Spoiler-Modification v. 1.0.0

[Bernd Glasstett]

Spoiler-Modification v 1.0.0
This hack was developed by one of our users, TheSmallOne for use on www.comicforum.de The hack adds a spoiler-tag to the vbCode and displays the entered text between the tags as a button, displaying only "Show Spoiler". Once clicked, the spoiler is displayed. Very useful to hide postings on movie- or comicbook-forums, in which secrets about a story are revealed - in order to keep it up to every user, whether he would like to read it or not.

Features:


own image on editor
button with javascript
Templates to be changed: 1 (headinclude)
New phrases to be added: 2 (showspoiler, showspoilerwithtitle)
New custom BB Codes to be added: 2

PS: This hack was deleted on vbulletin.org. I am eager to see, if it is allowed here. If not, please tell me, where to post it - and don't just delete it.

Why was it deleted?

This is a great edit by the way. I added it to my forum. http://www.thekryptonian.com/showthread.php?t=3033

Thanks!

[Bernd Glasstett]

I don't know, but discussion was going on, if this was a template-mod or a hack. Seems as if the moderators saw it as a template-mod :)

[Blue Moose Aaron]

It is more of a template mod, but that's no reason to up and delete it. Whatever though... again, great hack.

[imported_Prank]

What could i have missed??

Thanks!

[imported_Synicide]

[Viol8or]

[marcel-ea]

A small question.

He write 2 Pharses must be added.
Where are this Pharses`? I don´t see in the install.

thx

[Cover Zero]

I've been using this hack for a while also. Great stuff.

[marcel-ea]

[marcel-ea]

New phrases to be added: 2 (showspoiler, showspoilerwithtitle)

oki but what for content?

[Hoffi]

It works great, but in the JS Code is a little Error. It is not really an Error, but you did not make the Closing JS-Tag correctly.

The Code must see like this:


var IMGDIR_MISC = "$stylevar[imgdir_misc]";
function showSpoiler(block) {
// by The Small One
block.nextSibling.nextSibling.style.display ="block";
block.parentNode.removeChild(block);
}
// -->
</script>


The JavaScript Comment to Hide the Ending HTML-Comment must be placed just before the Ending HTML-Script Tag.

If a Browser without JavaScript visits your Site he displays the Code of the Function inside the Forum.

Um...Very nice work..
Although...I can't quite find a use for it though....

[Quelyn]

awesome, very very neat. The only thing I don't like is that it drops the spoiler onto it's own line and doesn't keep the button with the rest of the paragraph. Other than that it's awesome.

[Erwin]

Warning people that using an input tag in a bbcode an enabling options is a BAD idea, as this allows javascript insertion and the copying of cookies. As someone who has been hacked with a similar spoiler mod, I'm just letting others know that such bbcode mods are not safe, especially if they allow variables in an input tag to be inserted by users.

[gwhooooey]

When posting a spoiler in the first post, the text in the spoiler shows up on the thread preview from forum display. Anyway to make it so it doesn't do this?

[Michael2]

That's really cool. I'd add it but I think my members would abuse it. Thanks for sharing though!

[TwinsForMe]

/me clicks install

ETA: How do I get the button to appear on the quick reply box?

[weaver]

...

[zetetic]

This is a good hack and I've been using it for the last year, but unfortunately the spoiler content still appears in thread preview. Does anyone know how I can prevent this?

[Morpherex]

I wouldn't mind having this updated a little bit, to do some fixes :(.

[FilmoreSlim]

Yeah I like this better then the other various spoiler mods ... some people just don't realize they need to "highlight" the text to reveal the text. With this it's pretty obvious! Thanks ;)

[Omega Prime]

For whatever reason, this doesn't seem to work with 3.5, even when it used to work fine for me with 3.0.7 :(

[Colejo]

For whatever reason, this doesn't seem to work with 3.5, even when it used to work fine for me with 3.0.7 :(

It works for me. I just had to edit the new headinclude template.

[PamelaE]

Does this def work on 3.5? I really need to implement this.

http://www.soapchat.net

[Borgs8472]

This is compatible with 3.5

[Alviker]

Run really in vB 3.5.x? :( :( In my vB 3.5.1 not run :( :( Sorry for my bad english ^^U. The button "Show Spoiler" appears, but when I click on this, not appear the Spoiler :( :(

http://foros.ffultimate.com

Help please. I like this hack :( Very thanks.

Atte. Alviker

[Cal813]

works for me on 3.5.3 however I wanted to know if there is a way to have a hide button as well? like comicforum has??

[DjTaz]

Brilliant - thanks :D

[Borgs8472]

I like to use {option} rather than "Show Spoiler about {option}", it allows for lots more uses.

[Aislinn]

So cool, thanks a ton!

[yesfans]

GREAT HACK! Works great for my yesfans.com site.

[TequilaLady]

I did install the spoiler-thing and I got this on my page, how can I make that disappeare?

[zetetic]

I like to use {option} rather than "Show Spoiler about {option}", it allows for lots more uses.
I've never used the variable bbcode (step 4 in the instructions) at all, because of Erwin's warning (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/showpost.php?p=719177&postcount=24) about xss vulnerability.

[sphero]

This is a cool mod, i mentioned it in the german support forum about 4 years ago ;)

The way i wanted to realize it was simply custom VB, this way i didnt need to change or mod any files, just a little change on one database table for the custom VB.

Could call it spoiler light :)
