   This Pullquote plug-in is very neat and simple. Great job. I have recommended it to clients that are using WordPress for blogging. If you check out my URL you will see that I have obviously implemented the functionality on my own site.

   Thanks for some great work!

   I just discovered a bug, folks. The alternate text doesn’t work in Safari. Working on a fix.

   Also — a “choose default side” option is imminent done (working on that is what exposed the bug)

   Stay Tuned.

   Just the plugin I was looking for. I’ll be starting a new site in a few weeks with mostly text, and pullquotes will make it look much better.

   Isn’t there supposed to be a pullquote button in WYSIWYG? I didn’t get one. Other than that it works great.

   Thanks,

   Lowell

   No button in the WYSIWYG editor (yet). The button in the plaintext editor is actually part of the code that was done by others before I got to it (see the History section on this page).

   At some point I will probably take a crack at adding this. You’ll note it’s on my “in the works” list in the Features section.

   Doesn’t seem to work with FCKeditor.

6. Strider
   Posted October 31, 2006 at 9:55 pm | Permalink

   I’m not familiar with it, but FCKeditor appears to be a text/HTML editor. (The site is confusing. Are you meant to run it within your browser?)

   This is a WordPress plugin.

   If you mean you’re using that program to write your posts, and then drop them into Wordpress, you should be able to add a <span class=”pullquote”> to your text using any HTML editor. In this case, it looks as though you may have to use the “Source” button.

   I’m sure support on that site can help you more than I can.

   Hi! Thanks for this great plugin, but I’ve got a problem, which is seen in this screen-shot:

   As you can see, the markup produces a blank line under the quoted text, which isn’t the case in your example. I’ve troubleshot [is this really the proper past tense version of the verb?] the issue by checking the post using Firefox 1.5.2 and Flock 0.7.6 on two different computers (WinXP Pro and OSX 10.4.8) with the very same result, no matter if the quotes are included in a published post or a draft.

   Can you help me? This plugin seems to have the upper hand on this one, but please, let competition be your carrot (and blissful delight in helping a stupid user) Thanks!

   Somehow the screenshot disappeared from the post (despite being viewable from the preview box when commenting) so here’s a direct URL to it: http://niklasblog.com/wp-content/2006-11-02-pullquotese...

   Not sure why that would happen. I’m guessing you don’t have an extra break within the <span>?

   One other possibility is that there is something else in your site’s style sheets that is causing this.

   Can you point me to an actual page where this is happening? I can only guess looking at a screenshot. (Stick a pullquote in an old post and give me the link…)

    Got it — I’m using a too-common CSS selector “alt” for right-side pull-quotes. You also have an “alt” selector in your stylesheets, with a padding of 10px.

    I’ll change the code to account for this - probably should make it a user option since anything’s possible….

    Okay, a couple of rapid-fire updates:

    I’ve fixed Niklas’ padding problem, worked in a workaround for the Safari bug, eliminated empty (no content) pull-quotes, added a link to edit the CSS file, and cleaned up the interface a bit. Whew! Version 1.2.2 is up.

    Heres my K-I-S-S take on a purely (X)HTML, CSS, semantic, and XHTML 1.0 Strict Validating way to create pullquotes.

    http://www.askapache.com/2006/css/pullquotes-using-css-...

    Great article and I really like the look of your end result, and the change from the outdated innerHTML method. When you can eliminate js, doit. NOTE: Im not anti-js, just a minimalist.

16. Strider
    Posted November 9, 2006 at 10:34 pm | Permalink

    The issue with that is that it requires you to duplicate text in the markup. One of the core concepts of web standards — that is, proper use of (X)HTML, CSS, and JavaScript, is the idea of separating structure, visual design, and behavior.

    So in a sense, you’re right, as I’m using JavaScript to create a purely visual effect, whereas your method maintains the visuals purely within the CSS. I’m breaking down the separation of design and behavior.

    The problem with *your* method is that it improperly breaks down the barrier between structure and design by requiring the writer to duplicate the text for the pull-quote. With my method, the quoted text is — deliberately — only duplicated programmatically, and disappears entirely when it doesn’t work, such as in text browsers.

    In other words, it “degrades gracefully” in browsers in which the effect doesn’t work; whereas your way will, under all circumstances, duplicate the text.

