Introduction:
This Mod adds a new quote attribute, useful when quoting sources from outside your forum.

Features:
When using the quote function you now have the option of the source= attribute similar to quote author= attribute. However this will add a clickable link to a URL of your choosing to the Quote From:Name.

For example previously you could type...
[quote author=Authors Name]Quoted text[/quote]
to get

Quote from: Authors NameQuoted text

or
[quote author=http://somesiteurl.com]Quoted text[/quote]
to get

Quote from: http://somesiteurl.comQuoted text

This mod now gives the option to use
[quote source=Authors Name link=Link to URL]Quoted text[/quote]
to get
Quote from: Authors Name
Quoted text

In a quote box, feature not available till mod is installed.
