Spoilers Tag

[spudracer]

Since a few of you don't realize you can use the simple spoilers tag that TWT made available on the board, I started this thread so you can know what you can do with it. :D

Whenever you have something that will spoil the movie just use the following Tag:[*spoilers=Your Movie] Your movie spoiler here [*/spoilers]

Since there I wanted you to see how it works I put the * in. To make full use out of the spoilers tag, remove the * so you get something like this:Bruce Willis is a ghost

Now, to see the spoiler, just highlight what is in the box. :)

[sadesdrk]

okay, lemmie try it.


the movie the Score was really lame, and i knew what was going to happen at the end. spoiled it for ya, didn't I? BTW- I can't read thmmie's spoiler tag on the LOTR thread.

[spudracer]

I could, try just using the Select All option with your browser. CTRL-A will do it too. :D

[spudracer]

Hey TWT, is there a way you can work the spoilers tag thing into the vB code little area, with the Bold, Italic, Underline, Size all that stuff? What do you think?

[Yoda]

I meant to do that awhile ago, but I keep putting it off. I'll see if I can do it this weekend, when I'll have some time off. :)

[mecurdius]

we should have a spoil the movie thread... twt would you allow it?

[spudracer]

Where would the fun be in that. I mean it wouldn't be much of a thread where everyone could look at it. It would spoil at least one movie for someone.

The butler did it!

[sadesdrk]

blah blah blah

[sadesdrk]

what am I doing wrong?

[Yoda]

It doesn't react well to apostrophes...which annoys me.

[sadesdrk]

oh. Bummer. I wanted to respond to something about that movie. Guess I'll do it in a PM.

[Yoda]

Just leave the apostrophe out.

[sadesdrk]

okay. Thanks.

[Sexy Celebrity]

Let me try this....

Heather gets pushed naked in a shopping cart by a naked Jolly Green Giant. He brings her to the cereal aisle, where she has sex with three guys dressed as the Rice Krispies. A man dressed as Tony the Tiger then gets in on the action. Later, Mama Celeste gets in on the fun. That all ends when they are interrupted by contestants on Supermarket Sweep Shows Skin.

[sadesdrk]

Sexy Celebrity, otherwise known as S.C. , was apprehended this afternoon, after authorities tracked his online movements to MoFo. He was handcuffed and thrown in the back of a padded van. He was addmitted to the Nut House in Napa, California. It is rumored that an upstanding member of MoFo, a sexy, little thing, known only as Sweetpea, A.K.A. Sades, A.K.A. Boop. will make continues visits to the new lunatic. Details at 11.

You need to add a title. Like this (without the asterisks):

[*spoilers=Terminator]He'll be back[/spoilers*]

[sphericthor]

Can I ask why the text doesn't appear unless you highlight it

[Yoda]

Can I ask why the text doesn't appear unless you highlight it
:laugh: Because that's the entire point. :D So that people don't go reading accidently, thus inadvertantly spoiling things for them. This way people have to CHOOSE whether or not they want to see the spoilers.

[sphericthor]

I kind of figured it out after my previous comment, I just wasn't thinking about it at the time

In case anyone hasn't noticed yet, there's now a button on the WYSIWYG editor to facilitate the use of the Spoilers Tag (http://www.movieforums.com/community/misc.php?do=bbcode#spoilers). It's the red exclamation point (http://www.movieforums.com/community/images/editor/spoilers.gif) at the far right-hand side of the second formatting column.

If you don't see it, you're probably using either the Basic Editor, or else the Standard Editor. To switch to the Enhanced Interface, visit the Edit Options (http://www.movieforums.com/community/profile.php?do=editoptions) page and scroll to the bottom. It's the third option in the last dropdown menu.

Please note that this button does not work properly when using the Standard Editor (which is the compromise between the full-on MS-word style WYSIWYG editor, and the plain text box). It produces spoiler tags sans the "=" part which identifies the specific movie the spoilers refer to, and thus will not work properly as-is. I'm working on an elegant way to fix this.

There are spoilers in this spoiler tag spoiling the tag that contain spoilers which spoils it for those who dont want it spoiled.

It's amazing how strong this thread still is...I mean it just keeps going and going and going...

Yeah it worked for me once but has since stopped also.

[Yoda]

There's a bug wherein two spoiler tags in the same post do not work; this happens also when someone quotes someone else's spoiler tags, and then adds their own. The normal ones in this thread should still work fine, however.

[Pyro Tramp]

Oh, k, explains the hit and miss redirection. Thanks.