    I get the following error when I try to access the plugin’s Option page :

18. Strider
    Posted November 11, 2006 at 9:00 pm | Permalink

    Sounds as though the jspullquotes_options.php file is missing. The first thought that jumps out at me is that you might have just installed the jspullquotes.php file alone. When you installed the plugin, did you put the entire jspullquotes folder in the plugins directory?

19. Matt
    Posted November 12, 2006 at 3:04 am | Permalink

    Yes, all the files were uploaded to /plugins/jspullquotes.
    v1.3b1 solved the issue though, thanks !

20. Matt
    Posted November 13, 2006 at 3:43 pm | Permalink

    Final question and I’ll leave you alone ( :p ) : is there a way to tell the script when to put the pullquote on the right or on the left ? Apparently it’s all automatic, taken from the options.

    It’d be nice to have a “pullquote-right” and “pullquote-left” class. Is there any way we can implement that Stephen ?

21. Strider
    Posted November 14, 2006 at 2:49 pm | Permalink

    That shouldn’t be too hard, except for figuring out how it should interact with the “alternate down the page” option. Should the alternation be “reset” by a specific-side pullquote or should specifying a side override the one quote only and not affect anything else?

    My first instinct is to say it should affect the one quote only, but then in alternating pages you could easily get a sudden run of three quotes down one side….

    Or maybe I’m waaay overthinking things, as this plugin is purely cosmetic anyway… hmmm.

    Posted November 14, 2006 at 2:58 pm | Permalink

    There is a new BETA version up, which adds a button in the WYSIWYG editor. Please give me feedback!!! Is it working properly for those who’ve tried it? Anyone having problems?

    Currently the only issues I know if is that there is currently no actual indication that a pullquote is there until you actually publish and look at the post itself. (And the only way to remove a pullquote is to edit the HTML directly and remove the <span>) I’m working on it!

23. Sam
    Posted November 17, 2006 at 9:02 am | Permalink

    I am already using some styles for my blockquote. Unfortunately this plugin conflicts with those.

    Is there a reason to convert <span class=”pullquote”> to an existing element name (<blockquote> in this case)??

24. Strider
    Posted November 17, 2006 at 12:49 pm | Permalink

    The script takes the text within the <span> and duplicates it within a new <blockquote>. As the pullquote is a quotation, it seemed appropriate to use <blockquote>.

    If your CSS is interfering with the script’s CSS, you should be able to explicitly reset the declarations that are being screwed up. In the Options panel there is a button to edit the CSS for the blockquotes. (If the other way around, you should be able to edit your own CSS in the same way.)

    I see your point though. While I believe the <blockquote> tag is syntactically correct, perhaps an “advanced” option to use <span> or <div> is needed. As I was already going to add options to specify the CSS declaration used, this should not be too difficult to add (I hope ).

    In the meantime, I think the next minor version of the plugin will have more specific “no assumptions” CSS that will cut down on problems such as this. Can you tell me what CSS you used that interferes? It might help me do this (you can email me privately for this).

    Posted December 4, 2006 at 2:31 am | Permalink

    This plugin looks great! I just need more control over manually setting my individual pullquotes alignment left or right. Matt mentioned this above. Anyone figure it out yet?

26. Strider
    Posted December 5, 2006 at 12:09 am | Permalink

    There are several things in the works. I worked out an infrastructure change that will allow for a number of changes I want to make, including options that manipulate the quote text (for capitalization and such….)

    I also expect to get the per-quote right/left option working as people have suggested. I’m very busy lately, and might not get to it for a few weeks. Holidays, possibly moving. Lots of things on my plate lately. Rest assured this plugin is not forgotten!

    hi there,

    very nice plugin you made, I jsut have one question:

    I also saw this plugin: http://www.cafelamarck.it/22/ and saw you posted there too, so you know it.

    I like your advanced settings for the plugin but I would like my pullquotes to look like those generated by the other plugin…

    could you give me a hand with that? It is not just about copying that other css style, because the other style somehow alternates, i.e. it makes certain words bolder, whatever…

28. Strider
    Posted December 12, 2006 at 8:59 pm | Permalink

    “the other [plugin] somehow alternates, i.e. it makes certain words bolder, whatever…”

    That’s interesting, I hadn’t noticed that before…. What that plugin does is take the quotes text and (semi-randomly?) add <b>bold</b> tags to some words. It is an interesting effect.

