Miscellaneous Hacks - Editor Toolbar Tooltips

Overview:

This simple mod allows you to provide more information in the mouseover tooltips of your editor toolbar buttons.



For each button you wish to give more information, enter a separate line in the provided setting containing the BBcode tag name (including the square brackets), a more descriptive name for the tag, and then any addition instructions you wish to include. These 3 data should be separated by the pipe symbol ("|").

Updates:

Version 1.1:

• Admin options processing optimized.
• Javascript function rewritten so onload function does not interfere with other onload events.
• Support added for quick editor.

Compatibility:

Tested and working on VB 4.2.x and should work on all 4.x versions of vBulletin.

Brilliant. Why didn't anyone think of it sooner?

Very smart to make this mod. Before 2 years I have included info in tags where ever it was possible for me. Now with this, is very easy and I will include all others that I did not manage to do.

Questions:
* How can I remove "This is our xxxxx tag."
Which code I must delete from "Add Javascript Function" (I want to delete that line for my use)

* Does this work for other bbcode tags? that they are integrated by default in vb
like as bbcode (# CODE), (Quote) e.t.c. because I did not manage to find how. If it works to them to, I will try more.

Thank you Mark for mod.

Yes, it works for any button whose title already contains the tag name within square brackets, like QUOTE, CODE, HTML, PHP, etc.

Excellent idea. :up:

Stratis, to remove that line, locate the line of code:

tags[n].title += (".\n\nThis is our " + tagdefs[m] + " tag.\n\n" + taginstructs[m]);

And change it to:

tags[n].title += (".\n\n" + taginstructs[m]);

You will still need to define something in the settings that would have been displayed, but using this edit, it will be ignored.
