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.

Sorry but I've pulled it from this modification, it's been re-written and the stock version doesn't work with 3.6.0 on my board anymore so I can't test it out. Could very well be because of a mod I have in there too.

After installing then uninstalling this at it's initail release, I have tried this again nad it works great. Thanks for clenaing it up and making it work so well

Not sure if this is possible so I am only requesting it. When clicking on a user who is near the right side of the site, it will cause the site to expand instead of the pop up to show to the left. Is there any way at all to have it respect the confines of the site and not expand it out but instead shift orientation?

As much as I've tried, I have been unable to work that out.

I'm able to see the whole feature work including avatar on the forum pages but on the index(cmps) I only see the info and not the avatar. Can you please tell me how to correct this? Thankyou ~D

Anyway thanks for your answer :classic:

The problem I'm seeing is that every person who installed this hack including me thought this worked as it does here , I as well as other members who have installed this wanted this to work everywhere...homepage, whosonline, member list or when you are looking at forums and mouse over member name at last post...ect.. I for one only get this to work at the bottom of my forum at the Currently Active Users box. And I cant edit user group permissions on this, because it isn't there to edit. I have followed your install instructions to the best of my knowledge. If you can summarize this in one post, so all members who have installed this hack could get this hack working properly, we would all appreciate it.
Thank You on behalf of all members who installed, blind-eddie

how come there is a space between the comma and name
for example

<name> , <name>

is there anyway to get it back to

<name>, <name>

Ugh.. This is an aggravating little bug. It seems the replacement code in the forumhome_logged in users is creating the space before the comma. I have been working with it and can't seem to get it out, I will keep on it and update if I get it fixed. Meanwhile, I will report it in the initial post.
