Fancy Pull-quotes (v0.85)
Installation.
Simply download the plugin, unzip it and copy the php file in the plugin directory of your wordpress installation. Then activate it from the admin panel and you are ready to go. The plugin is fully customizable from a page in the admin control panel.Note: if you are upgrading the plugin from an older version I recommend to first click the “restore all options to default” link.
How to use.
Simply surround the text that you want to see as pull-quote by the following tags: <!--pull--> and <!--/pull-->. The plugin will automatically scan your post for the text included with these tags and treat it as pull-quotes. Getting those nice effects is as easy as that! If you don’t like the tags as they are or if you want to change the look of the pulled quote, you can do it from the control page in the admin panel of wordpress. The quote is formatted using a CSS definition: if you are an advanced user (i.e. if you know a bit of CSS) you can hack the CSS style in every part.
Detailed instruction.
Open and Close tags: you can define which tag to be used as markers for the pulled quote. Default are <!–pull–> and <!–/pull–>. These tags are transparent by default meaning that if you check the “Mirror quote” option you can activate or inactivate the plugin at any time without changing the layout of your posts.
Background Color: Choose background color. Use same color as your normal background to make it transparent.
Text Color: Choose text color. You can use hexadecimal values (for instance: #0AFF44)
Max Width: specifies the maximal width allowed
Pullquote position: pullquote position in the page (left or right)
Border color, size, style: define border properties
Mirror quote: leave unchecked if you want to use a quote that won’t show in the text of your post (for instance: if you want to have the pullquote to appear at the very top of your post you can uncheck the “mirror quote” checkbox and insert the pulled quoted as first thing in your wordpress post)
Version.
Current version of the plugin is 0.85, released on 4.19.2007. The plugin has been tested and working WP 2.0.x and 2.1.x. If you have other experience on other versions of WP please leave a comment here and I’ll udate this paragraph.
License.
The plug-in is released under GPL license, meaning it’s free. If you like it or if you need help feel free to leave a comment here. (did you note that I installed some ads on this page? maybe you can find a couple of minute to check if there is anything interesting to you…)
Take a look also to my other plugin, Alt-to-Legend.
Enjoy!

Pretty neat plugin that adds a nice effect. Anyway to have the pulled quote placed somewhere other than inline with the original paragraph? For example, in this post (http://isaiahsix.org/blog/2006/10/what-do-you-do-when/), the pulled quote is close to the bottom of the post, and the floating quote is inline. It would be nice if the added quote could float upward in the post. When magazines use this technique, the floating quote doesn’t necessarily appear inline with the originating paragraph.
Maybe I’m too picky; this really is a cool plugin.
Won’t the tags (pull) and (/pull) cause some problems if the plugin is deactivated ? They will appear on the post…
Hi —
There is a similar plugin here:
http://www.striderweb.com/nerdaphernalia/features/wp-javascript-pull-quotes/ It does not double-up text as this one does if turned off. Also there is an options panel with some user-changeable prefs (alternating sides, choose side, remove links within quotes, alternate text in a quote, more coming)
Competition is a good thing I think. 🙂 Different plugins can learn from each other.
(Disclaimer: Yes, this is my own plugin I’m… err… plugging.)
err… never mind about my “doubling up text” comment above. I misread a bit. Anyway, the other one simply disappears if turned off.
Nice plugin. It works easy and very well.
Thanks!

I’ve installed the plugin and works well. Just a question though, what would happen to my post or how would it look like if I deactivate the plugin from the plugins manager? will my posts still contain those “(pull)” and “(/pull)” tags. I’m just worried because it’s not like the “” or the “ tags. Thanks!
deuts and MisterB, new version of the plugin has transparent tagging, as well as many other features in fact. I will release it today or tomorrow.
There’s also a problem with the RSS feed generated when your plugin is activated. The expression between (pull) and (/pull) will appear twice… Transparent tagging is required !
Sounds terrific! I’ve got issues with Stephen’s Javascript Pull-Quotes, so this new update is interesting! I hope it involves alternating sides, choosing sides and also choosing which text gets to be bold when quoted. All in all, great work, I say! Kudos to you!

Hello,
I LOVE your plugin but I would require some mods to it. I use it on a wpmu site, not just plain wp so I would require that each user could setup his own colors and postition for the pullqoutes so that it integrates with any theme.
could you do that maybe? and maybe use transparent tagging?
thx anyway for the great plugin
hi there,
I am usijg your plugin, check it out here: http://sibiu.zice.ro/category/evenimente/ but I am really interested on how I could change the plugin so that all pullquotes are displayed in the top right corner of a post, not like you can see in the examples I linked above….
ovidiu and all who wrote about the plugin – I have started working on a new more powerful version weeks ago but then I got too busy to finish it up. I will surely come out with something new answering all your questions during Christmas holidays.
🙂 we will be waiting and merry christmas to you
There you go. New version is out. enjoy!
in downoad link there is the old version 🙂
ciao e augurio di buon anno nuovo.

