Spoiler Tags

[Red Dragon]

I don't know what N-Sider uses for a board (I think it's VBulletin but I believe I am wrong) but I was wondering if it was possible to use this.

Example(Warning: Zelda spoilers)

I think it would be better than what we use now for spoilers (with the loads of spaces and junk).

Looks like V-Bulletin to me.

I'm always wrong about everything, so meh.

Re: Spoiler Tags

I clicked on the link and my mouse happened to be sitting right over the spoiler.

It's vBulletin.

While I've seen that type of spoiler tag on many vBulletin forums, I've never found the code for it, and no one I ask will tell me it. It's a custom addition to the forum, so that means I have to hunt for it.

Re: Spoiler Tags

I might have found the code here:

http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/archi.../t-105176.html

I can't view the code, however, because I don't have a vB license.

Re: Spoiler Tags

I tried that before, and could never get it to work.

Re: Spoiler Tags

You could always try simply putting white text inside of [CODE] tags. It's not the same, but at least it's better than massive spaces. Or, you could use Rot13.

Re: Spoiler Tags

Well it isn't be too difficult assuming Valk knows how vBulletin parses it's BB code (which can be pretty difficult, as it was hard to find and understand in phpBB).

What you could do is find where the board code tags are parsed and add in one for Spoilers, then find where it is replaced and do this

[php]$post_text = preg_replace('/\[Spoilers\]([.]*?)\[/Spoilers\]/i', '<span class="spoilers">$1</span>', $post_text);[/php]

Hurray for regular expressions.

Then in the style sheet for the Pav add

.spoilers {
  color: #49566D; //background for pav posts
  background: #49566D;
}

.spoilers:hover {
  color: white;
}

Or like nintendo did, use the non CSS file way of

[php]
$post_text = preg_replace('/\[Spoilers\]([.]*?)\[/Spoilers\]/i', '<span style="color: #49566D; background: #49566D;"
"class="spoilers" onmouseover="this.style.color=\'#FFFFFF\'" onmouseout="this.style.color=this.style.backgroundColor">$1</span>', $post_text);
[/php]

Re: Spoiler Tags

And wow TTC never ceases to amaze me

Re: Spoiler Tags

You could always try simply putting white text inside of [code] tags.

The main problem with that is that the different backgrounds would need different colors associated with them. Text already shows up as white on a dark blue-ish background for me. So simply making text white wouldn't make any difference. If there was a way to use the background color variable instead of a color constant, that would work. But I don't know anything about vB, so I can't help with that.
[Edit: But it looks like TTC already posted that. So nevermind.]

Re: Spoiler Tags

why not just make the background and text black, then you can highlight it with your mouse to see it without any .hover css tag

Re: Spoiler Tags

Can't we do it like we had the old pavilion forums and the mag forums?

It's appear as a link that said spoiler and when you clicked it the text appears.
