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

imported_predatorkill, this isn't designed for an outside link like that, not quite sure if that would work at all with this to be honest.

sduckie2k5, It sounds like you've may have pasted the code twice in the forumhome_loggedinuser template, have a look at that and give it another shot.

Hi ericgtr Thanks for this great hack
I have a question. I have installed Show Spiders on ForumHome and when I mouseover to the spiders in the box the forum home page is showing.
How to fix it? or can I disable the view to spiders?
Thanks

[ericgtr]

@ tigrrra, in your Admin CP go to Styles & Templates > Search in Templates and type in forumhome_loggedinuser.

@ ZeeLex, I don't run that mod but it sounds like it has a URL addition, most likely to the forumhome_loggedinuser template. Have a look at the URL that is modified with this mod and see if you can incorporate it into the one that is there for the spiders. Everything esle is there, just the URL needs to be modified.

ok m8,np it's a great hack anyway!!!

This is untested because I am not running that mod but give it a shot, remember to backup what's there first to be safe. In forumhome_loggedinusers, replace the entire contents (only for those using Amy's spiders on forumhome hack) with this:

<if condition="$loggedin[userid]"><a href="member.php?$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]<else />$loggedin[musername]</if>

Peace

I've added this option, see the first post for instructions.

Does this work for anyone? Ive tried it but doesnt work on memberlist. This hack works fine on 3.6.1 when it comes to the forum home page but doesnt do anything for the whosonline page.

Anyone know how to get this working in the memberlist? and or Threads,Posts and last post etc.
