Spoiler Tags (1.5.1)

[Philip]

fair enough

I
I have the latest version (1.4.7).
My custom Title works fine, but it is missing the ": Click to show/hide" bit, which is pretty important.

What could be wrong? Here is my test: cottonwood.boards.net/post/186

When using a custom title, the standard title, including the 'Click to show/hide' is replaced, so there is nothing 'wrong', it's just no longer there.

I have thought of adding it as an additional option to have that displayed along with your chosen title, but as no-one has ever brought it up before, I never got around to it.

If I can add it easily, I'll do so asap, otherwise it will have to wait until I am force to update the code for V6.. I'll let you know as soon as I do.

"no-one has ever brought it up before..."
That's a sirpriose! I guess I don't expect readers to be so intuitive that they would see a stand-alone text word as a sneaky boolean switch! Hmmmm.

But even if I set up some nice CSS to make the color and style match a standard link, I would still be so old-school as to want the usual show/hide "tooltip."

So what now?*

SPOILER: Click to show

I will wait to see if it is a manageable tweak!

*Funny. I see in Preview that my stock BBcode spoiler tag is not acting as a switch! But after posting? The wished-for result, minus the wished-for Title. Can you say "irony?"

To be honest, I had always thought that if a poster wanted the 'Click to view' to be included in the spoiler title, then they would add it at the point of posting. As for the 'Click to hide', I've could never really see the need for that, as you just opened it anyway.. Forcing it onto the spoilers when the poster could decide for themselves the title of the spoiler anyway seemed pretty counter-productive... That said, I had thought about adding it as an option, and said I'd try, so please give version 1.4.8 a try.

Spoilers have never worked in the preview side of the editor, and with this plugin, before PB made their changes, you could at least SEE the spoiler in the preview side.

"please give version 1.4.8 a try."

According to your Support page (Page 1) the latest version is 1.4.7, and that is the version in the Plug-In Library. If there is a newer version, adding a link in the reply would have been neat.

Look again, there is a link in my reply.. You quoted it. "please give version 1.4.8 a try."

Oh the irony. There is a link? Yes, now I find it because you told me it was there. May I point out that my initial request to have the spoiler tag include the hide/show info. I also thought I would find a way to add CSS to make the basic unsettled link title actually LOOK like a link should. You may disagree but the standard is supposed to be a blue and underlined. Why? So people know it's a link.

I am vision impaired. You feel adding the hide/show text is a bit too much. Yesterday I asked a friend to spot the links on my page with a few test examples of spoiler tagging? She pointed to the BBcode standard, had no guesses on the two examples I set up with your plug-in. Inprompted, she said she never would have guessed, and if she popped one open by accident she would have not known how to get it gone!

Never yet was able to add some CSS to style the new title. I will try 1.4.8 and I hope you might find some time to tweak the resulting visual look.

Thanks.

The plugin has two simple options to choose colors for both the spoiler title and the spoiler body, or, you can use CSS and add varying effects to both from within the plugin too.

If you would like a certain effect and cannot do it yourself, I will do my best to help, but the spoiler will only look like the standard text within the post if that is how you have the plugin set up. Using the CSS option you can even have the spoilers look like the PB buttons if you so wished, so it's not the plugins' fault if it not set up to your liking.

As for the 'Click to show' message, I did add it with version 1,4,8, which was linked to previously.

"I did add it with version 1,4,8"

Excellent news. I will certainly try it again. Thanks

No worries.. Glad to help.

If you require anything else, just yell.

Hey.

I installed this plugin. And I like it.

But I have an issue. It's displaying this on the top of my forum, just beneath the navigation bar and the ad. This shows in every page of the forum.

It shows: 

} .sptitle { color: #072233 } .sptitle { } -->

have a screenshot just in case:
puu.sh/zA4ez/67d3a434cf.png

I disabled this plugin to make sure it's this what's causing the issue, and it is. Halp.

That was an anomoly with version 1.4.7. version 1.4.8 has since been submitted to the library which should fix that issue.

You can either wait a day or do for it to be accepted, or you can download the latest version directly from here...

Can you please post or PM me a link to your forum so I can take a look.

Thanks.
