Hello Wormopolis. Thanks so much for working on the tangent plugin for us! The library link for the plugin appears to be dead though. Is there an updated link that I could find this plugin at?

[Wormopolis]

It apparently hasnt been accepted yet. there is a thread in plugin requests if you want to look for it that should still have the dropbox link in it. the dropbox has a slightly older version though.

here is the thread Wormopolis is talking about, theaberrant if you're going that route =)

Wormopolis, question for you: the keyword(s) area is being outlined by an underline and a side border, as shown HERE. Do you by chance know how to remove that? Perhaps through the CSS?

[Wormopolis]

well I had some default stuff in there to make it show up different on purpose otherwise no one would know there was a tangent waiting to be revealed.

div.message span.tangentLink

will target them though.

I'm not sure the coding to remove that portion, or is it simply unremovable? No worries if it's not something I can edit out, I was just curious if I could =)

[Wormopolis]

its default to the plugin, so you have to override it in the forum CSS

Hey. Love this plugin but I have noticed one bug. When I got to hover over the tag, the tangent that is supposed to pop up shows up very faintly, almost not visible at all. I will have to back away and try to hover again or refresh the page to get it to show up as it should but that doesn't always correct the issue. Now.. I have managed to change to color of the tag and font color inside the tangent. Do you suppose this might have something to do with it?

Thank you for your time!

[Wormopolis]

is it behind the text? what CSS did you use for the plugin?

[The Magpie]

[tangent=[font color="800000"]Content[/font]][font color="800000"]Keyword[/font][/tangent]

That's all I've done.. And I'm not sure what you mean by 'behind the text'.. It could be.. it just looks as though it is showing up too faintly to read, almost like there is an opacity issue, it that make sense.

[Wormopolis]

there could be. I meant the CSS you added to your forum CSS. or are you just using the default CSS?

[The Magpie]

I'm using the default. I uploaded the plugin and left it as is and only changed the colors in post/replies, no where else.

[Wormopolis]

interesting. just checked test forum and its fine there. it might be that its picking up a style from something else.

is there a guest friendly post I can look at?

[The Magpie]

This is the board where I am experiencing the issue.

I also have a testing board where I try my plugins at.. but it may have to do with the fact of Multiple tangents in a single post?
