[Plugin: Easy Tooltip] Any chance to hide the quick tags?

Thank you for your remark. I’ve done some research today to see if there was a fix to this, without result. Maybe someday WordPress developers will provide a mechanism to do what you’re asking, but I’m afraid that you point at the limits of WordPress’s current WYSISWYG editor.

We could always try to wrap tooltip content inside a hidden div container (with display:none), but I’m not sure if it’s very recommended, as it is an editable area (all content should be visible to be editable…)

An other idea would be to put the tooltip content in a custom field, or even inside some custom content type (like for Digital Telepathy smart slidedecks).

Nice ToolTip Plugin – 2 Quick Questions…
1. On Firefox 10+ the icon – ie. question mark, “X”, etc… (depending on the type) do not align on the far top left of the hover box like it does on IE and Chrome… its near the middle – and covers part of the text/title – why is that? What I did in the meanwhile is just make a blank info.png but would like a solution if possible.

2. If we have a hover link that is too close to the right – the hover box goes off the screen to the right… anyway to fix that or have the hover pop up in the middle of the screen or detect where its at and if too far to the right – it puts the hover box to the left?

thanks

Here are my 2 Quick Answers.
1. I’ve just made a test with Firefox 8 and 11 under Windows 7 without noting any display problem. What operating system are you under? Maybe there’s an incompatibility issue between the plugin stylesheet and your theme, and you need to finetune it a little bit. Can I also ask you what theme you’re using? To debug the css, I usually inspect faulty HTML elements with Google Chrome Inspector or Firefox Firebug. These tools are very useful to understand what’s taking place under the hood.
2. I’m sure you can customize easy-tooltip.css stylesheet to fix this. Maybe I could give you a hint if I could see your HTML code.

on 1… I am using Windows XP using Firefox 10… my theme is the popular and well used OptimizePress theme…

On 2 – I am using the css file that comes with the plugin… what HTML code do you need to see?

Send me a PM and I can send you a link to the site.

Also – I am using Firefox Firebug… I develop sites often… but the issue #1 item isnt really an error per se… its just an incompatibility problem with the CSS – happens to a lot of plugins/themes due to all the different browsers… firefox being one of the main culprits. I dont running Windows 7 or XP Pro is an issue… after developing about 500 sites – I never seen that being one of the causes. I think its a nuance in the CSS where firefox doesnt use interpret it how its meant to… I cant figure it out though.

and again on issue 2 – where the box wants to go off screen to the left on left side links – that isnt an error or anything – its just a nuance on how the css file but I dont know how to “tell” the system, “Hey if the link is on the right side of the screen – have the tool tip box go to the left. And the code I am using is the standard code that came with the plugin and I dont think the theme’s css would mess with that… the classes and such are different…

thanks for the quick reply by the way.

On 1 : I will have a look to see if we can solve this problem (it will give me the opportunity to discover the OptimizePress theme).

On 2 : OK, I was not any more very in shape yesterday evening, now I understand what you mean. Your issue is caused by the limitations of css stylesheets. I’m afraid that the only way to solve this is by using javascript. Maybe one day I should improve my plugin to add a little more intelligence, but it was not the purpose of this first css only version.
