FancyTooltips Plugin

ccf,

All you need to do to get it to match the styling on your site is to edit the supplied CSS file.

@victr I still can not seem to get the hang of your plug in. I understand how it works via alt/title attributes which would be simple to write in edit mode but this wysiwyg interface of wp is driving me nuts!!!!

In the links page there is all kinds of stuff

identity another web address of mine
friendship acquaintance contact friend none
physical met
professional co-worker colleague
geographical co-resident neighbor none
family child kin parent sibling spouse none
romantic muse crush date sweetheart

all i want is to add a simple title attribute.

Dawg,
Are these links you have entered via your LINKS panel in the Admin Panel? If so, just make sure that you have entered a description for each link. If you have a description, then that will be what pops-up for the tool tip.

@ccf: Nucleur Moose is right. You can certainly customize the CSS of the FancyTooltips plugin. It is located in ./fancytooltips/fancytooltips.css . Go ahead and edit the colours and what not how ever you please. If you’re having issues understanding what tags edit what, you can email me with your questions.

@dawg: I you are only looking to add the FancyTooltips to your “Links” in WordPress, than simply add the description of the link (as NuclearMoose stated). BUT, if you want to add titles to any other links, you’ll need to edit the templates of your blog and enter the titles in manually.

OK thanks, I saw the description but I knew that that would add the description below the actual link so I did not think that that was it. I will give it a shot now, not sure about the second way of adding it{you’ll need to edit the templates of your blog and enter the titles in manually.}

After much ado I finally got it worked out! The biggest thing that caused a hassle was the simple description part that I completely ignored as I wanted to write in the attribute myself. I had used this description in the past but it added the description below the link so I was looking for title attribute. I took a look at the php file and figured it out. I do not believe there was mention of making a sub folder in plugins called fancytooltips but this was necessary and this is wher I went wrong as I just uploaded the php file into the plugins and activated it thus having no .js or .css.

It happens to the best of us.

First of all, great plugin…

One thing that I’ve found while using the plugin on my site is that it displays them well in the body but it is not replacing the tooltips in the header…

Here’s my site so you can check it out: https://theamells.net

If you hover over the links in one of the posts, the fancy tooltip is displayed… If you hover over, let’s say, the weather icon on the top right the normal tooltip is displayed…

@blueorder;

Edit the file /wp-content/plugins/fancytooltips/fancytooltips.js and go to line 372.

There you will see comment “/*” and “*/” characters around the line. Remove these comment characters, this will ensure that the “title” tag will get picked up for “img”‘s as well as “alt”.

Regards

Cypher…works like a charm now…thanks…

Note to All: v.1.2.1 of FancyTooltips is out. I suggest you download it.

Is it just me, or is the actual plugin file missing from the .zip? All I see is readme.txt, fancytooltips.css and fancytooltips.js – the same as the .zip for “Regular Script”.

Thanks!

One thing I noticed on 1.5 is that it works correctly in the default theme but in the classic I get the desrciption below the link, in default it is not visable.

I upgraded to V1.2.1 and now it doesn’t work.

Same for me… ??
