   Hi All,
   I didnt get to use a left floating quote in footer text area.
   I'm using a wordpress version 3.2.1

   I used this :

   [quote style="boxed" float="left"]This is a test[/quote]

   Are there any way to do this ?

   You can try to wrap the code in a div/span - then apply a custom class or inline css to it. The code would look like:
   

   <div style="float:left !important;"> [quote style="boxed" float="left"]This is a test[/quote] </div>

   Ah - ok. Now I see the problem :) - the shortcode you posted above is correct, ignore my instructions above. The problem is that widget areas don't parse shortcodes by default. Open up functions.php and add following code at the very bottom:
   

   add_filter('widget_text', 'do_shortcode');

   I'm uncertain what you mean. When you put a text widget in the footer and do as Dude suggested there should be no other steps to take for your shortcodes to work in your footer widgets.

   Edit: I just visited your site and I noticed you're trying to add a shortcode in plain HTML/PHP, it doesn't seem to work like this (as Dude said, to ignore his previous instructions). You can however add another widget area on that spot using this tutorial. You can then put a text widget in place and add the shortcode.

   sorry maybe I didnt explain very well .. when you go in Brightbox Theme Option -> Footer -> Footer Textarea > there you can put some text to appears in your footer and I knew that was possible to put a html combination to show my logo image and a quote shortcode text
   and not inside widget !

   Is it necessary to some add_filter ?

   By the way, Is it possible change background color in quote shortcode ?

   note :Dude and Chris, sorry my question..ok I´m a software developer but I dont know anything about web programming...right

   Thanks again.

    Try following - open up footer.php and replace:
    

    $footer_text = avia_get_option('footer_text');

    with:
    

    $footer_text = avia_get_option('footer_text');
    $footer_text = do_shortcode( $footer_text );

    You can use folloeing code in css/custom.css:
    

    .pullquote_boxed {
    background: url("../images/icons/quotes.png") no-repeat scroll 10px 18px #F8F8F8;
    }

    to change the background color.

    You can center the quote but it looks strange imho because of the logo to the left. Use following code:

    .pullquote_boxed {
    margin: auto !important;
    float: none !important;
    }
