Spoiler shortcut button

[rhn]

Just a simple request. Would it be possible to have a shortcut for the spoiler code added to the "code" and "quote" section of the writing/replying window? You know:

I'm getting really tired of miss spelling it manually all the time
It is really handy when posting multiple images but not wanting to bloat the thread.

Heh never become a programmer if you have issues writing one tag

I'll look into it, I'm not sure how much we can add to the WYSIWYG editor

Heh I sure wont. Not before they make a spell/grammar checker for programming

Dont waste too much time on it. Was just if it was something that could be ticked on somewhere or the like. But it would be handy and probably a great benefit to the forum novices that aren't as familiar with the BB coding.

I've always been curious about that. It seems like something so obvious, yet I rarely see a forum with this button.

I know PHP but I have no idea how the forum system is structured, I could try to do it as well (I'll almost definitely fail though, I'm sure @Jinbobo will agree).

It's not difficult, just problematic since most of the ways to do it in XF 1.2 involve dinking with things you shouldn't be touching without very good reason.

The best thing to do is to wait until XF 1.3 (now in testing) releases and we're on it. One of the headline features in 1.3 is native bbcode management in the suite and includes the "add a button" option. So I'd personally say hold out for now so it doesn't have to be done twice and so the first time it's done it doesn't have unintended side effects. =)

Excellent, that's good enough for me

also FYI you can use the [PLAIN][/PLAIN] tags to make it so that it doesnt use BBCodes (meaning not having to type the tags in code)

Example: [PLAIN][SPOILER][/SPOILER][/PLAIN] will show up as [SPOILER][/SPOILER]
