Simple Spoiler Tag

[Gary]

Link to Mod

This mod will add a simpler version of a spoiler tag, it'd simply create a box where the text is the same colour as the background.

VERSION 1.5 RELEASED!

With version 1.5 a button to Post.template.php has been added so be sure to upload spoiler.gif into your BBC images folder for your theme (a classic variation is provided)

There are two different methods of displaying this.

1.5a is a block level box just like the quote and code tags.
1.5b is an inline black box with the rest of your text.

Languages Supported:
English American
English British
Swedish (Thanks to Veidit for the translation)

Attached to this post is the Classic Theme's BBC button.

I've tested it out and it applies correctly, however it doesn't create the box to match with the text.

Basically it all looks like pretty normal text to me, example:

Spoiler (Highlight to read)
wow this is awesome

That's pretty much what happens, the [spoiler] tags made that nice heads up about spoiler, but the spoiler within is as if it were typed normally. No matching colour box at all. I am not using the default theme. Also is there a way to add a BBC button for this [spoiler][/spoiler] tag?

[Gary]

You'll need to edit style.css by adding:

Code Select Expand


/* Simpson I order you to buy those shoes*/
.spoiler
{
color: #CCCCFF;
background-color: #CCCCFF;
border: 1px solid #000000;
margin: 1px;
padding: 1px;
font-size: x-small;
line-height: 1.4em;
}


to the end.

To add a button create an image for it in a graphics program, then add it to the other buttons in Post.template.php

I added it to the end of style.css nothing happened.

There are a bunch of different colour options for my theme, so I've been adding the code to the end of the style_thecolour.css that I'm using, still no good though.

[karlbenson]

try ctrl f5 (make sure the css file is being updated and not stuck in the cache)

[Emperium]

I think that did the trick, thank you!

I installed teh mod but all I get is

Code Select Expand

//Spoiler Tag $txt['spoiler'] = 'Spoiler (Highlight to read)'; along the top of my forum.

[Gary]

It's probably after the closing ?> in Modifications.english.php, open that file up and move it to before the closing ?>

Thank you for that simple but great mod 

[Veidit]

Hmm
I only get:
Spoiler (Highlight to read)
test

but would it be possible for an option of the mod to only black out the text and not add Spoiler (Hilight to read) and not add any form of linebreaks?

[Gary]

You could code it that way yes. The style is set in style.css and the actual layout is in Subs.php on how its displayed.

Version 1.5 released. This includes English British and Swedish translations (thanks to Veidit for the Swedish) it also includes a button for your users to click on.

If you want a block level box for spoilers use 1.5a, if you want it inline, use 1.5b

same here...it doesn't actually create the spoiler...

[Gary]

You have to add the CSS to your style.css file. Depending on which one you installed 1.5a or 1.5b. But either way, it'll go on the end. A button has also been added in 1.5.

I'd been using this mod with no problems until today when I upgraded it. Now it just displays [spoiler] text [/spoiler] around all the posts where it previously worked.

Help?  I'm on SMF 1.1.2 and don't have any other packages installed other than Rename Topic.

[Gary]

Which version did you upgrade to 1.5a or 1.5b? You should've uninstalled the old one first.

For 1.5a make sure that something like

Code Select Expand


array(
'tag' => 'spoiler',
'before' => '<div class="spoilerheader">' . $txt['spoiler'] . '</div><div class="spoiler">',
'after' => '</div>',
'block_level' => true,
),


is included in there somewhere.

same here..

[martina]

This is great and admin can post them but regular members get this message

Sorry - you don't have the proper permissions to post spoilers.

Is there a fix for this as I can't see anything in permissions to change?

[Gary]

martina: That doesn't have anything to do with this mod. You must've installed one of the other Spoilers.

fangweile, janitro: There must be a conflicting mod somewhere. Take a look at the modification.xml file to see what to do and install manually.