I've always hated clowns. Grown men in make-up pretending they are your friend. That white make-up alone makes me want to gag. Ronald McDonald is another one I couldnt stand. Just look at this fool. I mean DAMN!

when clicking view spoilers it brings me back to the homepage....what's wrong?

[Yoda]

when clicking view spoilers it brings me back to the homepage....what's wrong?
There is a bug that causes the "View Spoilers" link to break when a spoilers tag appears more than once in a single post. This is because the spoilers tag reads the ID number of each post to hide and display the spoilers, so when it sees two spoiler blocks with the same ID number, it doesn't know which to display.

I've toyed around with a solution for awhile, but haven't been able to fix it yet. Thankfully, multiple spoilers in a single post are a bit rare, but I'd still love to find a way to fix this if I can. In the meantime, I hope it isn't too much of an inconvenience.

[SamsoniteDelilah]

Interesting. I looked for the tag today when posting about Black Swan and ended up taking a shot in the dark with typing in code. Is there still a button that I'm missing?

[Yoda]

Aye; you had "spoiler" instead of "spoilers" and didn't specify a movie name (the part after the = sign). I fixed it up right after you posted it, though. :)

[planet news]

So, I really don't want to cause anyone any trouble, but whatever happened to the "drop-down" spoilers on this board? I always liked those, because you could type a really long post and not stretch out the page or have a hidden image pop up or something. I have zero problem with the current spoilers, but I wonder how hard it is to get the "drop-down" spoiler up in this joint.

Again, I really don't want to cause anyone any work... just thought of it...

[Yoda]

I don't think we ever had anything like that. Are you thinking of another board (if so, could you send me an example)? Are "drop-down" spoilers basically just one line until you click the button, at which time they sort of expand down?

[planet news]

Here (http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?p=1036301901)'s a forum that shows it (I'm not a member of it). It goes down as large as you need it, but when hidden, it only takes up a line of space.

[Yoda]

Yeah, I've seen those. I could certainly write something like that up without too much trouble. You think it's better?

[planet news]

I frequent a forum where it is encouraged in order to make pages more readable. Especially in debate threads where the replies often take up a full page. Very rarely does it get as bad as it does in MoFos as it does there however.

If you have to actually write something, I don't think it's worth it. I thought maybe you could just "activate" it or something on vBulletin.

Seriously, don't worry about it...

[Ðèstîñy]

Forgetting which forum you used fancy spoiler tags on? A likely story.

I think that we should consider this spam, and let Loner get in some practice with the ban hammer.

To whom it may concern . . . I'm teasing.

[planet news]

I'm purposely not mentioning the name. I don't go on there as much anymore compared to here. People are way more hostile. Hence the massive spoiler tags to collapse the arguments. That's basically the reason why I'm not mentioning the name (which I actually have mentioned).

I love this place. It is an oasis of the internets.

(and I'm not only brown-nosing the mods when I say that)

[Yoda]

Ah, I dig. It would involve me doing something vaguely resembling work, but you make some good points about its advantages. I think the one about images and other colored text in spoilers and such is probably the most pertinent, as most people don't mind the long replies.

I'll add it to the list and see if I can come up with something good. Apart from a little effort the main thing is that I kind of like the "placeholder" look of the current ones. I'm tempted to add a second type, but that might be too confusing, so I'd probably be forced to choose.

I just wanted to test this space and see if it worked. And to say that I don't like spoiled cabbage. Or fresh for that matter. :)

[OMEGA5]

testing complete

[Yoda]

Gotta remove the asterisks. :)

[Yoda]

So, this isn't quite another spoiler tag, but it can be used as one, so I'll mention it here: you can now collapse things into one line, and reveal them with a Show/Hide button, like this:

Lots
of
long
stuff
here
that
takes
up
a
lot
of
space
I've always liked the slightly atypical way we mark spoilers here, but it does have some downsides, like the inability to hide spoilery images, for example. So if you want to do that, or just prefer this, or just want to collapse things (like an unwieldy Table of Contents in a review thread, for example), you can do it like this:

[*collapse=Title Here]Hidden stuff here[/collapse*]

Thanks to Rhys for bugging me into doing this.

Can you elaborate on which part is giving you trouble/what specifically is happening when you attempt it?

[Takoma11]

A quick tip for when you can't figure out how to use something:

Go to a post that is using that feature, then hit the quote button. It shows you the exact tags/code that the person used. This is how I figured out how to make collapsible lists.

So if you go up to Dani8's post just a few posts up and hit the quote button, you'll see exactly how they got their spoiler tags.
