Brian ,

Thank you for your answer!

On that note, could specific usernames (i.e. admin) be given specific tooltips inputted manually through the plugin? For example, if I wanted the tooltip for the admin account to read "fluffy bunnies" as well as @admin, is that possible (and if so, how)?

It's a great plugin either way, and I'm sorry for all the questions! (I've just recently gotten back into coding/designing/using plugins, so I'm trying to learn it all.)

Thank you again, and thank you in advance for your next reply.

All user links have specific classes associated with them that correspond to their numerical ID found at the end of their profile link.

For example, this selector can be used in the Forum Tooltips plugin to target an admin display name link on any forum:

.user-link.user-1

However, keep in mind that this completely gets rid of the title attribute of their display name so you'll no longer be able to Alt+Click on their name to tag them in a post.

Brian,

You have been so, so helpful! Thank yo so much for this information. I will go play around with this now.

Sorry to bother you again Brian, but on my forum we seem to have a problem with this plugin.

Forum: warriorsweirdos.com

When we mouseover an image that was uploaded with this plugin, it shows a totally different image now?
This issue/problem started yesterday, before yesterday all worked good.

Example here: warriorsweirdos.com/post/5365/thread

Screenshot:



Hope you can help us with fixing this,

Thank you very much in advance.

adm1n0: That was actually a brief problem with the attachment system, not the plugin. If you were to click on the attachment itself and open the image the default way the same thing would have happened.

The image is currently showing properly on my end when hovering over it.

Sorry, the problem is fixed now indeed. I forgot to post it here/remove my post.

Thanks once again for this wonderful plugin!

hey Brian quick question about this plugin for you! i've used it for years and have loved it all along, however i'm wondering if it would be possible to have the tooltip to display as a floating object beside the cursor rather than as an independently floating object by the link itself? this would include removing the triangles... not sure if this is possible, and it's by no means a make-or-break issue for me! just wanted to check! thanks for you time

HI

I put this code at the bottom of the Css sheet but nothing is happening with the images.

Is this the right code so the mouse goes over the image in a post and the image expands larger?



insert code here/* Forum Tooltips */
@ttp_background: #444444;
@ttp_text_color: #ffffff;
@ttp_border_color: @ttp_background;

#tiptip_holder.tip_top #tiptip_arrow { border-top-color: @ttp_border_color !important; }
#tiptip_holder.tip_top #tiptip_arrow_inner { border-top-color: @ttp_background !important; }
#tiptip_holder.tip_bottom #tiptip_arrow { border-bottom-color: @ttp_border_color !important; }
#tiptip_holder.tip_bottom #tiptip_arrow_inner { border-bottom-color: @ttp_background !important; }
#tiptip_holder.tip_left #tiptip_arrow { border-left-color: @ttp_border_color !important; }
#tiptip_holder.tip_left #tiptip_arrow_inner { border-left-color: @ttp_background !important; }
#tiptip_holder.tip_right #tiptip_arrow { border-right-color: @ttp_border_color !important; }
#tiptip_holder.tip_right #tiptip_arrow_inner { border-right-color: @ttp_background !important; }
#tiptip_content { background-color: @ttp_background !important; color: @ttp_text_color !important; border-color: @ttp_border_color !important; }

I would suggest seeking a different plugin for that. All this plugin does is make use of jQuery's built-in tooltip functionality.

No CSS changes are required for the image enlargement to work.

However, the only images this affects are those uploaded as attachments to posts. If you're just embedding images using the [img] tags it's not going to do anything to those.

Hi, thanks for replying.

I am confused and turned all around about this plug in, so I am going to start at the beginning.

I cam here because of this:

support.proboards.com/thread/638222/role-over-images-add-attachment

But you are saying no CSS is required for this to work.


Yet images added as attachments to my board, in post do not work that way, they stay as small attachments, if you click on them another window opens to shows the image larger then you have to click BACK button to go back to the forum page.



I am not sure why it is not working.

Is there no plug in for this? 


Confused.

Confused.

You don't have the Forum Tooltips plugin installed at all on the forum you linked in that post, so naturally none of its functionality is going to be available on your forum.

Can you please guide me to how I can do that?


Thanks!

Go to Plugins > Plugin Library in your forum's admin area.

Search for "forum tooltips" in the search section of the left sidebar.

Once you find the plugin in the list click on the Install button next to it to install it directly to your forum.

In the Settings tab of the plugin ensure that Attachments (images) is checked. If not, click on its checkbox then save the plugin's settings.

Brilliant !

Thank you so much!

It worked like a charm!


And thank you for introducing me to that library and how it works.

Hi there!

I am using The Original Hover Mini-Profile with colors & staff! template by leif aka Aki on my forum. By doing so, the mini-profile is looking amazing! The custom boxes in the mini-profile is coded to show different values from the custom profile fields. However, when you hover over the custom boxes, it shows the value of a different custom profile field as a 'title'.

What I would looove to do, is to target these hover 'titles' with the Forum Tooltips Plugin, but I have tried endless of different CSS Selectors without luck. I'm a complete rookie when it comes to CSS Selectors, so that could be the reason - or perhaps it just ain't possible to do.

Brian Do you think you can help me with this? It would be very much appreciated!
