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

Silly question really.. do you have Human Verification turned on/configured from your AdminCP?
and is "Display Human Verification?" in the AdminCP/jQt Settings turned on?
Normally if the script is hiccupping there, it will display a blank/empty bordered box.

I am going to play with that concept for awhile, and if I can make it work I will shoot you the code.
Thanks again.

I have it working..... after a fashion.
I am able to get the actual description up in a tooltip, also, in a sexier color the post and thread count. But I'm damned if I can make it display the 'Last Post By' detail. I have tried everything with totally NO success
Still, acorns... etc.

update: I can make it display all that I would like, but only if I generate a new template and do a replacement which is not tenable because of the vast variety of themes/styles.
I will persevere, and let me know if you have any success in this area

This has been addressed in the next release, due out in a couple of days.

Been having a heavy dev session.
Will be issuing an upgrade package in the next couple of days which will include a couple of bug fixes
New features:
Search results tooltip
Forum description tooltip
More functionality to the current threadbit tooltip.
Shout (very quickly) if you can think of any other bits that ought to be added.

Quick question,.. in the legacy postbit tooltip, I noticed that the tooltip pops up on the page, but lays under a posted google video. I rather keep the tooltip positioned where I have it, but is this a bug? or just the way it interacts with an embedded google video?

You can see this if you make a post with lets say just an embedded google video in a post, using legacy postbit. I have my tooltip positioned just to the right of a users avatar.

And Thanks, for the upcoming enhancements!

I have seen that, it's to do with the z-index which I can adjust from my end
