Got this error

Duplicate entry 'hover_length' for key 1

running 2.0 rc2

I simply cannot get this mod to work. I'm running a test site on www.donstalk.net/messageboard

The site I'm running is using SMF 2.0RC2, using the Core Theme (with changes to the CSS to suit my site). I haven't installed any mods, so this was the very first additional mod that I tried. I get no errors when installing the mod. But there is no new options within the "Posts and Topics" section of my admin, and moving my mouse over any posts produces no preview.

Any ideas?

Reekie_Red

Okay, managed to get it installed by CHMODing my Sources folder to 777 then reinstalling the mod.

Now I can't get anything to display. I've altered the preview characters to 20 characters, but nothing appears. Any help?

Is this similar to NiceTooltips mod?

Thanks a ton.  This one works.   Tired of hearing people complain about this after the update.

the error is caused because you didn't remove the old mod correctly before installing. you can run dropsettings from the modification folder once unzipped.

I just installed it on a SMF 2.0 RC2 forum. It said mod installed successfully and there were no errors in the error log but it doesn't work. I tried it in Firefox and IE 7 but no dice. ??? ???

Well that's really wierd! I even tried Chrome but still no dice. Just so everyone knows, I do understand what it's supposed to do, in fact I have had older versions installed in some of my forums and they worked fine. When I hover over a topic on this one, nothing happens.

Maybe a couple more people could try it and see if it's working for them?

OK I assume you were looking at my http://catfished.com/forum which is still version 1.1.11 and I installed the mod a long time ago so it's probably a very old version.

I cleared the file cache in SMF but it had no effect. I installed your mod in two more test forums (SMF 2.0 RC2) and although it installed successfully in both of them, it doesn't work with any of them.

I'm not knowledgeable about figuring out what file changes should have been made so I'm not going there.

I don't want to offend you but I think you need to check your latest version of this mod for an error. It shouldn't not work in three different forums consecutively. I'll just uninstall and delete all three instances of the mod on the appropriate forums and wait until you get it resolved.

OK snork13, that was it, now it works fine, thank you very much.

On the older version for 1.11 there is no "Length of the message preview on hover" option in posts & topics so I guess it defaults to around 150 characters and works fine right out of the box.

Also, evidently on new installs in 2.0 RC2, it defaults to 0 so it doesn't work right out of the box. At least that's what it did for me on three fresh installs in 2.0 RC2.

Anyway, thanks again for straightening it out. You certainly do go the extra mile to support your mods.

no worries, i set it to zero as default. so it's off until the admin turns on.

how can I get this to work on my Extreme15 theme. It works fine in my default theme but not on the Extreme 15.

Thanks.

you would have to manually apply the mod changes to your custom theme's template files.