    Coincidentally, something I’ve already done to the (as yet unreleased) next version will make implementing things like this much easier. Some details here: JavaScript Function: dupeNode()

    In a nutshell, the groundwork has already been laid for new functionality that modifies the text within the pull-quote. So maybe this will happen down the road a spell.

    I’ll be damned if I can get the “altPq” command to work.

    Don’t know if it’s because I’ve set the display to “Right” (and thus, I’d hope that the “pullquote altPq” would display a quote on the left), but I can’t seem to figure it out.

    Is it me, or have I found a bug?

    Beyond that, of course, much appreciate the app!

    Brad –

    You do have to turn it on in the options panel (under the “Presentation” tab in the admin screen), but other than that it should work right out of the box.

    I guess there’s a bug in line 30 of the “*_option.php” file. It must said:

    Would you please validate this?

    Thanks and very good job! Your script is geat!

33. Strider
    Posted January 11, 2007 at 4:44 pm | Permalink

    Claudio –

    The double ‘>’ is correct. The first is the end of a bit of PHP, and the second is part of the HTML.

    PHP segments begin with ‘<?php ‘ and end with ‘ ?>’

34. Claudio
    Posted January 13, 2007 at 8:35 am | Permalink

    Thanks Stephen. I mean that the *_option.php file in line 30 says:

    checkcombo(’def_side’,’left’,’left’)

    but I believe that must say

    checkcombo(’def_side’,’left’,’right’)

    Regards.

35. Strider
    Posted January 13, 2007 at 3:07 pm | Permalink

    Claudio –

    The code is correct as written. The second defines the default, and as such should be the same for both options within a combo.

    That being said, my current (soon to be released) version uses an improved bit of code, wherein the default option has a “true” parameter set, and all others do not need the last parameter at all.

    I’ve been busy recently (buying and selling a home!), which is why it’s been so long without an update. I expect a new release very soon with one or two most-requested features rolled in.

    Stephen,

    I have a little problem here: the texts in pull-quotes are duplicating as you can see here. When I first installed the plugin, this didnt happen.

    Do you have any clue about this problem?

    Thanks.

37. Strider
    Posted January 24, 2007 at 11:03 am | Permalink

    Leonardo — I see the pull-quote but I’m not seeing the problem. What exactly is being duplicated? Also, what browser (and version), and OS are you using?

38. Leonardo
    Posted January 24, 2007 at 1:23 pm | Permalink

    Stephen, its ok now. For some reason, the javascripts of many plugins I use were duplicanting, this affected not just de pull-quotes. I changed the theme and the problem was solved. Anyway, thanks for you attention.

    Matt —

    Sorry I didn’t respond earlier. I somehow missed your question and just now noticed it!

    I would think that you can double-encode the character, though I haven’t tested it.

    Example: &amp;eacute;

    However, this is certainly inelegant, and I will look into a fix. Thanks for the catch!

    [edit: possibly use escape() and unescape() in the JavaScript...]

    Posted February 19, 2007 at 6:09 pm | Permalink

    Stephen -

    Only now getting back to the comment I left in December and which you replied to on Jan 1. (both are up above).

    You say I need to “turn on the option” to allow for use of the “pullquote altPQ” option, but I don’t know where one would turn that on. Any hints?

    I don’t want to use the option for “Successive quotes on one page alternate sides” because that means pullquotes, on my main page (where I may have many articles using pullquotes) won’t necessarily be on the predicted side of the in each given article.

    So I don’t want to randomly alternate sides, I want to be able to specifically specify when the pullquote should be on the left instead of on the default right. But I don’t see where to “turn that on” as you suggest.

    When I use the “pullquote altPQ” div, the pullquote just goes on the right as the noramal “pullquote” div does.

    ADDITIONAL QUESTION/BUG-REPORT: The use of double hyphens, as in “–” inside a pullquote will cause it to err. At least when using the commented version (the one that allows me to use the quote on a different graf). A work around would be great since often I use pull-quotes to actually quote someone as in “Some great thing someone said. — Great Person named here”

42. Strider
    Posted February 19, 2007 at 7:52 pm | Permalink

    BradBlog –

    Aha, I misunderstood then. Currently there is no option to arbitrarily specify a side for a particular quote, but as you may notice above it is an oft-requested feature, and I expect to have it implemented in the next release (hopefully very soon).

