Title: css bubbletips
Post by: ameo on March 19, 2008, 04:01:21 PM
Something like this would be cool 2 have in forum:

Bubble Tooltips (http://web-graphics.com/mtarchive/BubbleTooltips.html)

So what do you think guys, could someone do a mod of this?

do you mean like custom BBC?

[bubble="description that would go in bubble, including

new lines, or linebreaks, and [url's=http....]links[/url's]"]word to link to the bubble[/bubble]  ?

well, i could think of 2 other features for it, but the first would be irrating (unless the user had the option to turn it off)

bubble hints, over forum features like little helps.. which would be annoying if you couldnt disable them

or bubble advertising, which is what they are normally used for on websites.. you would set keywords and those keywords would link to ads

It would be OK if you'd like to build it, and make both of these features available.
They could be of use to someone, yet I only think of using them in posts.

And most of all, I'd like you to use this Sweet Titles (http://www.dustindiaz.com/sweet-titles-finalized/)
instead of above example. Basically, it's the same, but sweet titles are, as the name says - sweeter.

You are welcome, Kender. I can always come up with new ideas, but need an expert to make them alive,
because I'm not into coding.

okay, currently its not set up to have a button, but i believe that there is a tutorial on how to do this in one of the other threads

the object of my enhancement was to give the ability with very little actual file modificaiton...

i will see if i can find the thread with the tutorial

this post (http://www.simplemachines.org/community/index.php?topic=50261.msg631131#msg631131) gives the method of adding a BBC tag for a mod, but of cousre you would change the word spoiler to tooltip or linktip, you would need to also creat custom buttons for the display (name the button - tooltip.gif -or- linktip.gif )
