Thank you!

I don't have those available, that's why I ask these types of questions.

Every browser can view a page's source at the least, and I know based on the fact that I had to do it for our office Mac that you can enable developer tools in Safari.

Thanks, Brian!

Oh, Brian, did you see my question about the buttons?

Nope, I missed that.

It's not possible to highlight multiple elements at once. You'd need to surround them all with a single element and highlight that element instead.

I was wondering because, for some reason, when I did the tooltips for the buttons, it uses the tooltips that are already on the buttons - it doesn't show the tooltips that I put on them. I also rearranged the tooltips in the plugin and, for some reason, when the tour gets to that part, it still starts with the Recent Threads button, when it should start with the My Recent Threads button.

I think I did an update for that locally within the Forum Tooltips plugin, but I didn't add the updated version of the plugin to the library. I added the bit that fixes that to your Forum Tooltips plugin.

As for the buttons after that I just realized that $[user.id] only works in the Landmark URL field, not the selector field. I edited your Virtual Forum Tour plugin to allow it in both of the selector fields.

All of the above should be working now.

Much appreciated, Brian. Thank you so much!

Brian: I'm not sure if this should be posted here or made into a new thread on the Support Board, but this happened as soon as you updated the plugins and I refreshed the page, that's why I'm posting it here.

For some reason, on the right side of the forum, there is a scrollbar. There is also a problem with he buttons on the top of the forum: The My Recent Threads, My Recent Posts, Recent Threads and Participated buttons are highlighted and the tooltips come up (the ones with the plugin - not the inherited ones), but the Recent Posts button is skipped over, for some reason. I've checked in the plugin and it looks to me like all of the buttons are accounted for, but when I save the plugin again (and again), it does the same thing of skipping over the Recent Posts button.

Thanks for any help that you can provide!

[Brian]

Yes, I'm sure that has nothing to do with this mess in your Forum Wrapper.

SPOILER: Click to show

<div id="content" role="main">
    {if $[current_user.is_staff]}
        <div class="container staff-info-container">
            <div class="title-bar"><h2>Attention Staff Members</h2></div>
            <div class="content pad-all cap-bottom">
                <p>Thank you for being the amazing staff that you are. <a href="http://psychic-

                    It's greatly appreciated!</p>

Fixed that. That was happening before I made that change because I remember trying to scroll on the page yesterday and my cursor was stuck in your wrapper.


Your Recent Posts button isn't showing up in the tour because your landmark name is different than the landmark ID you've specified in the tour. One of the words is plural in the ID in your Tour Landmarks tab.

[Alan Vende]

That's coded wrong. What was I thinking? (I don't know.)

Thank you. I will go look at the plural-ness.

[Alan Vende]

It works perfectly now. Thanks so, so much, Brian!

[Alan Vende]

Just to confirm: The first part of the Tour Landmarks page states this: "You can use the $[user.id] variable in the Landmark URL field if you need to get the current user's numerical ID to navigate to pages that are dependent on it being in the URL. For example, specifying the following as your landmark URL would take a user to their own profile page:
/user/$[user.id]"

I'm finding that if I try that with just the Landmark URL, the tour doesn't start on that page. I have to put in the CSS Selector for the profile container itself, correct?

[Brian]

All landmarks require CSS selectors in order to work because the tooltip needs to target an element on the page in order to show.

[Alan Vende]

Thank you!

I think I found a better way to illustrate my point about highlighting the tabs on the profile. Unless it's only able to be done on forums.net.

I went and created a demo on Forums.net for curiosity's sake and found what I assume to be the Virtual Forum Tours plugin on it.

The part of the Promote Engagement Tour where it highlights the Friends tab.

I'm reiterating this because I'm not sure if I did a sufficient job trying to explain it last time. My apologies!

[Brian]

I don't know which previous conversation you're referring to involving profile tabs.

The same methods I've described for other selectors that target specific URLs can be used to target those as well.
