I haven’t tested Glossy on multisite but I’ve made a note to check it out.

Posted Glossy 2.1 last night, it includes access control options.

Just pushed 2.1.0 – should solve your issue, but let me know if you have any further trouble.

I should shortly (perhaps tonight) be releasing an update that should fix various shortcode issues that crept in the last couple of versions.

In your case, it looks like the capitalized GS is causing the problem; I’ve adjusted the code to look for gs/glossy/glossyindex with a case insensitive search.

Are you asking how to make the tooltip itself bigger when you hover over a Tippy link? There are two ways to do this:

You can modify the stylesheet and change the size specified under .tippy_tip which will apply the change to all your tooltips.

You can also specify the size on a per-tooltip basis. For instance:

[tippy title="Check out this image" height="500" width="300"]<img src="myimg.jpg" />[/tippy]

The values are in pixels, so that would create a tooltip 500px X 300px.

Are you asking how to change where the tooltip appears when using it with an image? In the Tippy options page in the WordPress dashboard, look for the “Tooltip Location” section and change it from “Tooltip positioned under the Tippy link ” to “Tooltip positioned under the mouse pointer”. The first one makes the tooltip appear under the trigger/link – in this case, an image. The second one makes it appear directly under the mouse cursor.

That’s peculiar, I’ll have to check on it.

As for the styling, yes, you can comment it out without issue.

I should soon be putting together version 2 of Glossy. I’ve made a note to include access options.

In the meantime, if you are comfortable editing plugin files, look at plugins/glossy/glossy.admin.php. Two lines toward the top should be:

add_menu_page(‘Manage Entries’, ‘Glossy’, ‘install_plugins’, ‘glossy-settings’, ‘gs_manageEntries’);

add_submenu_page(‘glossy-settings’, ‘Add Entry’, ‘Add Entry’, ‘install_plugins’, ‘glossy-add-entry’, ‘gs_addEntry’);

Replace install_plugins with a capability unique to editors – for instance, this should work:

add_menu_page(‘Manage Entries’, ‘Glossy’, ‘edit_posts’, ‘glossy-settings’, ‘gs_manageEntries’);

add_submenu_page(‘glossy-settings’, ‘Add Entry’, ‘Add Entry’, ‘edit_posts’, ‘glossy-add-entry’, ‘gs_addEntry’);

Sorry about that, as you noticed, Glossy looks for the new version of Tippy and I didn’t think to write in a check in case it was missing. Glad you figured it out, and I’ve updated it to check for that in the future.

If you copy tippy.css from the plugin folder to your theme’s stylesheet, Tippy should automatically load it instead of its own copy.

Sorry about that, about to post a fix for this. The problem occurs when Tippy is not first installed – Glossy requires Tippy and handles it badly when Tippy is not installed.

Posted Tippy 5.0.0 last night, updated to 5.0.1 this morning. The fix for the close link is in there and should be good to go!

Just posted 5.0.1 which should fix the issue.

In addition to the already-existing global setting, I’ve added a new target attribute to 5.0.1 – specify target=”whatever” in the shortcode and it will be set on the tooltip.

Sorry about the trouble with my site, just noticed that myself. Appears to be an issue with the host, looks like they are getting it straightened out.

Thanks for the bug reports, I’ll look into those. I think I see the problem with the close link, which is probably triggering the positioning issue.

Kim,

Did you try setting the link target in the Tippy settings page in your WordPress dashboard? That should let you select whether to open in the same or a new window for all Tippy and header links. I don’t currently have a means of setting the target on a per-tooltip basis, but I’ll look into that.
