Miscellaneous Hacks - jQt Suite (jQuery Tools Tooltips & Overlays)

The jQt Suite (jQuery Tools) will add jQuery Tools tooltips and overlays to a areas of your forums.

Updated to Version 2.0
1. Re-written Styling (CSS)
2. Added Tooltips to the Forumdisplay (Descriptions)
3. Added a new (minimalist) theme for it.
4. Re-designed the original themes.
5. Far more compatible
6. Far easier to install/configure.

Tooltips are added to:
Threadbits (Forum Home)
Forumdisplay (Descriptions)
Postbit & Postbit Legacy Avatar (see instructions)
vBAdvanced Recent Threads Module

Overlay's are added to:
Log In and Register Dialogue (Fully functional, with Human Verify and D.O.B. included)
Mark Forums Read
Log Out

DEMO: Visit here for a demo

The Version for vB 4.1.3 is HERE

I have included three (3) styles. The styling can be adapted/altered very easily from the included CSS files.

The Registration component is based heavily on the mod by ry215 'QuickRegister'

This product will currently NOT work with [DBTech] Profile Hover v1.x

In it's simplist form it is very easy to install.
Full installation instructions are included in the zip file.

Installation Instructions:
1. Upload the two folders, 'jqt_suite' and 'img' to your website root.
2. Import the product
3. Perform the small template edits in your 'navbar' template (the edits are found in the 'Main Instructions' which are in the 'Docs' folder of the zip file.)
4. Go to your AdminCP/vBulletin Options/jQuery Suite and configure from there.

I only visit here once a week, so if you're looking for support, please please be patient. Thankyou

To update the installation you need to uninstall the old jQt Suite first I'm afraid.
Then just upload the updated files (overwriting the original ones) and install the new product.

A couple of you have asked me to include the 'Additional Profile Field'.
I experimented with this for almost three days and have come to the conclusion that there are too many variables (how many do I add/adaptation of styling) for it to be possible, There is only so much room on the screen, where do I draw the line.
This won't happen I'm afraid. Sorry.

Not yet I'm afraid. Only 3.7.x to 3.8.x

This is ticky-tack and a bit 'duh' but the uploads should go into the *forum* root, not the *website* root.

Very cool, though. I really look forward to seeing this develop!!

I was trying to cover all my bases in putting it into the website root. That way the file paths will (should) always be found.

Nice job gothic. Thanks.

This is a very nice suite- however I would recommend, for those of us with larger sites or customized templates, to offer a version with manual template edits and all JS moved into files. This also speeds up performance.

I'll keep an eye on this one ^^

I will be including a Doc with all manual template edits, as this is my own preferred method.
I did experiment with having the scripts as files originally, but ran into problems with the tooltips. However I haven't given up, and will further test this possibility.
Thankyou.

You can do the following manual edit to add tooltips to posts/todays posts.
(I will add this to the next release.)

Open your 'threadbits' template, then find:

PHP Code:

    <td class="alt1" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="$thread[preview]"> 


(near the top of the template)
and REPLACE with:

PHP Code:

    <td class="alt1 cornry" id="td_threadtitle_$thread[realthreadid]" title="<b>Started by: $thread[postusername], $thread[lastpostdate] $thread[lastposttime]</b><br /><br />$thread[preview]"> 


Hope that helps.

I have updated the package.
See the first post for detail.

Do you know what is causing the conflict with [DBTech] Profile Hover v1.x?
