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

Not at all. I mentioned this for the information of others as it was not documented anywhere. This is a nice mod but the attachments in my posts #16 and #26 make it unusable at the moment. I am hoping there is a some way to fix those issues.

Okay, I've updated the first post with the current issues. I've also added the option to turn it off for guests, this will address the issue where it shows the no permissions message.

[firstrebel]

I have reuploaded all files and done the new template edits but if not logged in I am still getting the popup as in post #26 for members listed in " Total members that have visited the forum today".

I have played with this and can't seem to get a conditional wrapped around the plugin code for the visitors today mod. I will keep playing with it and let you know.

@Derekclarke, I haven't seen that mod yet but once this is installed the code will work anywhere because the includes are in the header. It's just a matter of setting up the URL to work with it.

Update sent. Added option to turn off for guests with Paul's Visitors Today modification.

[y2krazy]

Here is how to optionally add this to Paul's Members who have posted Today modification (note this is only for the 3.6 version)

In the Plugin PHP Code find:

$posttoday .= "href=\"search.php?do=finduser&u=$today[userid]\" title=\"$wrdate\" >";

Replace with:

$posttoday .= "href=\"search.php?do=finduser&u=$today[userid]\"onmouseover=\"ajax_showTooltip('member_ajax.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$today[userid]',this);return false\" onmouseout=\"ajax_hideTooltip()\" title=\"$wrdate\" >";

OR to turn off for guests:

$posttoday .= "href=\"search.php?do=finduser&u=$today[userid]\" title=\"$wrdate\" >";

Replace with:

				if (!is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 1) AND !is_member_of($vbulletin->userinfo, 3)){
				$posttoday .= "href=\"search.php?do=finduser&u=$today[userid]\"onmouseover=\"ajax_showTooltip('member_ajax.php?$session[sessionurl]u=$today[userid]',this);return false\" onmouseout=\"ajax_hideTooltip()\" title=\"$wrdate\" >";
} else { 				
				$posttoday .= "href=\"search.php?do=finduser&u=$today[userid]\" title=\"$wrdate\" >";
}

Ok well it works on www.rebscum.com but i would like to face it the other way so instead of going right next to the name i want it left of the name plus i want to adjust the size of the box a bit

Thanks for the work. I now have a different problem since the update. The popup no longer works on Currently Active Users. There must be anomoly on my site as it works OK on yours.

Hmm.. This only happens after applying the change to Paul's Visitors Today code?
