets into consideration

oh well.... as I said....

I guess nothing is ever as simple as it appears.

This "mod" appeared to be simple, yet as published it does not do what is displayed here.

It takes further modifications and unfortunately what you have said LK does not affect anything - assuming (big word) I have place the div tags in the right place which considering wordlets I have.

I did not put it the sections that undoes the code for editing - only in the section where it converts the ubb code to what is displayed.

Suggestions???

i tried this:

Code
<style type="text/css">
blockquote {
font-size: 9pt;
border: 1px solid #c3c3c3;
background: #f6f6f6;
color: black;
margin: 0px 20px;
padding: 0px 10px
}
div.small {
background:#e5e5e5;
color: black;
margin-left:-10px;
padding:1px 2px
}
blockquote hr {
visibility:hidden;
height:1px
}
blockquote br {
font-size:1px
}
</style>
and it was the closest I could get to this actually working as shown on this board

(changed the second blockquote to div)

but it would then do the whole line in the different color

but adding anything to only the two lines that create the code causes for all the created code to appear if the post is edited

so obviously there must be much more to make that dang little box a different color

perhaps too much to even freaking bother with

i have lost two hours of sleep messing with this eek

i'm such an idiot

before I edit your post wink , that's the designed behaviour of the code tags, not this modification. It is set to keep your line breaks the same, because if you are posting actual code, that's a very important feature. use the quote tag if you need line breaks, that's what it is for smile

CaCoffin, if you haven't edited the quote tags in ubb_lib_posting.cgi, then yours should work the same as those here. Please give me a link to a post at your site that isn't looking right using the code as specified here smile

I have absolutely ZERO mods to the board -
I have erased my previous attempt to enter this mod -
I have rentered the MOD EXACTLY has shown - (copy / paste to be exact)

It does not left align the word "code" or "quote" and it does not have the extra coloring around the word.

Here is what code I do have in that same section:

#1 I am truly a doofus!
#2 I failed to read Header INSERT
#3 I had other code in there too that was not working well with the rest
#4 I erased that other coding
#5 Put just the style coding for the quote in there
#6 Still does not work
#7 I know why but I don't know why

blockquote .small

on your pages you have this code:

Quote
code:
Code
<blockquote><font class="small">code:</font>

but on mine (again no mods) it is:

code:
[qb]
Code
<blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Helvetica, sans-serif">code:</font>
[/qb]
I have no font class small!

So where is this being used instead of what I have???? (That is where in the control panel do I have something that can be changed to "small"?)

ubb_lib.cgi and ubb_lib_posting.cgi, where you see the code/quote things, you can just put class="small" after .

smile We have completely different templates based on our css work we did a few months back, so yeah, they're different. wink

Do as LK said and it should work for you. You'll most likely need to experiment to make sure editing/quoting those posts with quotes/codes work out right - you'll probably need to put it in where it changes ubb code to html, and also where it changes html back to ubbcode.

Thank you

It now works for the average schmendrick (me) that has no MODS installed (other than this one now).

I have been trying to make zero MODS to the coding. I can get them installed just fine but then when a new version of the UBB comes out I managed to mess everything up and have lost everything several times over the last two years.

Which of course has caused us to lose many members.

So I don't do any hacking of the actual files anymore.

If a "mod" is going to be done by me it has to be something that can be done in such a way that it does not alter the member files (main cause of problems for me) and can easily be redone with an upgrade (thus does not mess with the posts either).

One of these days I'll get into the templates thing and figure some stuff out but for now, so as not to chase members away I have to leave things alone.

Thanks for the help on this one!

Hey CaCoffin, set up a test forum to practice on... until you get the hang of it you really don't wanna modify your live site without making sure it works ahead of time. What works for me may not work for you based on what other things we both have installed.

Easiest mod I've ever installed. laugh

Would there be a way to put more spacing around the quote and the reply area? When multple quotes are used the text gets so cramped it's kinda hard to read.... maybe a way to add tranparent gifs before and after the quoted field?

[edit] - figured this would be easier to understand with an example:

Too cramped:

Would help a lot:

Sorry for the bad information it has just been awhile since I added the MOD.

