Spoiler Tag : Show/Hide · **Released**: 03-16-2006

A CSS/Javascript based spoiler tag for vB 3.5.x (but I think it must work with earlier versions)
Just follow the instructions below or in the .zip file.

I hope you like my first modification!

Instructions
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.

Code:

.pre-spoiler {
    border: 1px solid #B5C0A8;
    margin: 0 15px 5px 15px;
    background: #E3E9DB;
    padding: 3px 5px 3px 5px;
    font-weight: bold;
    text-align: right;
    color: #6A775B;
}
.spoiler {
    background: #E3E9DB;
    margin: 0 15px 15px 15px;
    padding: 5px;
    border: 1px solid #B5C0A8;
}

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) and enter the following:

Title: Spoiler
Tag: spoiler
Replacement:

Code:

<div>
    <div class="pre-spoiler">
    <span style="float:left; padding-top: 2px;">Spoiler</span> <input type="button" value="Show" style="width:80px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div class="spoiler" style="display: none;">{param}</div>
    </div>
</div>

Example: [spoiler]test[/spoiler]
Description: Hides text
Use {option}: No
Button Image: Leave empty

Click save and you are done!

Known bugs: You can read the spoiler in the "Thread Preview".

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.

looking good. thanks.

As I run a board that centers around anime and games, this was essential to not spoil major details.

Great mod. *clicks install*

For those of us too lazy to make a button, here is one. It's nothing pretty, just something for you to use, maybe I will make a better one later :-)

I've spent quite a bit of time mucking around, and I've come up with the following changes.

I've embedded the CSS within the replacement, so you don't need to go muck around with your styles.

I've also modified the CSS to be a bit more generic - and I've fixed it so that the spoiler doesn't stretch across the entire post. It is as big as the text between the tags.

Code:

<table><tr><td>
<div>
    <div style="margin-bottom: 5px;">
       <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:80px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" onclick="if (this.value=='Show Spoiler') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </div>
    <div>
        <div style="border: 1px dashed #0B198C; padding: 3px; display: none;">{param}</div>
    </div>
</div>
</td></tr></table>

I've modified this one so that you can use it inline in a paragraph:

Code:

<span>
    <span style="margin-bottom: 5px;">
       <input type="button" value="Show Spoiler" style="width:80px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" onclick="if (this.value=='Show Spoiler') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('span')[1].getElementsByTagName('span')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide Spoiler'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('span')[1].getElementsByTagName('span')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.value = 'Show Spoiler';}">
    </span>
    <span>
        <span style="border: 1px dashed #0B198C; padding: 0 3px 0 3px; display: none;">{param}</span>
    </span>
</span>

See this post if you want to see a sample of how it looks.

EDIT: I've cleaned up the code a bit - the toggle should now work in Safari.

Where do these codes get put? In the BBCode?

thisgeek · #28 04-24-2006, 03:53 PM

Yeah, it goes in the 'replacement' field.

Wow, this is really nice! I appreciate you sharing. I especially like the one that can be used "inline." However, the dashed lines make it a bit hard to read.

Previously I was using this:

HTML Code:

<div style="margin:5px 20px 20px 20px">

<div class="smallfont" style="margin-bottom:2px"><b>Spoiler:</b> 

<input type="button" value="Show" style="width:45px;font-size:10px;margin:0px;padding:0px;" onclick="if (this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display != '') { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = '';this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Hide'; } else { this.parentNode.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('div')[1].getElementsByTagName('div')[0].style.display = 'none'; this.innerText = ''; this.value = 'Show'; }">

</div>

<div class="alt2" style="margin: 0px; padding: 6px; border: 1px inset;">

<div style="display: none;">

{param}

</div>

</div>

</div>

Is there any way to combine the look of both? That is, use your inline version one, but with the recessed/line look (instead of the dashed-border?)

That would be great.

Thanks for this, it looks great!

Yes, easily. Just change the style="border: 1px dashed info in the tags to style="border: 1px inset.
