My first hack - Invisible Spoilers

To make a really invisible Spoiler, just open admin/functions.php

find:

global $regexcreated,$searcharray,$replacearray,$phpversionnum

directly after that, insert the following:

,$counter

and be carefull, that you leave the ; at the end.
Then find:

 $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(img)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/img\])/siU", "<a href=\"\\5\" target=\"_blank\">\\5</a>", $bbcode);

    $bbcode=str_replace("\\'", "'", $bbcode);

directly after that, insert the following:

if($counter%2==0) {
      
      $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(sp)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/sp\])/siU", "<normalfont>Spoiler:<br></normalfont><br><font color=\"#13486D\">\\5</font>", $bbcode);
    }
    else {
    $bbcode = preg_replace("/(\[)(sp)(])(\r\n)*([^\"]*)(\[\/sp\])/siU", "<normalfont>Spoiler:<br></normalfont><br><font color=\"#1C5780\">\\5</font>", $bbcode);
}
    $bbcode=str_replace("\\'", "'", $bbcode);

You are done. Save and upload the file.
Add the Spoiler with [sp]Spoiler[/sp] in your posts.

You can also do this:

Add a new vb code-
In first box put:

spoiler

In the second box put:

<font color="#FFFF66"><b>Warning</font> <font color="FFFFFF"> Spoiler Ahead!</b> :</font><font class=spoiler>{param}</font>

in description put:

The [spoiler] tag allows you to place text in your message that is unreadable, unless someone highlites it. This makes viewing the text a deliberate effort. This is for posting messages about movies or other things where you might not wish to give away plot points to those that haven't seen it yet.

Turn {Options} off, press ok.

Now open style, go to modify, fonts/colors/properties

and in the header instert, there should be a code like this:

PHP Code:

<meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes">
<style type="text/css"> 


add this

PHP Code:

.spoiler    {color: black; background: black} 


directly after it, to make it look like this:

PHP Code:

<meta http-equiv="MSThemeCompatible" content="Yes">
<style type="text/css">
.spoiler    {color: black; background: black}
BODY { 


I find that to be alot easyer

Heh, I see that you and I think alike T'Pau. I want my spoiler tag to use the colors of the style that the user is using, not a standard black on black (or whatever color). Thanks for the hack

[JeffH]

Can someone help me here? The instructions for doing T'Pau hack is way to vague and confusing to me. I'm new to any VB code, etc. and can't find any of the templates, code or what he is referring to.

Does anyone have a better Spoiler hack like a "Spoiler" VB code button such as the "Quote" button? How do you do this, there are no good details for it?

Thanks for any help, please list steps if replying on how it's done.

Regards,

Jeff

The one I like best is TWTCommish but he don't seem to want to explain how he did it?

The best spoiler hack was written by tubedog. It doesn't just create the same color text, it hides the message unless the user clicks on it.

I can safely conclude this works in 2.3

VERY nice This was exactly what I was looking for
