Quoting in forum

Recommended Posts

Would it be possible to chance appearence of quotes so they could be easily spotted between or in front of new text. Maybe quotes should be in italic by default or some kind of box around them. It's really frustrating to read the forum since there is no way to tell where quote ends and new text starts (only scrolling back and reading the original posts again).

This problem started in the last forum update. And sadly, we haven't as yet found a way to fix it. However, if you go to the lower left, select 'Change Theme', and select 'IP Board', it will make the quoting easier to read.

Thank you for this info! Much easier to see quotes as intended :)

I have a Greasemonkey script that fixes it if someone is interested:

// ==UserScript==
// @name        EL Forum Quote Section Fix
// @namespace   eternal-lands
// @description Custom style for Quote sections
// @include     http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/*
// @version     1
// @grant       none
// ==/UserScript==

function addGlobalStyle(css) {
    var head, style;
    head = document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0];
    if (!head) { return; }
    style = document.createElement('style');
    style.type = 'text/css';
    style.innerHTML = css;
    head.appendChild(style);
}

addGlobalStyle('.ipsBlockquote { border-left: 2px solid rgb(122, 101, 80); }');
addGlobalStyle('.ipsBlockquote { border-right: 2px solid rgb(122, 101, 80); }');
addGlobalStyle('.ipsBlockquote { border-bottom: 2px solid rgb(122, 101, 80); }');
addGlobalStyle('.ipsBlockquote { border-top: 1px solid rgb(122, 101, 80); }');
addGlobalStyle('.ipsBlockquote { background-color: rgb(217,198,150); }');
addGlobalStyle('.ipsBlockquote { padding: 5px; }');
addGlobalStyle('.topic_list    { background-color: rgb(217, 190, 123); }');
addGlobalStyle('.topic_list    { border-left: 1px solid rgb(87, 71, 56); }');
addGlobalStyle('.topic_list    { border-right: 1px solid rgb(87, 71, 56); }');

addGlobalStyle('#quickNavLaunch span { background: url("http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/public/style_images/master/icon_quicknav.png"); }');
addGlobalStyle('#quickNavLaunch:hover span { background: url("http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/public/style_images/master/icon_quicknav.png"); }');

addGlobalStyle('.post_id a img.small { max-height: 12px; margin-left: 3px; margin-top: -2px; opacity: 0.5; }');

addGlobalStyle('.ipsButton_extra {    line-height: 22px;    height: 22px;    font-size: 11px;    margin-left: 5px;    color: rgb(122, 101, 80); background-color: rgb(217, 190, 123); border: 1px solid rgb(122, 101, 80) ; border-radius: 4px 4px 4px 4px; padding-left: 1px;padding-right: 1px;}');

addGlobalStyle('.ipsBox { border-left: 1px solid rgb(87, 71, 56); }');
addGlobalStyle('.ipsBox { border-right: 1px solid rgb(87, 71, 56); }');

// Fix share links
var images = document.getElementsByTagName('img');
for ( var i = 0; i < images.length; i++ ) {
    if ( images[i].src == "http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/public/style_images/Eternal-Lands/icon_share.png" ) {
        images[i].src = "http://www.eternal-lands.com/forum/public/style_images/master/icon_share.png";
    }
}

Result

 

Before:

IP.Board Theme Bad 1

 

After:

IP.Board Theme Fixed 1

 

Note: In the Greasemonkey script I changes some other stuff that are not displaying correctly.

Nice bruno ramos, it works for me in Firefox. Now to see if I can hack it into Seamonkey (no greasemonkey for Seamonkey that I'm aware of).

Thank you!

Nobody has access to the style sheets or templates??

 

Just add:

 

.ipsBlockquote {

background-color: #D9C696;

border-bottom: 2px solid #7A6550;

border-left: 2px solid #7A6550;

border-right: 2px solid #7A6550;

border-radius: 0 0 5px 5px;

padding: 5px;

}

 

to [root]/forum/public/style_css/css_13/ipb_styles.css

 

and nobody has to 'monkey' it up. ;)

Shift refresh without using grease monkey and it should look better. Based on what I saw in the system default, the more proper place was actually ips_common.css

Yeah, I thought of ips_comman first, actually, but didn't spend a whole lot of time comparing the two to see where the natural fit was. Was kind of leaning more toward 'git-r-dun' mode. ;)

 

Anyway, thanks, Learner, looks great now. :)

No problem.

 

You gave information I could use and since I've been in the server recently to help with the Forums move was easy enough for me to look into more.
