Spoiler Tags (1.5.1)

[Reya]

   Hi, I'm a complete novice when it comes to coding things, so please bear with me.... Anyway, I downloaded the plugin and it was working for a while, however all of a sudden it seems to have stopped and even when I plug in [spoiler=x][/spoiler] it just shows up as the default spoiler text. I'm not looking for anything fancy, I would just like to be able to use the text option so people can tell what my spoilers are.

Here's a link of where its not working, inside the box of the first post at the bottom. For some reason, it seems to work fine in this thread however. Does it have something to do with the fact that I'm using style tags? The plugins I have installed in general are yours, style tags, and tabbed posts.

Could you please PM me the exact ubbc code you are using to create the erroneous post so that I can recreate it on my test site and do some testing.

Thankyou.

Version 1.2.2 in the first post can now use non alpha-numeric characters with the exception of square or curly brackets and single quotes ([]{}') in the title, and curly brackets in the body.

Adding them to the title in the admin panel will break the code, so don't try.. If you try to use them in the posts, they will either be removed or replaced.

Hi, this is a note to describe my experience of this limitation (which is still present in version 1.4.8), as well as to offer a potential fix.

The forum to which I belong has been using this plugin for a while, but I only recently ran into this issue when attempting to place code (more specifically KaTeX code) within a spoiler.

Regular spoilers work fine, the issue comes from the conflict with the delimiters used for titled spoilers.

Okay, so don't use titled spoilers -- the issue there is that the plugin upgrades regular spoilers into the titled form when switching between editor modes (e.g. to check that the KaTeX renders as intended). Although that can be carefully avoided, if you know of the issue in the first place, doing so is inconvenient.

Hopefully, however, the underlying problem can be solved rather simply: the regex within convertspoils() and both within adjustSpoilers() match the contents of the spoiler title greedily, whereas it should match non-greedily (or alternatively, include the closing brace in the negated character set that represents the allowed title characters).

For now I've included a plugin to patch those two functions as such. This seems to have done the trick, without introducing unintended consequences, but there may well be something I've missed.

Also if that fix is successful, spoiler contents entered via the dialog should no longer be required to have its braces translated into square brackets (via insertSpoil()).

I love this Pluggin, but I can't make it work when I'm tagging users under the Spoiler.

What happens is, when I put in the code and the Spoilername {Users} and here tags users on the page, if I then work on something in the BBC codes it overwrite the "Spoiler name" I've given it, with the name {Spoiler}

It only does this when I'm tagging users, if there's no tagging, it works perfectly fine even if I'm working in the BBC codes.


Am I doing something wrong?

Could you please post an example of the code you are trying to use? As I have no problems using the spoiler with member tags.

Thanks.

Would be great if you could see a list of members who viewed the post.

It would, wouldn't it...

Unfortunately, that would require a key, and I'm not too willing to add a key to a plugin that doesn't really need it.

Ahhh

After V6 arrives, and if keys are more freely available, I'll think about adding that option, so don't lose hope just yet.

Is it possible to add underlining to all the spoilers? There's a CSS input section but I'm not familiar with CSS in general.

It is indeed...

Add this to the CSS box in the plugin..
text-decoration: underline;

Thanks!

Todge, this has probably been discussed in the previous pages but has there been any progress on this mod working on the mobile site view?

Not Todge, but I can answer: no. Plugins do not work on the mobile view as a software limitation, not a plugin limitation. If you need this plugin to work on mobile view, you will either:

- need to disable mobile view in your admin panel (under admin > upgrades > experiments). note that if your desktop forum theme isn't responsive, this will make your forum difficult to use on mobile.

- wait til v6 (no ETA at this time).

I'm having an issue where the Spoiler tag isn't working. If I type this:
[spoiler=Spoiler][/spoiler]


It ends up displaying as this in plaintext:

{Spoiler}And nothing else. What am I doing wrong?