    Regarding the Bug Report: This is an obscure technicality of HTML rearing its head, and I’ve added a note regarding this to the instructions on the next version. Technically speaking, a double-dash ends an HTML comment, and that is what’s happening here. I might suggest using an encoded em-dash instead (e.g. &#151; ).

    Hmm… I’ll also add that info to the “Workarounds” section on this page. Thanks for the reminder!

43. BradBlog
    Posted February 19, 2007 at 9:18 pm | Permalink

    Thanks for the quick reply (and for the workaround on the other issue) Question then is what the heck is the “pullquote altPQ” for then???

44. Strider
    Posted February 20, 2007 at 8:26 am | Permalink

    “[W]hat the heck is the “pullquote altPQ” for then???”

    altPQ is used by the “alternate down the page” option. Basically, if that option is turned on, the script adds “altPQ” to the class of every second pull-quote div, which tells the CSS to put it on the other side.

45. BradBlog
    Posted February 20, 2007 at 1:58 pm | Permalink

    Ah, thank you! Had thought it was for manual specification of placement on the alternate (from the default) side of the page.

    Might request in your updated version (happy to test it, btw) that it do exactly that. Even if the “Alternate pullquotes on page” option is NOT selected.

    Should give users far more control over placement. As mentioned, I can’t use the selection to alternate them on the page, because it means on the main page, where there may be other articles that use the pull-quotes, the quote ends up on a different side of the page than planned/hoped for.

46. Strider
    Posted February 20, 2007 at 6:07 pm | Permalink

    Just do you spans thus:

    Is there a way to stylize the pull quote - like to italicize or bold certain words? i haven’t downloaded yet - I am trying to figure out the difference between this plugin and the cafelamarck one. this one seems to allow for invisiblity, which is key.

    thanks!

48. Strider
    Posted March 6, 2007 at 8:12 pm | Permalink

    You can stylize text using CSS (a.k.a. Style Sheets). Any tags within a “pullquote” span appear in the large pull-quote, so A) any styling within the source quote appears in the pull-quote, and B) you could play with the Style Sheet to create certain effects. For example, you could do this:

    <span class="pullquote">Why <span>hello</span> there!</span>

    and then style the “hello” by putting something like this in the style sheet:

    blockquote.pullquote span {font-weight: bold;}

    I do not (yet) have functionality that creates the semi-random formatting that the cafelamarck plugin does, but as you point out, mine do disappear cleanly if the plugin is disabled. As for other differences, I believe this one has more display options, and a full Options page in the Admin screen. Mine also allows for text that differs from the <span>ed text, and a few other tricks. Enjoy!

49. Donna
    Posted March 7, 2007 at 10:38 am | Permalink

    Thanks.. aside from semi-random formatting - if I wanted a word or two to be bold in the pull-quote but not in the text, I would have to use the alternate text option, is that right? I’m just learning css/html as I go.. it’s all kinda new to me.

50. Strider
    Posted March 7, 2007 at 4:25 pm | Permalink

    Actually I tried putting <em> tags and such in an “alternate text” comment, and got outwitted by WordPress’s encoding functions in the editor. I have that listed as a bug to be fixed — and since this plugin doesn’t have many known bugs, it’s pretty high on the list.

    Until then you can format the pull-quote using spans as I did in my comment just above. That is, put a span (for example) within the text to be quoted, and then apply CSS to that tag within div.blockquote. See my comment just above.

    New update, version 1.5

    This is a big’un, folks. I’ve implemented Styles, similar to WordPress themes. Just go into the options screen and pick a style.

    Also like WordPress themes, this is wide open to custom styles, so submit a Style today and I’ll put them up for everyone to see!

    IMPORTANT UPGRADE NOTE: If you are upgrading from a previous version of the plugin, go into your Options panel and change the setting called “CSS class selector for alt-side pull-quote”. The previous default read:

    pullquote pqAlt

    Change it to:

    pullquote pqRight

    Hey Stephen, a great plugin for Wordpress, and after three months, I need a little help. Running 1.3, the plugin worked perfectly. Today I upgraded to 1.5 and now, not so good. When I insert a pullquote, The pullquote shows up at the top of the page and is as wide at the container. I made the change to the CSS class selector as indicated above, but that didn’t change anything.

