Funny you say that... I have a Task in my Outlook called "Visibility/spoiler". Should revisit it.

 

 

Just checking in to see if freitasm ever got the chance to implement [spoiler]spoiler[/spoiler] tags.

 

(Wanted to post some movie quiz questions but the fun would be quickly over without them.)





After I was born, I didn't talk to my parents for two years.

Thanks for jogging my memory. I looked into this, and it doesn't seem too hard to create a simple one. I will try later.

Spoiler Tag apologises for taking the lid off the bucket of request snakes and slinks out of the chat.

Yeah, nah. A crude spoiler tag using the [ spoiler ]  and [ /spoiler ] syntax.

 

Click to see spoiler(s)

 

But you have to make sure you don't do a typo because unclosed tags won't work.

 

But it just might.

That would be a bit more work as it would have to be a Javascript function to add to the editor - something I've done before with the image upload (a custom script I wrote for that).

 

Having said that, who would want to use the editor on mobile? I tested on a tablet and it works just fine on Chrome/Edge/Opera.

Hi. 

 

In some other forums you can select text, and it does a little popup that says 'quote' and when you click, it starts a new reply and adds that text. It's not, at least for me, a function of mobile, which I don't often do, it's more about it being easier than using the quote tag functions, which whilst are functional, aren't as quick and easy to use. 

 

Multi quote is a function of those other forums as well, which is a big time saver. I am not sure what's involved in implementing on GZ, it's it's a lot of work, then perhaps not worth it.

I am sorry I've confused you.

 

There are two paragraphs in my reply, indicating two separate things. 

 

     

  1. Quote functionality: "That would be a bit more work as it would have to be a Javascript function to add to the editor - something I've done before with the image upload (a custom script I wrote for that)."
  2. Editor being extended to mobile: "Having said that, who would want to use the editor on mobile? I tested on a tablet and it works just fine on Chrome/Edge/Opera."

How quick/easy is it to extend that to [ spoiler=Title ] to override the "Click to see spoiler(s)" text? It could be useful in some situations to break up long posts.

It's easy, like the URL code which can have one or two arguments.

You can now use two types of spoilers: [ spoiler ] secret [ /spoiler ] or [ spoiler=teaser ] secret [ /spoiler ] - without the spaces - results below:

 

Click to see spoiler(s)
secret

 

teaser
secret

Also, overnight I fixed a problem with recursive BBCODE tags, where one tag inside another wouldn't work. For example, an image inside a spoiler wouldn't work (I know someone tried this morning, the fix is now deployed, examples below):

 

Examples:

 

Click to see spoiler(s)
Testing bold italic underline

 

Click to see spoiler(s)
test

 

Click to see spoiler(s)
test

 

teaser
secret

 

Click to see spoiler(s)
A chart goes here

 

Click to see spoiler(s)

Because it doesn't warrant it's own thread, is it possible to relax the quote limit for trusted members by 1 please? There are often times it's legitimately useful/needed for context to quote more than a couple of sections of a reply, and right now I work around it by quoting to the limit and then using other methods to highlight things to reply to additional points :)