Within the code for the header insert:

Code
<style type="text/css"> 
blockquote {
font-size: 9pt;
border: 1px solid #4577AB;
background: #FDF5E6;
color: black;
margin: 8px 20px;
padding: 0px 10px
}
blockquote .small {
background:#34669A;
color: white;
margin-left:-10px;
padding:1px 2px
}
blockquote hr {
visibility:hidden;
height:1px
}
blockquote br {
font-size:8px
}
a:visited {
text-decoration: none
}
a:link {
text-decoration: none
}
a:hover {
color: #008000;
font: italic;
text-decoration: none
}
a:active {
text-decoration: none
}
</style>
It is the padding that adds the spacing around the outside of the quote block.

The MOD as written has a padding of ZERO.

As you look over the code above you will see I increased it to 10px.

This is the code that gets inserted into the header insert section.

Which is located in the Style Template you are using for your board.

Oh and that is the first padding which sets up the padding around the outside of the entire quote block.

The next padding sets up the padding around the small quote: or code: set.

For those of you who would like different options for quotes and codes (such as a Christian board quoting the Bible) it is easy, using this MOD, to set up another code such as for my example I added a special tag for our users when quoting the Bible.

Code
[bible]add bible quote[/bible]
Which simply puts the words "Bible Quote" in the small block. As seen here: http://iambornagainru.org/cgi-bin/bab/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=get_topic&f=3&t=000561#000002

It is nothing really, but offering your users a specialized quote or whatever can be very useful.

Or maybe you can use
Code
[bible=Ephesians 1:16]do not cease ...[/bible]
To make the ephesians 1:16 wording look more special?

Or of course, in the future (if someone can give me a vars file with the whole bible) we could make it [bible=Ephesians]1:16[/bible] and it will post the quote for you wink

LK this site ( http://www.bf.org/bfetexts.htm ) has several text files of various versions.

Can you take a look and see if they are useable? If not then let me know what needs to be changed and I'll do the work.

I made a version that works with "darbybib.zip" in that URL. It works with bbe.zip and av.zip as well, as long as you rename the extension to ".DBY".

Instructions: download the darbybib.zip file, and upload all its files to cgi-bin/bible dir.
open ubb_lib.cgi.
Find:
Quote
code:
Code
		$match++ if $_[0] =~ s/(
Quote
)(.+?)(
)(s|n|r)*/ </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">$vars_wordlets{ubbcode_quote}:</font><hr /><font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">$2</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">/isg;

Add below:
code:
[qb]
Code
		$match++ if $_[0] =~ s/[BIBLE=([A-Za-z0-9s]+)](d+):(d+)[/BIBLE]/&bible($1,$2,$3)/eisg;
[/qb]
Find:
Quote
code:
Code
} # end listize

Add below:
code:
[qb]
Code
sub bible {
my ($a, $b, $c) = @_;
$a =~ s/^(.*?)$/U$1E/;
if (&FileExists("$vars_config{CGIPath}/bible/$a.DBY")) {
my $file = &OpenFileAsString("$vars_config{CGIPath}/bible/$a.DBY");
if ($file =~ m/$b:$c /) {
$file =~ s/(.*?)$b:$c//isg;
$d = $b+1; $e = $c+1;
$file =~ s/$d:1(.*?)$//isg; $file =~ s/$b:$e(.*?)$//isg;
return &ConvertReturns($file);
}
}
return "[BIBLE=$a] $b:$c [/BIBLE]";
}
[/qb]
Then use
Quote
code:
Code
Quote
[bible=EPH]1:16[/bible]

Result:
code:
[qb]
Code
do not cease giving thanks for you, making mention [of you]
at my prayers,
[/qb]
Note: if you give me a list of all long names (like John) with their short form (like JOH) I can make it so you can type [bible=John] instead of [bible=joh]...

After we get it to work like that, I'll make it like you want it to be if you wish - like [quote] but with "Bible Quote" and make the name more emphasized

Edit: now it works with darbybib.zip instead of bbe.zip cause I think it's better.. Note: I haven't tested it since I modified it to read .dby, so lemme know if it doesn't work

Wow...a newbie coding guide no, huh? laugh

I didn't understand a thing, could someone explain me, clearly, slowly and with a lot of patience? I want these quote and code boxes, with the "quote" word surrounded by another color (like this one in ubbdev wink ).

I installed a lot of hacks on my ubb, but I didn't understand a thing with this code! eek

What files have I to modify? Where and WHAT codes have I to insert? I have UBB.classic 6.2.1.

