Hello guys,
Someone asked me to write this small mod for him and I decided to release it free for everybody here at vb.org.
If you are running a big board with a lot of forums. Especially someone who are using 2 column for display box in forumhome, you must meet the problems with display forum descriptions. Your layout will be look cleaner and nicer if all the box looks equal together.
This mod remove the default descriptions and only dislay it on mouse-over (similiar to xenforo).
I only use very small jquery and css to display it, then it won't do any effect to your site load.

Installation:
I. Add the following css in your additional.css
.tip {
background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #1D1D1D;
color: #FFFFFF;
display: none;
font-size: 11px;
font-weight: normal;
margin-left: 10px;
padding: 3px 7px;
position: absolute;
width: 300px;
z-index: 1000;
-webkit-border-radius: 3px;
-moz-border-radius: 3px;
border-radius: 3px;
-ms-filter: "progid:DXImageTransform.Microsoft.Alpha(Opacity=80 )";
filter: alpha(opacity=80);
-moz-opacity: 0.8;
-khtml-opacity: 0.8;
opacity: 0.8;
}
II. Add the following code at the bottom of your headinclude template
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4.2/jquery.min.js"></script>
<script type="text/javascript">
$(document).ready(function() {
//Tooltips
$(".tip_trigger").hover(function(){
tip = $(this).find('.tip');
tip.show(); //Show tooltip
}, function() {
tip.hide(); //Hide tooltip
}).mousemove(function(e) {
var tipWidth = tip.width(); //Find width of tooltip
var tipHeight = tip.height(); //Find height of tooltip
//Distance of element from the right edge of viewport
var tipVisX = $(window).width() - (mousex + tipWidth);
//Distance of element from the bottom of viewport
var tipVisY = $(window).height() - (mousey + tipHeight);
if ( tipVisX < 20 ) { //If tooltip exceeds the X coordinate of viewport
mousex = e.pageX - tipWidth - 20;
} if ( tipVisY < 20 ) { //If tooltip exceeds the Y coordinate of viewport
mousey = e.pageY - tipHeight - 20;
}
//Absolute position the tooltip according to mouse position
tip.css({ top: mousey, left: mousex });
});
});
</script>
I'm using google api for jquery but of course, you can download it and reupload it to your site.
III. Open template forumhome_forumbit_level2_post
Find the following code
<h2 class="forumtitle"><a href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}">{vb:raw forum.title}</a></h2>
Change to
<h2 class="forumtitle"><a title="" class="tip_trigger" style="" href="{vb:link forum, {vb:raw forum}}">{vb:raw forum.title}<span class="tip"><vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if></span></a></h2>
Find the following code
<vb:if condition="$show['forumdescription']"><p class="forumdescription">{vb:raw forum.description}</p></vb:if>
Remove it
Pretty simple huh ?
If you using it on your site, please mark as installed (https://vborg.vbsupport.ru/vborg_miscactions.php?do=installhack&threadid=266608) to show your support.
More will come, I promised.
