Board Description Hovers Plugin

[Nickel]

Hi there,

So what I have been experiencing many issues with is the plugin that was designed to allow you to have an image for your board description yet if hovered over text appears for the description. I have tried everything to get it to work as it says to in the original instructions but no luck. The designer/creator of the plugin seems to be gone away for an extended period of time and has not responded to any recent messages on the plugin's support thread. I am not sure what to do and would appreciate any help with this. Is there any other way to have another code work similar to achieve the same effect? Did I screw up something in the plugin installation?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Here is a link to my current site which has the images placed in the code and the plugin enabled with all permissions correct to allow everyone to view it.

Thank you in advance.

Wormopolis may adapt his presto code to board descriptions which would achieve the same effect.

That would be wonderful if he could. -crosses fingers-

As I notice you're using what looks to be the side by side board code in your board, it takes out a piece of code that the Board Description Images plugin requires to work.

For the images to show you actually need: <td class="main clickable"> in your template (that class is what, I believe, makes the whole description cell clickable), which I know isn't in the side-by-side board template, which is why your images aren't showing.

Can it be replaced without altering the way the board looks? Where in the template is the section that would need to have the code?

If you are using the code from this thread:

I -think- you'd be good to set up up in this line I've bolded:

Something like this: asucaregion.proboards.com/ ?

Here's the code:

SPOILER: Click to show

<table role="grid" width="100%">
<tbody>
{foreach $[board]}
{if !$[board.is_redirect]}
{if $[board.odd] == 1}<tr>{/if}
{if $[board.lastIndex] == $[board.index]}<td valign="top" colspan="3" id="$[board.content_id]" class="$[board.content_class] boardtd">{else}
<td width="49%" id="$[board.content_id]" class="$[board.content_class] boardtd" valign="top">{/if}
<div class="board-name">$[board]</div>
<div class="board-last-post"><span>{if $[board.posts] > 0}
{if $[board.last_thread]}$[board.last_thread.recent_link] BY $[board.last_thread.last_post.created_by_user] $[board.last_thread.last_post.date]{/if}{/if}</span></div>
<table width="100%" cellpadding="5px">
<tr>
<td width="70%"><div class="board-description">$[board.description]</div></td>
<td width="15%"><div class="board-post-count" title="POSTS">$[board.posts]</div></td>
<td width="15%"><div class="board-thread-count" title="THREADS">$[board.threads]</div></td>
</tr>
</table>
{if $[board.num_mods]}
<div class="moderators">{foreach $[board.moderator_group]}$[board.moderator_group.comma_before] $[board.moderator_group]{/foreach}{if $[board.moderator]}{if $[board.moderator_group]}, {/if}{/if}
{foreach $[board.moderator]}$[board.moderator]$[board.moderator.comma] {/foreach}</div>
{/if}
{if $[board.sub_board]}
<div class="sub-boards">{foreach $[board.sub_board]}$[board.sub_board] {/foreach}</div>
{/if}
<div class="clear"></div>
</td>{if $[board.odd] == 1}{if $[board.lastIndex] != $[board.index]}<td width="2%">&nbsp;</td>{/if}{/if}
{if $[board.even] == 1}</tr>{/if}
{else}
<tr id="$[board.content_id]" class="$[board.content_class]">
<td class="icon">$[board.icon]</td>
<td class="main clickable redirect last" colspan="4">
<span class="link">$[board]</span><br />
<p class="description">$[board.description]</p>
</td>
</tr>
{/if}
{/foreach}
{if !$[board]}
<tr class="last"><td class="last center" colspan="5">No boards were found.</td></tr>
{/if}
</tbody>
</table>

So instead you'd have:

<td width="70%" class="main clickable"><div class="board-description">$[board.description]</div></td>

I don't use the side by side board set up but I did give it a try on my test board and it looked good.

I will try that out thanks so much <3
