Spoiler-Modification v. 1.0.0

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.

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....

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.

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.

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?

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

/me clicks install

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

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?

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