Add-On Releases - jQt jQuery Suite for vB4

Completely Re-designed modular system, virtually all the code re-written.

Description:
This mod will add jQuery enhancements to various areas of your vBulletin board using the renown jQuery Tools Library.

jQuery Overlays:

• Separate Log-In and Registration Dialogues, Including Human Verify and D.O.B. but NOT required fields.
• OR Log-In / Register Slide-Down
• Log Out Dialogue
• Mark Forums Read Dialogue
• Mini-Stats
• Display Chat/Shout box in slide-down

Tooltips:

• vBAdvanced Recent Threads, including threadstarters avatar.
• Forum Display (threadbits), including threadstarters avatar.(upgraded)
• Postbit / Postbit_legacy, including avatar and post/activity details.
• Forum Home Description
• Search Results page (search_threadbit)

I now use and HIGHLY RECOMMEND TMS (Template Modification System) as it automates the template edits for the default theme and simplifies the edits for custom themes.


This is the first release of this re-designed mod. I have re-written these scripts to be far more compatible with other add-ons, using the <noconflict> method throughout.
I have used a 'modular' environment, meaning that you can select specifically the individual components you want to use. All of the modules are fully configurable from the AdminCP, and many of the style attributes are editable from the templates stylevar dialogue.

UPGRADE: from any previous version to this, v4.0 there is NO UPGRADE PATH, you need to fully remove earlier versions, then follow the instructions for installation. I am very sorry for this inconvenience, but so much has been changed that incorporating upgrading became untenable.

INSTALLATION:
1, Upload all the files/folders in the UPLOAD folder to your forum root.

2, Install the product 'product-jqt_suite-CORE.xml'. This is the only component that is COMPULSORY. This has to be installed for any of the others modules to work!

3, Install any of the other module(s) from the AdminCP, as you would any other product;
jQt Suite Log-In-Register Module
jQt Suite Log-In-Register Slider Module
(you can only use ONE of the above, the first is the overlay)
jQt Suite MarkForumsRead Module
jQt Suite MiniStats Module
jQt Suite Tooltips Module

4, If you have TMS (Template Modification System) installed the template edits have already been done for you.
If not, then manually apply the template edits from the template edit pages found in the Docs folder of the archive.
You only need to apply the template edits for the module(s) that you install.

5, Pop into your AdminCP and configure the product(s)

6, To enable the 'VSa Visitors in Last X Hours' block in the mini-stats you need to have that mod already installed (use the link) then edit the 'VSa - Visitors In Last X Hours' Product thus:
Go to AdminCP/Plugins & Products/Plugin Manager/
and disable the Plugin 'VSa - VILXH - MN'. This transfers the results from the forum home page to the mini-stats block.

TWEAKING TOOLTIP POSITION
For those of you that would like to tweak the position of the tooltips, here is a quote directly from the original jQuery Tools Tooltip documentation describing what the numbers mean.
Edit these positions by opening
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_black_css.js
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_minimal_black_css.js
or
/jqt_suite/jqt_suite_white_css.js
and finding the line(s) 'offset: [-44, 90],'

The offset property fine tunes the tooltip position specified with the position property. For example, the value [10, -20] moves the tooltip position 10px downwards and 20px to the left. The first value modifies the vertical positioning from the top edge of the tooltip and the second value modifies the horizontal positioning from the left edge of the tooltip. Positive values move the tooltip downward and to the right, while negative values move the tooltip upward and to the left.

For those that use vBSEO and have some trouble with guests viewing the tooltips, you can turn OFF the vBSEO option "Remove Thread Preview Text For Guest Visitors" to fix it.

All updates/future releases and support are now only available at jqt-suite.co.uk

lol,.. you better do the right thing !

btw - setup the search result, and it works great. Just gotta make some small changes to work for the blog posts and goups that show up in search results, but that is minor. Will let you know.

Smirkley, this is driving me crazy. I can add conditional to show tooltip to members only, to usergroup(s) etc. I can add a conditional to turn avatar off for a usergroup (i.e. Awaiting Thingy). I cannot seem to find a conditional to show avatar, but NOT trigger tooltip.
Leave it with me, I'll try to find some time in the morning before work encroaches into my life.

Just to clarify, I want the avatar to stay showing, but I want the tooltip to also show for Awaiting Confirmation group, instead of just the script text.

I can pm you a link to see what is going on my site if you like.

Thanks for your efforts.

Yes please

Did you ever figure out the thing with the session cookie?

Also, I wouldn't want to load tooltips for guests as it sounds like it would be very expensive. Is there an option to turn this on/off by usergroup?

Not yet, been too busy at work, sorry.

Not per usergroup, though thats a damn good idea.... added to my todo_soon list.

hello gothi, did you upgrade it to work together with vsa advance registration mod?

I tried this, moved a couple of users to 'Awaiting Confirmation', but what happens in my forums is that their Avatar goes as well, so nothing happens.
What I may try is to give it a 'if is member' conditional in the code itself.
I'll experiment this morning and let you know the results.

For a quick fix, I moved all usergroup members from awaiting to regular member via promotion, which fixed that problem.

But while verifying that was fixed, I noticed it also does it for the banned members too.

I have checked the usergroup settings and cant change anything to fix tthis.

[smirkley]

Just checking back, any solutions for the banned group?

Can I add a conditional to the script so the popup doesnt show in mini profiles if the person is banned?

I'm really sorry, I haven't forgotten. I have taken on far, far too much work this past couple of week, barely got time to sleep.
Will devote all my energies to it this weekend.