Thanks a lot smile

Go to your Control Panel, choose "Style Settings", choose your style template and in "Header Insert" portion, paste the code in this thread's first post smile

ubb_lib.cgi, where you see "$vars_wordlets{ubbcode_quote}:", replace it with "$vars_wordlets{ubbcode_quote}:"

I tried your code, but there is a bug: , not wink

With "/ only" I obtained an error...ubb was unable to load. I added that inv.slash and it worked.

Here's my headerinsert code:

code:
[qb]
Code
<style type="text/css"> blockquote {  font-size: 9pt;  border: 1px solid #c3c3c3;  background: #f6f6f6;  color: black;  margin: 8px 20px;  padding: 0px 10px}blockquote .small {  background:#c3c3c3;  color: black;  margin-left:-10px;  padding:1px 2px}blockquote hr {  visibility:hidden;  height:1px}blockquote br {  font-size:10px}</style>
[/qb]
Tnx a lot LK!

All done, the mod works perfectly thanks to LK.
He went the extra mile going into my bins and fixing the bugs right down to the root.

This community should be happy having such a man around.

Thank you very much.

I have a wierd problem after adding this hack.

If you try to edit a post that has a quote in it you end up with this in the edit window

The only change I made to the original was adding
after the to add alittle separation.

My line in ubb_lib.cgi looks like this
$match++ if $_[0] =~ s/(
Quote
)(.+?)(
)(s|n|r)*/
$vars_wordlets{ubbcode_quote}:
$2

/isg;

Any ideas?

yes, you need to take that
out, the code that converts ubbcode to html has to match the code that converts the html back to ubb code smile

Adjusting the css will give you the space you are wanting smile

Thanks that fixed it right up! I had originally removed the
to see if that was the problem... and although it was, removing it does not fix the posts that were made while it was "broken" smile Thanks!

I am not sure would I post this question, please move if this is not the right location.

A weird thing happened.
After installing Advanced UBB I lost the small blue background of "quote" box.

Can see the example HERE , a comparison between Quote and Code.

Any idea what should I do?
Thank you

Okay, now for an entirely NEW question... How in the heck can I partially disable the [QB], so that it is inserted into to top of each quote, where it says, "Originally posted by ???:"..?

It's really annoying to have the complete quote in bold print! wink

After a bit of beating my head against a wall, I finally figured it out! smash

My quotes now look like this, except I have the bold text underlined as well... Just add and inside the and references. The additional "n" adds the line spacing between the header and the text body.

Quote
quote:
Orginally posted by ????:

This is the body of the text blah, blah, blah.
Note the blank line between the header and the text body!

If anyone (for any reason) is interested, the following is what I did.


ubb_new_reply.cgi

Find:
Code
[/code] 
Replace with:
[code]

Oh, I see how you're gonna be now...

My board is currently DOA, as it is undergoing a server upgrade, so I can't actually test anything for you.

This will probably be wrong (but headed in one of the right directions[/i]), but since I'm claiming idiot status beforehand, I should get an exemption from public ridicule and floggings... wink

If it actually worked, this would require you to preset a specific hex code for your color tag.
[code][/code]I told you earlier, that I'm just an idiot that gets lucky every now and again, so before you start laughing and pointing fingers at me, I'm gonna run away and hide under my favorite rock!

I have a question for those who like to play. laugh

I'm thinking of installing this into my board, but I notice that the quote box is right up against the next piece of text.

Example:

Quote
quote:
How can I get
spacing between the quote box & this?

I'd love to see at least one, if not two, line breaks.

Thanks. help

[edit to ask: how on earth did that little quote skew this page so badly?! eek ]

Okay, Allen, I think what you suggested worked w/in the box, but now I'm trying to address the spacing outside of the box.

Here's a snapshot:

Could someone show me how to remove the tags around the quoted portions in this mod?

Did I say PLEASE? I sure did. smile

Thanks to all the caring people at UBBDEV. I should have come around sooner and gotten professional help rather than wasting precious time and energy. Thanks again.

well you can do it 2 ways, first, you can use CSS

blockquote strong { font-weight: normal; }

which would not require modifications.

The other would be to look for [ qb] in ubb_new_reply.cgi and remove both the [ qb] and the [ /qb]

You need to add some width to the margin. The current setting of 0px for the vertical will cause it to pull tight. So either adjust it to 0px 20px 20px 20px or just change it to 20px to have a 20 pixel margin all the way around.