hello giorgio,
I downloaded the plugi nfrom the link above: http://www.cafelamarck.it/fancy_pullquotes.zip but the version I download, still says 0.1
and after activating I see no options for the plugin anywhere…
can you confirm the link above is linking to the current version?
Sorry guys, I forgot to upload the new zip file (am I drunk or what!?)
Now it will go.
(buon anno anche a te Paolo)
really a very good job.
thanx a lot
ciao
paolo
thx,
one more question, I know some css but not enough to make this: I do not want the pullquote to appear “inside” the post, I want it to appear always on the right side, on top of the post, aka top-right. how could I modify it? it should look similar to this http://sibiu.zice.ro/2006/12/07/ready-play-vedete/ , maybe even a litle more on top of the post.
can you give me a little help please?
[…] También hace un par de días añadí el plugin “Fancy Pullquotes” para las citas al lateral derecho del post. […]
ovidiu, try downloading this newer version (0.8). Then leave the “mirror quote” box unchecked and use your pullquote as first thing in the post.
ok, thx, I got the latest version, but I think you understood me wrong.
I do need the mirror button checked, I want the text to be kept in place, and have a pullquote.
I just want the pullquote not display next to the part where the original text was, but always on the top right part of the post… so the reader sees the pullquote, some text of the post, then comes my read more link, where he can click to read the whole article….
I think this is just about positioning with css not specifically about your plugin….

Ciao, non so se ne sei a conoscenza ma il plugin ha un piccolo baco. Quando si modifica direttamente il css dalle opzioni una volta salvato, dopo l’aggiornamento delle opzioni, aggiunge ogni volta lo slash davnati ai quotemark quindi ogni volta bisogna andarsele a cancellare.
Hello,
could you please give me some help? Your plugin is almost perfect.
To explai nwhat I want, have a look at this post please: http://sibiu.zice.ro/2007/02/10/dumnezeu-chirie-atrium/
I want to display the pullquote on the same level / height as the post date, meaning top right corner of the post, always. How would I have to change the css?
Please help me this is pretty important.
Hi – there is a lot of back-and-forth on this page about this question but i’m still not clear on the answer: do the (pull)(/pull) tags show up in older-version browsers or if the plugin is ever disabled? thanks!
Donna,
it does show up. Use the < pull > instead.
And then it won’t? Great. Thanks for the quick reply
Sorry – one other question. How do I get it so the background is transparent? Right now it appears as a grey box on my black background:

attention, in the instructions above some code disappeared in the Detailed instruction section..
Hello,
I really love this plugin but so far it conflicts with the footnotes plugin I use. I’m probably going to change footnote plugins today but currently if I activate your plugin it wipes clean the footnotes plugin as if it’s not installed.
🙂 When’s the new version coming out.
hello Giorgio,
my question is still not solved, though I love the new features of your plugin. see this example: http://sibiu.zice.ro/2007/03/25/coyote-party-liquid/
what would I need to change in the css file to get the pullquote to display in the top right corner of the post, not below?

I added the pullquote to my quicktags list that appears under the “code” section of the write page. I don’t know if doing that was assumed or do people type in every time they use this? Or am I missing another way to make it simple?
Great plugin, thank you.
The quotes look nice, but a true “pull quote” would leave the text in its original location as well. With your plugin, if I pull a quote out of the middle of a paragraph, then the paragraph no longer makes sense because it is missing text. And if I put in the sentence twice, then it is messing it up for the feedreaders.
Until that’s fixed, this plugin is not useful for real pull quotes.
[Giorgio says:there is a checkbox in the option page called “Mirror quote”. If you check that true your pullquote will be then”copied” from the original paragraph.]

Is there an easy way to control where this plugin breaks text for lines? Right now it’s leaving most of the left edge of the box empty while spreading a seven-word speech over four lines.
[giorgio says:you can do it. You should edit the file and change the values in the var $space_count. Yet, a very regularly spaced pullquote would lose most of its beauty]

Hi Giorgio,
I really, really want this plugin to work for me! It’s fantastic, but there is only one thing that’s keeping me from using it right now – and hopefully you can explain if there is a fix.
I need to have my pullquote appear at the top left or right of the post, just like ovidiu was saying above, but I also need for it to work with the tag. There is no way to test to see if the pullquote will appear on the main page if the code is placed around text under the tag – know what I mean? Is this something that has been thought of?
[giorgio says: I am not sure I know what you mean. The pullquote will appear wherever your tag are. You could try to change that modifying the CSS or putting the pullquote as first thing in your post]

looks like a good plugin, however I couldn’t get it working with the Fjords01! theme that I’m currently using. Any ideas?
This may sound incredibly obvious to some readers but I copied the commands from above and could not get the plugin to work. The formatting above had eliminated one of the dashes, turning it into an em dash. This the correct command with two dashes is:
<!--pull-->
[giorgio says: thank you dr.vino for noticing that. I corrected it in the main text too]

What was most interesting about finding Yack Yack through Googling was that the site uses the same conditional plugin – Landing Sites – that displays additional posts related to the search terms a visitor used and so improve user interactivity. But, more than that as part of the conditional tag for the plugin, Yack Yack has added a subscription box for users to latch on to the site’s email newsfeed. […]
I’m wondering if there’s any way I can get the quotes to alternate? i.e. the first pullquote is on the left side, and then the next pullquote is on the right side? This seems to me like it would look the sleekest, and really get the true magazine look.

This plugin works in WordPress 2.7 Beta 2. Just make sure that you add the pull tags in the html editor and not the WYSIWYG editor. However, it appears that once you’ve put in the pull tags it doesn’t matter what editor you use if you go back to change anything.
This is just what I was looking for, thanx for an awesome plugin.
