Forum Home Enhancements - AJAX - Mouseover Profile Preview

What it does:
This script will display profile info when you mouseover their username on the forumhome page, the javascript (ajax) is from http://www.dhtmlgoodies.com/index.ht...t=ajax-tooltip See screenshot or test drive it here by waving your mouse over usernames in the What's Going On box http://www.guitarblast.com/ (currently off for guests, see screenshot below)

Notes&Updates:

• By default this uses it's own CSS located in the CSS folder. To change the background color, edit ajax-tooltip.css and find /* Background color */ and change to your background color.

• There is a space after each username, between the comma's. Currently working on fixing this.

• If the name wraps to the next line, it will not display on mouseover.

• The javascript box will run off the end if the forum width is at 100% for usernames on the edge. (currently working on this)

• [8/13] Added the option to turn off for guests. This is ideal both to save server load and if you have the member list turned off for guess through the admin CP.

• [10/28] Fixed broken page (css display) and included a Product installer.

• [10/28] Now also shows "mousing over members" in the Who's Online page.

• [11/1] Added a delay so it has to be moused over for a small amount of time before it will show. Removed caching and put a timer on it so there will no longer be a need to refresh the page to get the latest on where a user is, it will do it automatically.

• [11/8]
  Added option to make the window stay open so you can click within it or scroll (if scrollbars appear) clicking anywhere outside of it will close it. To do this:
  In the forumhome_loggedinuser find:
  

  $stylevar[dirmark]<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]"onmouseover="ajax_showTooltip('member_ajax.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]',this,true);return false" onmouseout="ajax_hideTooltip()">  $loggedin[musername]</a>$loggedin[invisiblemark]$loggedin[buddymark]

  Replace with:
  

  $stylevar[dirmark]<a href="member.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]"onmouseover="ajax_showTooltip('member_ajax.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$loggedin[userid]',this,true);return false">  $loggedin[musername]</a>$loggedin[invisiblemark]$loggedin[buddymark]

  Open the header template and add this to the very bottom:
  

  <script type="text/javascript"> 
  document.body.onclick = ajax_hideTooltip; 
  </script>

Keep in mind that if you leave this on for guests, you must also allow guests to view member info. Admin CP > Usergroups > Usergroup Manager > Unregistered / Not Logged In [edit] > Can View Member Info (Yes).

Upgrade and fresh install instructions are included in the zip file.


That's it!
Pleas click Install if you use this

Maybe because Im using 3.6.2? And it wouldn't effect 3.6.0?

I'm running 3.6.2 as well

I'm using the code from this post too, don't know if it helps though as I didn't test with & without this code.

Maybe its the ajax-tooltip.css ....

Installed. Wonderful

I noticed it doesn't have its own set of colors. Instead it relies on the color of the Style being used. For example in style "Smart Blue" the text is just not readable at all due to light color.

One more thing is that one can't really use Scroll up or down, because when we try to get into the Ajax Profile window, it disappears.

Any remedy to these?

Thanks

Eric,

Is there anyway that after we roll over a name, that we would be able to click a link inside the TOOLTIP??

Peace

[ericgtr]

By design the popup window has a mouseout state that makes it dissapear. I agree that it would be nice to be able to scroll or enter the box to click a link but on the other side of that it would make it very difficult to move from member to member. Sort of a catch 22.

Yea, I'm having the same small problem with the scroll bar in the box but I love the mod!

Now the updated version is giving an extra line in the Currently Active Users box.

How to delete that extra line?

I am not seeing it in the membr_ajax template (created by the product installer) can you please show me an example?
