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.

Sexy, Ill install it then if it works on the homepage.

[eNtitY~]

I can't get this to work and I'm pretty sure I'm going everything right. The readme gets hard to understand at time because how its written and layed out.

So for a fresh install should I be changing the member_ajax.php file at all for that edit at the top of the readme?

does it work on 3.6.4?

[yingzhou]

I dont think you must change in the member_ajax.php. No need to do that. Just edit in the template. The Header template. Must Upload all the folder to your Host. Be sure if it all is 755 CHMOD.

There is no need to edit any of the files, just the template. There is also no need to chmod any of these files, what is the error specifically?

[eNtitY~]

I don't get a specific error, it just doensn't work when I drag the mouse over someones username. Does the browsers effect if it would work or not? I tried it on both IE and Firefox so I doubt that could be why.

Did I need to upload the js, rss, and other folder that came with it?

I uploaded those folders to the correct directory.
Uploaded the product
edited the templates.

and it doesn't work, I'm running 3.6.0 currently but I plan on upgrading to 3.6.4 today

Yes, this is from the instructions:

Upload all the following folders/file to your forumroot directory accordingly
/forumroot/css
/forumroot/images/arrow.gif
/forumroot/js
