Topic: Spoiler Tags
Hello!
I'm running a german movie website and one of the disadvantages of discussing movies in a forum is: how can you tell important details of a movie without ruining the fun for people who haven't seen the movie? If you tell the surprise ending of a film somebody who wanted to see the movie will surely kill you.
So, I tried to make a workaround. It's not a real mod, only some additional lines in two scripts (version 1.1.2!). It works as follows:
[spoiler]This text will tell you the murderer.[/spoiler]This will print your text like a quote, but in a almost unreadable color, nearly the same as the background color.
For an example have a look in this thread I've just started: http://www.senseofview.de/forum/viewtopic.php?id=109
The text is in german but I think you can see the functionality.
So, what have I changed? The only scripts I modified are edit.php and includes/parser.php and you have to make some additions in your style sheets.
Okay, first edit.php. In lines 112 and 113 I changed
$a = array("#\[quote\]#i", "#\[quote=#i" ... "#\[url=#i", "#\[/url\]#i");
$b = array('[quote]', '[quote=', '[/quote]', ... '[url]', '[url=', '[/url]');to
$a = array("#\[quote\]#i", "#\[quote=#i" ... "#\[url=#i", "#\[/url\]#i", "#\[spoiler\]#i", "#\[/spoiler\]#i");
$b = array('[quote]', '[quote=' ... '[url]', '[url=', '[/url]', '[spoiler]', '[/spoiler]');In includes/parser.php there is something more to do. Well, look around line 80 for:
$q_start = strpos($text, '[quote]');
$q_end = strpos($text, '[/quote]');and add in the next line:
$s_start = strpos($text, '[spoiler]');
$s_end = strpos($text, '[/spoiler]');Just some lines below add:
if ($s_start === false) $s_start = 65536;
if ($s_end === false) $s_end = 65536;And below change
if (min($c_start, $c_end, $q_start, $q_end, $q2_start) == 65536)to
if (min($c_start, $c_end, $q_start, $q_end, $q2_start, $s_start, $s_end) == 65536)Below that you'll find something like this:
else if ($c_start < min($c_end, $q_start, $q_end))
{
...
}
else if ($c_end < min($c_start, $q_start, $q_end))
message($lang_common['BBCode error'].' '.$lang_common['BBCode error 3']);Just add almost the same, only modified for the spoiler tags:
// We found a [spoiler]
else if ($s_start < min($s_end, $q_start, $q_end))
{
$tmp = strpos($text, '[/spoiler]');
if ($tmp === false)
message($lang_common['BBCode error'].' '.$lang_common['BBCode error 2']);
else
$text = substr($text, $tmp+10);
$cur_index += $tmp+10;
}
// We found a [/spoiler] (this shouldn't happen since we handle both start and end tag in the if clause above)
else if ($s_end < min($s_start, $q_start, $q_end))
message($lang_common['BBCode error'].' '.$lang_common['BBCode error 3']);Search for the following line:
if (strpos($message, 'quote') !== false)After the end of the if-clause add this:
if (strpos($message, 'spoiler') !== false)
{
$message = str_replace('[spoiler]', '<br></span><table style="width:99%" align="center" cellspacing="4" cellpadding="6"><tr><td class="punspoiler"><span class="puntext"><strong>SPOILER!</strong></span><br><span class="punspoilertext">', $message);
$message = str_replace('[/spoiler]', '</span></td></tr></table><span class="puntext">', $message);
}That's it! As a last step you've to add to new classes to your style sheets. Just copy the TD.punquote and paste it as TD.punspoiler. And somewhere add a ".punspoilertext", which has a slightly darker color than the background-color of TD.punspoiler. Example:
TD.punspoiler {
background-color: #F6F6F6;
border: #606060;
border-style: dashed;
border-width: 1px
}
.punspoilertext { color: #D4D4D4; }So, i hope this wasn't too confusing. If I missed important lines of the PunBB source it would be nice if you can show me where.
