Blockquote Cite

Overview

Blockquote Cite allows you to add easily cite references when using the blockquote tag. To add a reference, simply use the cite element and then enter the URL of site the content was quoted from. If a logo is available for that site, it will be displayed. Otherwise a text link will be used.

Compatibility

  • 2.1.*
  • 2.0.*
  • 1.5.*
  • In theory, it should work with 1.2.*, but it has not been tested.

Installation

Download the file and put it in your plugins directory. Activate it. If you want to use logos, download them from http://www.andrewferguson.net/wp-content/plugins/afdn_blockquote/ and put them into a folder called fergcorp_blockquote in your plugins directory.

Example
Here are two examples:

When an image is found:
<blockquote cite="http://www.cnn.com/TECH/space/">Some text from a science and space article on CNN.com</blockquote>
…goes to…
From www.cnn.com

Some text from a science and space article on CNN.com

When no image is found:
<blockquote cite="http://www.example.com/">Some text from the example.com page</blockquote>
…goes to..
From www.example.com:

Some text from the example.com page

    Hi, I was wondering if there was a demo available or a screenshot so one could see this plugin in-action please? :) Thanks!

    Here are two examples:

    http://www.andrewferguson.net/2007/02/26/beer-me/ has two blockquotes. The first blockquote uses the format:
    [html]
    From www.duke.edu:

    Have you ever gotten….the BEER came to ME???”

    [/html]
    As you can see, the blockquote is rewritten to include a link the format “From http://www.duke.edu:”

    The second blockquote uses the format:
    [html]

    Well, that was how I….beer launching mini-fridge.

    [/html]
    There was no “cite” element for the second blockquote, so it behaves normally.

    A second example would be http://www.andrewferguson.net/2007/02/08/cure-for-cancer/.
    The first blockquote is the same as the first blockquote for the previous example. However, the second blockquote as an image associated with it, so it displays that image with a link to the source.

    Hope that helps!

    Hey - this is pretty cool! I like it but would rather it be right justified and appear after the quote - is this possible to do?

    General Note:

    I just added a donation button on the side bar (to the right), so if you *really* like my plugins (and/or me) you might consider making a donation. I’ve been spending more and more time writing and supporting plugins. I’m a college student (3rd year Elect. Eng.) and really only do this programming thing on the side for the love of it.

    @Kjetil Kringlebotten:

    Unfortunately, no. You’ll have to contact WordPress to petition them to add it: http://faq.wordpress.com/2005/10/27/can-i-upload-my-own-plugins/
