Ok i fixed it It was best for me to remove all the code of the pointer so that the pointer was gone. then change left: 18px; to right: 18px; and top from 0px to 15px;

under: #ajax_tooltipObj .ajax_tooltip_content{
in file: ajax-tooltip.css

the file for the arabic made it dodgy because the tooltip was over the names.

Now it would be nice though if it could auto resize based on the profile picture because some people have big pics at my forum well the exact same size as the box and then you get unusable scroll-bars.

for now i just made it bigger myself though.

Anyone test this on vb 3.5.4?

Someone reported that it didn't work. I think there have been too many code revisions in 3.6 for this to be backwards compatible.

No, I reverted the plugin code and it was the same.

Okay, for the forumhome_logged in user, what if you revert back to just this?

I decided to put this on the live forum and so I started from scratch...and...it all works OK now. I don't know why I had the problem on the dev site as it is an exact copy of the live site. Anyway, thanks for the help.

It would be nice to find a way to resolve the issue with the popup disappearing off to the right without reducing the width of the forum as that would break a few other things I have done.

Regards.

I like to ge tthe hack working, can somebody point me in the right direction, I have everything working but I do not know how to do the following:

Create a new template:

Name: member_ajax

Contents:

Styles & Templates > Style Manager > Find Your Style > Dropdown Box > Scroll to the Top > Add New Template

:)

Excelent and perfect instructions :D

Demo: http://www.betisforum.com

Cool, looks good. However it looks like you have the online turned off for guests, when I mouse over I get the access denied page. You can either turn it on or turn off the mouseover for registered users to get it to match up. Also, please don't forget to click install :)

I think the option is under groups to enable to see the forums and should be working now, I click on installed already :D

Actually, you need to go into the Unregistered Users group and allow them to view who's online, then it will show for unregistered users. :)

Thank you I updated now, I forgot I turn that option off.
Thank you again!

this plug in wont work for me, i have 3.6.0. and if you go over the user name with the mouse its all blank, and shows nothing in the profile box... what could be wrong, my forum is at http://boostconcept.com/forum/ :cross-eyed:

Did you add the template?

worked 3.6.0

Awesome!

Thanks Worked 3.6.0

i'm not sure if this happened to others. but for me, when i hovered over my own username it said "unknown location", as shown in the attached image.

i added this at the top of member_ajax.php and it solved the problem:
also, i dont understand why you use another css than vbulletin. that screwed up some colors on my board :)
i edited ajax-tooltip.css, deleted the whole 'demo' part and left only these:

and ajax-tooltip-demo.css is completely unneeded imho.
my guess is that you copied the demo parts of the css from the original ajax-tooltip plugin.
but you should remove them for the vbulletin plugin since vb has its own css ;)

How do I get this to show up for mousing over those usernames listed in the "last post" column of the forum index page?

Nice hack, however, it does some strange things (tested with IE). I've noticed a scrollbar in the user's name if the contents are too long, but you can't scroll - if you try to move your mouse on the scroll box it goes away. Another thing I noticed is while certain pages load, the screen color flashes a different color other than your default style, in this case mine is light blue. Also, if you click on certain links such as "Register", the lower-half of the screen is that light-blue color again.

I get that light blue color as well.
Also have the scrollbar appear if the contents are too long.
Tested with SeaMonkey.

very nice, thanks

edit: i have the same light blue on header and background load page, any fix?

I readed the post of craiovaforum and with few little fixes here it's a little resume. I hope this post can be useful for someone:

• Light blu background fix
  in the header template don't add(or remove if you previous added it) the last line of code, in bold here:
  <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ajax-tooltip-demo.css" media="screen" type="text/css">
  simply add this part of code(without that line):
  
  HTML Code:

  ---

          <script type="text/javascript" src="js/ajax-dynamic-content.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/ajax.js"></script>
        <script type="text/javascript" src="js/ajax-tooltip.js"></script>       
        <link rel="stylesheet" href="css/ajax-tooltip.css" media="screen" type="text/css">

  ---

• Unknown location for my own username fix
  add this line of code at the top of member_ajax.php to solve the problem:
  
  PHP Code:

  ---

  define('LOCATION_BYPASS', 1); 


  ---

• Scrollbars window fix
  Overwrite ALL the ajax-tooltip.css with this code:
  
  PHP Code:

  ---

  /* CSS needed for the script */ 

#ajax_tooltipObj{ 
        z-index:1000000; 
        text-align:left; 
} 
#ajax_tooltipObj div{ 
        position:relative; 
} 

/* If you don't want the arrow - Just set the width of this div to 1 or something like that and drop the background selectors from the CSS below */ 

#ajax_tooltipObj .ajax_tooltip_arrow{   /* Left div for the small arrow */ 
        background-image:url('../images/arrow.gif'); 
        width:20px; 
        position:absolute; 
        left:0px; 
        top:0px; 
        background-repeat:no-repeat; 
        background-position:center left; 
        z-index:1000005; 
        height:60px; 
} 

#ajax_tooltipObj .ajax_tooltip_content{ 
        border:2px solid #317082;  /* Border width */ 
        left:18px;      /* Same as border thickness */ 
        top:0px; 
        position:absolute; 
        width:170px;    /* Width of tooltip content standard: 150*/ 
        height:250px;   /* Height of tooltip content */ 
        background-color:#FFF;       /* Background color */ 
        padding:5px;    /* Space between border and content */ 
        font-size:0.8em;        /* Font size of content */ 
        overflow:auto;  /* Hide overflow content */ 
        z-index:1000001; 
}

I've done all of the above but when I mouse over I just see a 'loading content, please wait' then nothing happens.

www.troc.us/forum

Tried all of the above meaning just the code in the original mod, right? That being the case make sure you have uploaded the .php file and created the template.

yeah, I did both.. the original and the stuff gnappy had in his post. With the original I got a white box with no content, with his I get the please wait message.

I've uploaded the folders to the forum directory and put the .php file in the forum directory, created the custom member_ajax template and edited the logged in and header templates.

*edit*
nm.. template was named ajax_member instead of member_ajax.

Ahh.. okay, glad you got it worked out :) Don't forget the .css stuff:

when I have both of those then I get just the white box? (avatar shows up if they have it though)

You will have to edit the css files, if your text is white that's probably why.

but I'm just using the default files from the zip.. is it pulling some of the info from my forum and some from the zip files?

thank for this hack but i have one problem
my forum language is persian and right to left and i can see good in this ajax
can any bosy help me show picture in the right side no left
thanks

Worked like a charm, thank you!
How do I get this to show up for mousing over those usernames listed in the "last post" column of the forum index page?

Installed! Perfect instructions also! How will this effect server load if you have many online like I do?

I am not sure on a huge site but I think if you leave it off for guests, it will keep it down.

It works, but when the little window opens it is blank, and sometimes with scroll, why?

thx

Eric, where do I stick that NOVIEWFORGUESTS conditional?

Common problems with this, make sure the php file is uploaded and template is created and named correctly. Please read the instructions again to make sure.

In the instructions there is an option, so it's one or the other. For example:
OR to turn off for guests

The image have the same size as the profile, can i show the image smaller?

thx
