Woo hoo, TGIF.

Greetings from Germany.

Quick Question:

Is there a way to deny guests seeing postings behind a spoiler ?

Thanks in Advance and have a wonderful weekend, everyone.

Hi,

I don't know of any way to restrict guests from seeing what is behind the spoiler tag. Sorry!

This is something we will consider for the future and I'll label this with the Feature Request label.

osnafrank ,

You can hide the spoilers from guests with a couple modifications to the default theme that guests see.

1. Go to Admin > Structure > Layout Templates, Forum Wrapper

2. Look for:
<div id="wrapper">
3. and replace it with:
<div id="wrapper" class="{if $[current_user.is_guest]}is-guest{/if}">
4. Then go to Admin > Themes > Advanced Styles & CSS, Style Sheet

5. Scroll to the very bottom and on a new line add this:
#wrapper.is-guest .spoiler_header { display: none; }

Note, this currently won't work for guests visiting the forum using mobile devices (mobile view).

Thanks a lot Scott, it's workin great !

Thanks everyone for your help.

Addendum:

Yes, it works, but only for spoilers that have been

posted before the modification.

Spoilers posted afterwards are still visible for guests.

Nevertheless, thanks everyone.

osnafrank, the code will work for spoilers regardless if they are made before or after the code was added to the forum. The code targets the element itself regardless of time.

Can you link me to a post that still shows a spoiler for quests.

osnafrank, ah ok you have the Vspoiler plugin installed which is the issue.

Give me a minute to look this over.

osnafrank,

In your CSS try replacing this:
#wrapper.is-guest .spoiler_header { display: none; }
with this:
#wrapper.is-guest .spoiler_header, #wrapper.is-guest .spoiler { display: none!important;}

[osnafrank]

Scott, that did the trick !

Thanks again for your help, much appreciated.
