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

</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif"><span class="small">quote:</span></font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif">Originally posted by Mike:
Testing Quote Editing</font><hr /></blockquote>
<font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial,Helvetica, sans-serif">Testing Quote Editing

The only change I made to the original was adding
after the </blockcode> to add alittle separation.

My line in ubb_lib.cgi looks like this
$match++ if $_[0] =~ s/()(s|n|r)*/ </font><blockquote><font size="1" face="$vars_style{FontFace}"><span class="small">$vars_wordlets{ubbcode_quote}:</span></font><hr /><font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">$2</font><hr /></blockquote>
<font size="$vars_style{TextSize}" face="$vars_style{FontFace}">/isg;

Any ideas?

Testing it here...

Nope did not do it here... hmmm

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

Adjusting the css will give you the space you are wanting

Painfool, you should also add <span class="small"> and </span> to ubb_lib_posting.cgi, sub reverse_ubb_code, the line with $vars_wordlets{ubbcode_quote}

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" Thanks!

thnx man!

you're welcome

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

Just disregard the request. Problem solved.

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!

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

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.


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


ubb_new_reply.cgi

Find:

Nice

Now try to make the name of the post originator a different color

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...

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!

Tim, it doesnt work. I only get this on the Quote post preview:
[QUOTE][COLOR=

Re-read the disclaimer that I added before the code attempt!

I have a question for those who like to play.

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:

spacing between the quote box & this?

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

Thanks.

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

I believe if you remove this section it fixes that

blockquote br {
font-size:1px
}

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Thanks, Allen.

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:




Is this making any sense?

Thank you for whatever you can give.
