Dave2 Member Registered: 12/16/01 Posts: 672 Loc: Bath \|\| Reading, England	Code: ******************************************************************************** * HACK NAME: Spoiler Hack * ******************************************************************************** * DESCRIPTION: Allow people to post spoilers and only people who want to * * see them do * * CREATED BY: Dave2/Dave Wickham <dave@allaboutgames.co.uk> * * DATE: 2002-12-07 * * VERSION: Version 1.0beta1 * * DEMO: http://www.allaboutgames.co.uk/cgi-bin/ultimatebb.cgi * ******************************************************************************** This is different from the one that CTM said he is writing, in that his requires you to select the text, so you can control how many spoilers you see. This uses CSS and JavaScript to hide the text. /me waits to see how many security holes it has Uhh... helps if I post a link Text file Oh yeah, it'll need some modification for 6.3.1 Edited by Dave2 (03/08/07 04:57 PM) Edit Reason: Lessee if anyone notices this edit, 4 and a quarter years later... _________________________ The allaboutgames.co.uk UBB.classic -- Reborn and XHTML'd, 19th May 2002

LK Admin / Code Breaker Registered: 03/24/01 Posts: 7396	Suggestion: maybe make it in Edit Profile and Register Page thus encourage unregistered users to register and registered users don't have to re-enable it every time they clear cookies. Also maybe use Transition to HTTP_REFERER instead of StandardHTML? _________________________ My Hacks Page (will be back with UBB 7!) UBBDev - We put the class into UBB.classic!

Dave2 Member Registered: 12/16/01 Posts: 672 Loc: Bath \|\| Reading, England	1) Enabling spoilers is only likely to be done for a short amount of time, which is why I did it like this. Also it's much easier . 2) How would I do that? Call &transition; or something? _________________________ The allaboutgames.co.uk UBB.classic -- Reborn and XHTML'd, 19th May 2002

2) try something like:

Code:

	my $clean_cgi = quotemeta("$vars_config{CGIURL}/ultimatebb.cgi");
	my $clean_non = quotemeta($ULTIMATEBB); # Accelerator
	if (($in{refer} ne '') && ($in{refer} !~ m/register|age|coppa/i) && ($in{refer} !~ /(logoff|cookies|find_lost|password)$/)
		# Comment out the following line to allow redirects back to anywhere
		&& ($in{refer} =~ /^($clean_cgi|$clean_non)/)
		) {

		# take viewer back to topic
		&set_page_elements;
		&Transition("$ENV{HTTP_REFERER}", "Thanks for enabling/disabling spoiler...", "$ENV{HTTP_REFERER}");
} else { &StandardHTML("Thanks for enabling/disabling spoiler..."); }

It's untested, but should work

Dave2 Member Registered: 12/16/01 Posts: 672 Loc: Bath \|\| Reading, England	Since none have been mentioned, I guess that either: A) There are no obvious security holes for this hack or B) Nobody actually USES the hack (much more likely ) _________________________ The allaboutgames.co.uk UBB.classic -- Reborn and XHTML'd, 19th May 2002

Oblivion Knight Spotlight Runner-Up Registered: 03/27/02 Posts: 422 Loc: England, UK	I'd much rather have a haver spoiler hack that uses UBB Code spoiler tags. Also, if you look at Gaming Update, I have a PM inbox link where you have placed the spoiler cookie button thing, and haven't offered any alternatives. _________________________ - OBK - Gaming Update - <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?s=2&u=Oblivion Knight" alt=" - " /> Results Returned, <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?u=Oblivion Knight&s=1" alt=" - " /> Points Collected & Counting!

Dave2 Member Registered: 12/16/01 Posts: 672 Loc: Bath \|\| Reading, England	Uhh... to post a spoiler you put it in [spoiler][/spoiler] tags... What exactly do you mean by using spoiler tags? o_O Also - for that position - another ? _________________________ The allaboutgames.co.uk UBB.classic -- Reborn and XHTML'd, 19th May 2002

Oblivion Knight Spotlight Runner-Up Registered: 03/27/02 Posts: 422 Loc: England, UK	Oh my bad, I didn't look at the code.. I just saw the screenshot and thought you'd done something else weird.. In that case, would it be possible to remove the whole cookie part of the hack and just make the spoiler tags add something like this ? I know this would pretty much be a totally different version of the hack, but it would be much more user friendly in my opinion.. _________________________ - OBK - Gaming Update - <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?s=2&u=Oblivion Knight" alt=" - " /> Results Returned, <img src="http://www.ubbdev.com/ud/?u=Oblivion Knight&s=1" alt=" - " /> Points Collected & Counting!

Poopy Pants Member Registered: 08/22/01 Posts: 100	I don't want to sound ignorant but what does this hack do? The only 'spoilers' I know of are the big huge ones that the wear on the back of their Hondas.

Dave2 Member Registered: 12/16/01 Posts: 672 Loc: Bath \|\| Reading, England	Mostly for use by game forums, it hides a piece of text unless spoilers are enabled; so people can post things about - for example - the ending of a game without spoiling it for other people. _________________________ The allaboutgames.co.uk UBB.classic -- Reborn and XHTML'd, 19th May 2002

Joe Siegler Member Registered: 03/20/01 Posts: 132 Loc: Garland, TX USA	Has anyone tested this with 6.4 release yet? I tried it this morning, and got "compliation errors" on ultimatebb.cgi when I tried using it with the 6.4 codebase. Was it me fux0ring up the code, or does it need updating for 6.4? _________________________ Joe Siegler Webmaster - 3D Realms Moderator - Infopop UBB Support Forums Join the TiVolution !

Gizmo Wizard Registered: 01/10/00 Posts: 5287 Loc: Portland, OR, USA	Ya know, I wondered about this myself... We where planning on allowing spoilers on our reviews but decided against it due to the lack of the spolier hack... I believe Ian had something like this on his 6.5 board... _________________________ UBB.Dev - Where you too can render your UBB install completely useless...

We're still running a hacked 6.3.0 (and currently attempting to switch it to a CSS-based layout...fun). Probably hacked in more ways than one, too... I wouldn't imagine it's too hard to update, but then again I've not seen the recent UBB code. _________________________ The allaboutgames.co.uk UBB.classic -- Reborn and XHTML'd, 19th May 2002
