Invisible Spoilers

[Gray Matter]

There's a vB2 version of this hack (although not a very good one, I suppose), but I was hoping someone could make a hack for this (or a plugin if possible) for 3.5.0. :)

It would be a hack that would add a vBcode and anything within the opening and closing tags would show up with the font color the same as the post color (making it "invisible" so that you would have to highlight it to read it). I'd like to be able to customize the way the text shows up, so that I could have a "Spoiler: -- invisible text --" prefix-type thing. :D

Hopefully someone can do this. ;)

Sounds like a new custom BB code needs to be done. Forgive my ignorance, however, what purpose does this have??

f.e. on gaming forums where members post solutions to games...if you don't want to see the solution and want to figure it out on your own you don't click the spoiler link ;)

Ahhhh ok that makes sense!

Heck suppose it could be on book clubs as well...so that when bits and pieces of the books are discussed, that information does not ruin it for them.

I am thinking this could be done with customer BB info...I am sure someone familiar with that could do it quickly :)

This is also a much needed request for http://www.soapchat.net where people are discussing TV shows and upcoming storylines which some people don't wish to see.

I see there is a version which works on 3.0x but a 3.5 version would be fantastic.

here's the bbcode I use

title:spoiler

tag:spoiler

Replacement:
<div>Spoilers:<br>
<table bgcolor="#000000"><tr><td><font color="#000000">{param}</font></tr></table>
</div>

example:content

Use {option}:no

hope this helps.
