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!

Actually, you need to go into the Unregistered Users group and allow them to view who's online, then it will show for unregistered users.

i'm not sure if this happened to others. but for me, when i hovered over my own username it said "unknown location", as shown in the attached image.

i added this at the top of member_ajax.php and it solved the problem:

PHP Code:

define('LOCATION_BYPASS', 1); 


also, i dont understand why you use another css than vbulletin. that screwed up some colors on my board
i edited ajax-tooltip.css, deleted the whole 'demo' part and left only these:

PHP Code:

/* CSS needed for the script */

#ajax_tooltipObj{
        z-index:1000000;
        text-align:left;
}
#ajax_tooltipObj div{
        position:relative;
}

/* If you don't want the arrow - Just set the width of this div to 1 or something like that and drop the background selectors from the CSS below */

#ajax_tooltipObj .ajax_tooltip_arrow{   /* Left div for the small arrow */
//      background-image:url('../images/arrow.gif');
        width:1px;
        position:absolute;
        left:0px;
        top:0px;
        background-repeat:no-repeat;
        background-position:center left;
        z-index:1000005;
        height:60px;
}

#ajax_tooltipObj .ajax_tooltip_content{
        border:1px solid #000000;       /* Border width */
        left:18px;      /* Same as border thickness */
        top:0px;
        position:absolute;
        width:150px;    /* Width of tooltip content */
        height:250px;   /* Height of tooltip content */
        background-color:#EBEBEB;       /* Background color */
        padding:5px;    /* Space between border and content */
        font-size:0.8em;        /* Font size of content */
        overflow:auto;  /* Hide overflow content */
        z-index:1000001;
} 


and ajax-tooltip-demo.css is completely unneeded imho.
my guess is that you copied the demo parts of the css from the original ajax-tooltip plugin.
but you should remove them for the vbulletin plugin since vb has its own css

How do I get this to show up for mousing over those usernames listed in the "last post" column of the forum index page?
