Spoiler Tag

This is a (mostly) CSS based spoiler tag for vB 3.5 RC 3 and up (Perhaps lower, but not tested.) Just follow the instructions below or in the .zip file. Have fun!

Step 1.

Copy the following into the additional CSS definitions (Admin CP > Styles & Templates > Style Manager > All Style Options>Additional CSS definitions) and paste it into the lower box.

CSS Code:

.spoiler
{
	background: Black;
	color: Black;
	border-style: dashed;
	border-color: White;
}

Step 2.

Now click save and go to the page to add a new BB Code (Admin CP> Custom BB Codes > Add New BB Code)

Enter the following (Exactly as shown!):

Title: Spoiler

Tag: spoiler

Replacement:
<center><font color="red">Spoiler Below</font></center> <div class="spoiler">{param}</div>

Example: [spoiler]test[/spoiler]

Description: Hides text

Use {option}: No

Button Image: Leave empty

Click save and go try it out!

FAQ:

Q:I want to change the color that the spoiler tag uses! How?

A: If you know CSS it is all controlled in the CSS definitions. If you do not know CSS let me know in the thread at vb.org and I'll see if I can help you.

Q: Why doesn't the example work in the admin cp?

A: I'm not sure, but it will still work in posts.

If there are any problems please report them in this thread. I'll try to help all I can.

what this exactly doing

[TruthElixirX]

The user puts [spoiler]texthere[/spoiler] and it hides the text that is in the spoiler tags until it is high lighted.

awesome, I had this installed as bbcode that I found as vbulletin.com but it only workes cuz I have a board with a black background.. if I use a diff style you can see the spoiler, so I'll give this a shot.

[EasyTarget]

if people are wondering what's the point, its so you can have a thread and talk about movie plots/spoilers of recently released movies, or jokes that make them read the joke part first.

I'm sure there's plenty of other uses too, but that's what I use it for.

*edit*
since we're talking bbcode, does anyone have a link to some good bbcode lists?
