Reveal tags

[Aaron10]

Anyone know if I can get reveal tags like this on my forum?

It kinda drops down when you click the little show button.

Thanks

[Arantor]

Do a search in the mod site for the Spoiler tag.

[Aaron10]

Does the spoiler tag work the same? I want it drop down, not where you highlight and it shows. Its mainly to keep topics clean like in the above

You Mean A Button When Click Show A Something ?
Its Spoiler FOr Sure

The one of spoiler tag mods has the option of "click to open" / "click to close" or it will open on mouseover. No "highlight this" crap.

[Arantor]

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=195 is probably the one you want.

[Aaron10]

Well I've just downloaded all 3 versions and it says they're all incompatible with SMF 1.0.10

[SAFAD]

Parse It !

[Arantor]

This is a known bug with the package parser being not suited to the change from 1.1.9 to 1.1.10 (because 9 > 1)

But you should be OK to add the mod manually - Manual Installation of Mods

[Aaron10]

Ok so I just opened it and theres no modname.xml or anything like that, theres a .kpf file?

[Arantor]

Go to the mod page, find your SMF version in the drop down and hit Parse - it'll give you the full instructions of what changes to make.

[Aaron10]

Ok I've installed it and its working but 2 things:

1. In the post reply page, the BBC or the image doesn't show (spoiler.gif) yet I uploaded the image to both the default themes BBC folder and my themes BBC folder.

2. If there a way to have the drop down spoiler but into a quote box? (Makes it easier for people to see what's in the spoiler because it doesn't have a box around it when I just to have the spoilers show as a button click)

Thanks

[Arantor]

1. Did you upload it to the theme's images folder?

2. There is if you're willing to manually edit one of the core SMF files.

[Aaron10]

1. Yes, but only in the BBC folder, should I upload it into the post folder on anywhere else?

2. If you know what the code is otherwise I wont risk it

[Arantor]

1. It needs to be in both the Themes/default/images/bbc and Themes/yourtheme/images/bbc folder and no others.

2. It's a mod to Subs.php but I'm trying to work out exactly what it is you're after. There are multiple display mods for this mod, under which one(s) should it change and precisely to what?

[Aaron10]

1. Well I've uploaded it to both folders and its ticked under BBC in admin CP so I dont know whats going on there. I have some english-utf8 files and the mod just says to edit the english.whatever.php so maybe I need to edit the codes in my english-utf8 files.

2. Basically if you look here:

http://www.psu.com/forums/showpost.php?p=4297160&postcount=1

The boxes just show as a quote box, so basically when a user clicks on the spoiler button and it drops down, I want whatevers in the spoiler tags to be in a quote box. (But obviously not saying 'Quote:' above it.

[Arantor]

And would you want that for all the styles of spoiler? Note that there are 3 distinct styles as it stands.

[Aaron10]

Yeah, thanks

Theres a dotted style, but I'd prefer if it was in a box like the quotes are

[Arantor]

So, if I understand you right you want to remove all three styles and have a single consistent style like the one you pointed out?

[Aaron10]

Indeed

[Arantor]

In which case it's not so much a mod, more a rewrite of the mod. It'll take me longer to do that, but I'll see what I can do - no guarantees of time.

[Aaron10]

Well to be honest I'm only going to ever use 1 style and thats the third option (clickshow/hide) cant remember what its called but its not the hover one and its not the link one, its a button

[Aaron10]

BUMP

Arantor, if you're still doing it, just do it for 'buttononclickshowhide'

[Aaron10]

bump

Anyone?

[Arantor]

I'm sorry, I really haven't had time today to look at this - probably not tomorrow either

[Aaron10]

Arantor - dont worry, not in too much of a hurry, what about the weekend?

PS. If I use it now (how it is) then update it using the new quote style, will all previous posts using the spoiler tag be updated with the new style?

[Aaron10]

Arantor, did you get time?

[Aaron10]

bump

[Arantor]

I'm sorry, I'd forgotten all about this. I'll look into it now for you.

You may need to change the style of .spoilerbody in your theme's style sheet, but I'll need more information on that. Let me know how this works for you first.

[Aaron10]

Ok it couldnt find that code in my subs.php so I've attached it for you.

[Arantor]

I'll see if I can make all the changes for you but likely not going to be for a bit - in the interim I can confirm that if you look at that file and do a search on 'spoiler_tag' you'll find the first code block.

[Aaron10]

Code Select Expand

// Spoiler choosing function
function get_spoiler($content, $topic = '') {
global $txt, $settings, $context, $modSettings;

// Optional topic if given
if($topic != '')
$topic = ': '.$topic;

So basically I just slot it in there?

[Arantor]

That's the start of it, yeah.

Just take out the code you already have - as far as I indicated - and replace it with the other code.

[Aaron10]

Arantor - if you look here at post #27, its pushed to thr right slightly:

http://forums.finalfantasyvii.info/index.php/topic,14.20.html

So it just needs putting into a box like a quote. Also, if possible, like the link in the first post, underneath a spoiler is there a way to have a kind of line of the quote box underneath the spoiler button? (kinda hard to explain but see the link in the OP)

[Arantor]

Arantor - if you look here at post #27, its pushed to thr right slightly:

http://forums.finalfantasyvii.info/index.php/topic,14.20.html

I can't see it on that site at all. I just see a blank space where I assume there is supposed to be a spoiler.

As for your other requirements, not without fairly substantial changes to the mod, I think.

[Aaron10]

Oh dear, I just logged out and can't see it either :S

[Aaron10]

bump

If this is a big job I'd be willing to pay a small price via Paypal

[Arantor]

I still can't see what you're using as a reference point that you'd like it to be changed to.

Please can you provide a screenshot of the other forum?

[Aaron10]

Spoiler closed:



Spoiler open:



Basically as close to that as possible with guests able to view them. Like I said if you want a price its ok.

[Arantor]

Argh, it's been sufficiently long since I last looked at the mod in question that I need to basically start over with re-learning it.

There are closer tags to what you're looking for than the mod you're actually using, btw that require less work to modify. Simply 'spoiler tag' seems to stick in my mind.

[Aaron10]

Ok I've found another one that seems to be closer to what I want:

http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=573

However I'm trying to get rid of the old one yet its still active on my forum. I've uninstalled it and uploaded and overwritten the files it used

[[SiNaN]]

So were you able to solve your issue AaronSOLDIER?

[Aaron10]

No somehow the spoilers are still on the forum even when I post now but I uninstalled the mod and replaced all the files...

[Aaron10]

The spoilers are still there even though I uninstalled

Can you attach the files you edited and a link to mod you are trying to uninstall?

[Aaron10]

Sorry I have been away for awhile, heres the files that are edited by the program.

Also I'm using english UTF8 and UK english if you need those too. Link to mod:
