UserInfo Tooltip 1.0

JazzmanJazzman
edited March 2008 in Vanilla 1.0 Help
Another extension by Jazzman. This one will show a tooltip when you mouseover a user-link on the comments page. Just like gmail's tooltip.

Download: UserInfo Tooltip 1.0

You can easily extend it to fetch account0links on other pages. For example, if you want to enable it on the discussion list, just add 'index.php' to the in_array function in the default.php. I didn't use it there because there are too many account links. People would easily mouseover it and will get annoyed with the tooltip :)

Demo on my website: http://www.jazzman.nl/forum

    Brilliant! Jazzmachine: Can your next add-on be one that populates a new forum with a set of believable but totally randomly generated witty and popular characters and a host of insightful conversations?

    I like hosting it a home, as I can just develop on my windows machine and use samba to connect to a share :) The only thing that's stopping me for developing faster is the refresh of the forum pages... :)

    Hey LookHere... that could be useful. Maybe an extension that auto-creates discussions based on an RSS feed. This way you can download news, and people can add comments to it :)

    Yeah, that does sound useful. Like a newsagg that takes a feed and makes news articles commentable. Not what I meant, but I am a genius, so I claim it ;-)

    Great addon Jazzman, thanks for all your hard work! And that auto-creating a discussion from an RSS feed would be great as well!

    I can't get the tooltip to show up...it's not because I have Friendly URLs, is it?

    great work, jazzman. thanks for another great extension.

    have any idea why the emails wouldn't be showing up on the tooltip? everything else shows fine, just the email is blank on all users ( even the ones that have it enabled ).

    thanks again!

    :)

    Nice work Jazzman. I think I found a little problem though... When I move my cursor while hovering the tooltip reloads constantly. I'f I keep moving my mouse the tool tip will never load.

    video example here

    p.s. I'm using safari I don't know if that makes a difference.

    @phaded: I've developed this extension on my server with Friendly URL's installed

    @a_j: it's an exact copy of the account page (same control). However, users can set an option if they want to show their email address or not.

    @AssProphet: got a fresh windows install, but no Quicktime yet... Gonna install that asap :)

    Yeah, I figured it was... but for some reason it's not displaying the email addy's of the member who have the display enabled, nor is it displaying "n/a" on those who don't. Email field is just blank on all the tooltips.
