RSS 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…
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

Would this plugin work on WP 2.1.x? Thanks in advance!
Would this plugin work on WP 2.1.x?
Yes, it will work with WP 2.1.*.
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:
[/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]
[/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?
Thank you
It does help!
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.
Citing a blockquote:
HTML
From www.example.com:
CSS
blockquote[cite] p:last-child:after {
content: “(Citation: ” WHAT GOES HERE?? “) “;
}
Is it possible to use this in a standard wordpress blog? (Ie. not a blog using wordpress tools, but a blog — like mine — which is located in the wordpress directory.)
@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/