    First, do you have any idea what might cause this, and second, if not, can you email me version 1.3 so I can delete and go back. Foolishly, I didn’t make a backup of the original file before the upgrade. Oh, in case. WP 2.1.2, Firefox 2.0.0.3, Windows XP Service Pack 2. Thanks again for a great plugin and for any help you might give.

54. Strider
    Posted March 24, 2007 at 10:51 pm | Permalink

    Larry –

    I think I have v1.3 on my other computer… I’ll upload it for you later.

    In the meantime, can you give me a link? I’d like to try and figure out what’s going wrong. You might put a pull-quote in to an old post somewhere and give me a link to that (so few to no people will see the odd pull-quote in the old post….)

    Off the cuff the width problem sounds as though the plugin is not finding the CSS file correctly, which would suggest a bug in the new “pick a style” code. I’m not sure what would cause it to show up in a different location, though.

    Also… odd as it sounds, you might simply try hitting “reload” a few times on your browser, or better yet clearing your cache.

55. Larry Hendrick
    Posted March 25, 2007 at 2:42 pm | Permalink

    Stephen,

    I added pullquotes to several old posts and it worked perfectly, just as always. I thought maybe the issue only showed up on non-published articles, so I tried that, and they showed up perfectly. I don’t have any idea why it didn’t work Friday right after the upgrade, but it seems to work properly now. Thanks for the magic fix. I appreciate it.

    I have discovered another problem though. I installed it on another site I have that is also running AdSense. I am running the Adsense-Deluxe plugin and with it activated, the pullquote button does not show up in the write area. I am not using the visual editor. I deactivate Adsense-Deluxe and it shows up, re-activate, and it disappears. This may be a flaw in the other plugin, but I wanted you to know about a possible issue.

    Thanks again for your response and help.

    “I don’t have any idea why it didn’t work Friday right after the upgrade, but it seems to work properly now.”

    As suggested at the end of my previous comment, your browser was probably caching a CSS file or something. Viewing it again later reloaded the file and you got the newer one.

    Regarding the Adsense plugin:

    It appears that this is a known problem with that plugin. I use a very popular bit of JavaScript called “Buttonsnap” to add the button to the editor, and Adsense conflicts with Buttonsnap. Thus that plugin apparently causes the same problem with a good number of other plugins that add buttons to the editor.

    Reportedly the WordPress folks are adding native button hooks into WordPress in version 2.2, so I expect to do some work on the buttons when that is released.

    Until then here are a couple potential fixes:

    I really love this but I wonder how to include formatting like a break “ or html or anything like that.

    Jane –

    I haven’t worked that one out yet. I thought you might be able to do an “alternate text” quote with tags and such, but it seems the WordPress post editor “helpfully” mucks around with it. I’ll have to experiment with HTML encoding and try to find a combination that doesn’t break.

    This is on my “bug” list. It goes hand-in-hand with fixing extended characters such as “é” in alt-text quotes. Now that

    The short version is I need to figure out how to tell the post editor to leave comment contents alone.

    Version 1.5.4 is out. The biggest change here is that it’s all ready for translation. If you’re bilingual and would like to help with translations, please fill out the .pot file that is included with the download, and send it back to me.

    Get my email address here.

    There was also a bit of reorganization and some minor code cleanup, but no major functional differences.

    Enjoy!

    Yo Stephen, an excellent bit of work, great Plugin… just installed yesterday, had it up and running in a matter of minutes…
    A great addition to standard block quotes in WP and your “admin” page makes things so much easier for novices like me whjo know nothing of “coding”. Thx…
    PS: Working well on Wp 2.2, thus far…

    So it is, Zachary. It’s fixed now.

    This site is undergoing significant behind-the-scens changes, and there have been a hiccough or two — including broken links. Sorry about that!

    First of all, great plugin. A try a couple before, but I found this is the best
    Now, can I make a suggestion? It will be nice to be able to choose not to use any css. I think some people (like me) will prefer to use just one css in their site, so they will copy and paste de css code of the pullquote in their main css file, to not have to use another css file.
    That’s what I will do, but I will have to hack to plugin to do it. Let me know what you think…
    Thanks!

    Tanguillo –

    That’s a good idea. Shouldn’t be too hard to to add as an advanced option. It had occurred to me in the past, but I just never got around to it.

