Spoiler works again

[Klaus]

I asked around a little in the NodeBB community and found a replacement for our spoiler plugin.

It's not as fancy as the old one (asynchronous loading of the content), so spoiler content may show up in previews, but at least it seems to work.

This is hidden

This is a test whether the spoiler content shows up in the preview.

Yes it does. If you want to prevent that, a workaround would be to add another post after the one you want to hide. Or add at least two lines of non-hidden text before the spoiler.

Nothing happens when I click the Show content button.

Any JavaScript programmers here? I think it wouldn't be too hard to change the spoiler plugin in such a way that the spoiler content is ROT13-encoded (say) and shows only up in mangled form in the preview but is then decoded when pressing on the button. The plugin is only around 50 lines of JavaScript code, see here.

@Klaus Did we ever have a spoiler module that handles the topic list preview correctly? If we can look at the code for that old spoiler module, maybe we can find the snippet that deals with topic list preview and adapt that just snippet to the new spoiler module.

@axtremus The code for the old plugin is here but it is way more complicated and works in a different way. Rather than merely hiding the text, the old plugin doesn't even transmit the hidden text from the server to the browser until the "show" button is clicked (async i/o).
