[Suggestion] - phpBB® Forum Software - Add "Spoiler BBCode"

Post by tuska »

Hi,

I suggest adding the "Spoiler BBCode" to the phpBB® Forum Software.

Reason:
With the "Spoiler" function it is possible to make forum posts clearer.
This is achieved, for example, by giving longer text contributions a title and showing or hiding the text as required.
Lines of programme code can also be hidden or shown with the spoiler.

Examples:
- Simple Spoiler BBCode
- Search queries in Total Commander using 'Everything'

Code: Select all

[spoiler title=Enumeration]
[list=*]
[*]Text
[*]
[/list]
[/spoiler]
Thanks in advance for checking the suggestion.

I too like the [spoiler] code. And if we're adding phpBB extensions, one that collects Likes / Reactions would also be nifty as I would like to leave an acknowledgement of having read a post without actually replying as such. A Like can serve the context of appreciation, agreement or simple show of quiet engagement (installing the latest update, woohoo!)

I will consider collapsible text and likes.

Thank you for the suggestions.

For now, please consider a simple TOC with headers:

Code: Select all

TOC Example:
[rurl=#download]Download[/rurl]
[rurl=#new]What's New[/rurl]
[rurl=#changes]Changes[/rurl]



[h1=download]Download[/h1]

[rurl=/Everything-1.5.0.1331a.x64-Setup.exe]Everything-1.5.0.1331a.x64-Setup.exe[/rurl]

Thank you!
"TOC with headers" is also interesting for me...

As far as phpbb extensions go, I would like it if topics can be marked as solved.
Example from another phpbb forum (solved topics are marked by a green check-mark):