    I’ll see about adding it in the next version!

    Thanks! Just make sure to let know users that have to copy the code of two css files. It take me a while discover it
    See you in next version!

    1.6.6 is up. Primary difference is that, by user request, you can now turn off the CSS in options. This is useful if you want to reduce HTTP requests by putting the CSS directly into your theme’s stylesheet.

    I really do like having this plugin available, and what it does is a "handy" addition to my editing/presentation tools on my website/blog. I was wanting to know if you will be continuing to support/maintain it? and whether it is still compatible with Wp v2.3 –>> ongoing?
    It seems to me that it is one of the very few of its kind, that does what it is designed to do, and does it well.
    Thx for the plugin.

    Considering I just updated it yesterday, I would have to say yes, it’s still supported.

    Great plugin!

    Wondering if you know of the best way to assign a header class to the pullquote text itself. I’m trying to add sifr to the pullquote… any ideas?

    Many thanks!!!

    Go to the Pull-Quotes options page — it’s in the admin section under the Presentation tab. At the bottom there are settings for “CSS class selector”. You can give the pull quotes any class you wish.

    Note that if you change the defaults, you will have to change the CSS files as well — both the once you select, and the “core” CSS file.

    Been a while since that last comment, but thanks very much, Strider. It gets a little more complicated than that, but I finally figured it out. For anyone interested in using sIFR, you basically need to call the sIFR function at the end of the jspullquotes.js load function. So, that bit of code would end up looking something like this (relative to your own sIFR):

    
function pullQuoteOpts(arrOptions) {
pullquote.addEvent(window, 'load', function(){
pullquote.init(arrOptions);
sIFR.replace(century_gothic, {
selector: 'div.pullquote p'
,css: { ** YOUR sIFR CSS HERE ** },
}
});
});
}


    Again, many thanks Strider. Great plugin. If interested, I’ll be happy to supply a live url when the site launches. Cheers –

    Long story short — The “donate” links on this page were messed up, and short of a couple donations on Feb 27, 2008, I have never received, nor even known about, any of the money people may have donated to this site previous to that date.

    (PayPal says all donations were returned to the payors.)

    Long story long — You can read the details here.

    Argh! Due dilligence: there’s a comma at the end of that code I just posted that will break this in IE. The correct code:
    
function pullQuoteOpts(arrOptions) {
pullquote.addEvent(window, 'load', function(){pullquote.init(arrOptions);
sIFR.replace( ** your sIFR style here ** }
}
});
});
}

    Ah, 4am javascripting! Anyway, again, cheers –

    yes, this plugin i was also looking for. I installed and find it works. But, all users can’t login after installation. When disabled, all go fine. Any comments?

81. Strider
    Posted March 11, 2008 at 8:20 am | Permalink

    Zahidayat — This plugin doesn’t do anything that I can imagine would block users from logging in. What other plugins are you running? What version of WordPress?

    Disable all plugins and see if you still have the problem. Then re-enable just JS Pull-Quotes and see if the problem comes back.

    Hi.

    I have upgraded from 1.5.2 to the actual one, and I get this error message :

    “Warning: session_start() [function.session-start]: Cannot send session cache limiter - headers already sent (output started at /home/autonoma/koztoujours/wp-content/plugins/jspullquotes/jspullquotes.php:1) in /home/autonoma/koztoujours/wp-content/themes/serene-10/index.php on line 1″

    Moreover it made strange things (addind bullet points) in comment.

    I deactivated the plugin and it came back to the normal situation… but without pullquotes. Do you have any idea ?

    Koz –

    The first thing I would check is that it’s not some conflict with another plugin you’re using. What plugins are you using? try turning them off and see if the problem is tstill there with this plugin.

    The second thing to check is that there’s no problem with your theme. Activate the plugin, and change to the default theme, and see if the problem is there with the default theme.

    If you need to downgrade, you can still download version 1.5.2. (But let’s get you running on the new version — esp. with the French translation! )

    Actually, before you try any of that, delete the pull-quotes plugin, re-download it from this page, and try it again. The files may have gotten corrupted.

    Argh, you’re right : it seems that there is a conflict with my theme. Thank you for the 1.5.2 version. I think I will use this one, except if I find a workaround. And, maybe, with 2.5 coming up, change my theme.
