Spoiler like message?


(Apples) #1

Is there a possibility to use spoiler like stuff in our message?

I’ll explain myself:

When people post super long dxdial or whatever long code tutorial for exemple, it would be cool if they can embed this in code to act like a spoiler, I mean an image with an abstract (say the 5 firsts lines) that you can click on to open the entire message. By this way we wont have to scroll down over X lines each times we open this thread to see the last answer.

I’m sure there are other possibilities but it can be a nice addition if this forum can handle it.

Peace

I think you’re talking about the [ code ] [ / code ] tags

Or at least, they share the same function as the suggestion you’re popping up :slight_smile:
The code tags are very handy to share (full) script (parts) from a mapper or code stuff from someone
who has difficulties with a certain coding element.

In that way, it saves loads of spaces and you can read the next post in a little breathwind away

For instance, I’ll use the code tags for my post as well to show its neat function
To show off more of it’s awesomeness, I shared a special script part in there that shows its full capacity

Young man, there's no need to feel down.
I said, young man, pick yourself off the ground.
I said, young man, 'cause you're in a new town
There's no need to be unhappy.

Young man, there's a place you can go.
I said, young man, when you're short on your dough.
You can stay there, and I'm sure you will find
Many ways to have a good time.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

They have everything for you men to enjoy,
You can hang out with all the boys ...

You can get yourself cleaned, you can have a good meal,
You can do whatever you feel ...

Young man, are you listening to me?
I said, young man, what do you want to be?
I said, young man, you can make real your dreams.
But you got to know this one thing!

No man does it all by himself.
I said, young man, put your pride on the shelf,
And just go there, to the y.m.c.a.
I'm sure they can help you today.

Young man, I was once in your shoes.
I said, I was down and out with the blues.
I felt no man cared if I were alive.
I felt the whole world was so tight ...

That's when someone came up to me,
And said, young man, take a walk up the street.
There's a place there called the y.m.c.a.
They can start you back on your way.

It's fun to stay at the y-m-c-a.

Young man, young man, get yourself off the ground.

Well the stuff I speak about is the [spoiler][/spoiler] stuff in BBcode, note sure this forum has it tho…

@ Shagileo, yeah this can work, never figured out that the

 stuff was scroll-able, allways thought it was just another tighter square where all was writen, the square is still a bit big IMO but its better than nothing ;) 

@ Darthmob : Thanks it'll be helpfull! But yeah the whole point was to have a much clearer view scrolling down a thread, reading the abstract of the long posts, and just openeing the ones you want to read.

a bit like [this](http://forums.futura-sciences.com/exercices-concours-examens/133255-utilisation-balises-spoiler-spoiler.html) (its in french but click on the rectangle on the first post to see what I mean)

Its not a super big concern anyway! And I'm sure the ones who (vastly) post super long stuffs are the ones who wont know how to embed their dial/code anyway :P

Peace

Vbulletin supports the spoiler tags, it just needs to be activated :slight_smile: (and/or you need a little plugin which can be found on vbulletin website)
