Feature?

    On one page, I have 48 small popups which, in theory, could all be open together, with no overlay, so each can be closed individually as the user chooses.

    But at the moment they stack one on top of another so only the topmost is visible. So I have been forced to re-add the overlay and make it that only one popup can be open at a time,

    If there was an option to open every popup in a random place on the screen then we could go back to having a max of 48 popups with no overlay. And is it then possible to have them moveable to clear a bit of text for instance?

    Not to worry if this is all too much work for a niche application of this plugin. Really it is great as it is!

    @milestone – I will add it to our idea board, but you may be correct that it is very niche, like 1 / 50,000 ;).

    To clarify you want it to open and auto position all 48 on the screen at one time without them overlaying on top of eachother at all? Not sure that is doable if they are not tiny.

    Yeah, I think it is more likely that a reader will have 2 or 3 open at a time. 48 will be very extreme! It would be self-limiting as the links will be hidden very soon ??

    The popups are 200x240px and just contain an image with a small caption. Here’s the use-case if you want to take a look and suggest anything… just 11 popups on this page!

    So it wouldn’t really matter if they were overlaid slightly (especially if they were moveable) and auto-arranging isn’t necessary. Just random placement.

    Thinking about it, because each popup is triggered from a link on the page then if they were placed at the position they were called from (plus an offset to top and right, say) then that would do as well and might be a more general use-case.

    @milestone – We could definitely work out something like that using custom triggers and overriding the positioning systems, but not sure I can see that as a normal usage feature.

    That said adding new triggers is simple, overriding the positioning is simple as well, but creating the code used to override the position may be a bit trickier.

    Definitely doable do to how the plugin & JS was all built to be modular and easily overridable.

    @danieliser – that’s fair enough. And I could certainly live without the repositioning on the page.

    If and when it arrives I (and the young artist that requested it) will be very pleasantly surprised!
