Tooltip hover disappears

Hi there, I actually added in the functionality for footnotes to stay open on hover in version 1.0.2. If you check out the 3rd footnote in this post on my site you should be able to hover over the footnote and click the links within it.

So first make sure you’re running version 1.0.2 in your plugin directory. If you are on 1.0.2 and you’re still experiencing the issue, can you supply me with a link to a page where you’re having the issue?

I have noticed you need to go pretty much straight down to the footnote for qTip to keep it open. I’m looking into getting qTip to stay open if you move to the footnote more diagonally.

Ok, I was able to make it work better by including the delay parameter in the qTip jQuery call. I set the delay to 400ms so the tooltip stays open slightly longer, which allows more time for the user to hover directly over the tooltip at which point it will stay open until their cursor leaves the tooltip, or they click your link.

I just pushed this update in version 1.0.3. So if you update you should be good to go. You’ll notice if you go to the same link to my site above, I’ve got the updated plugin in there and it will stay open longer.

You can edit the qTip parameters yourself in the directoty plugins/easy-footnotes/assets/qtip/jquery.qtipcall.js. However, I would not recommend this as anytime you update the plugin you will have to reenter your changes. I am working on building the qTip parameters into the plugin so they can be set from the WP backend, but that’s going to take a lot of testing the different combinations to make sure something doesn’t break.

Let me know if you’ve got any other questions, and if you’re liking the plugin please rate it!

Hope everything is working for you now. I’m going to mark this topic as resolved. Let me know if you have any more questions.
