Topic: MouseOver: topic preview!

[nameless]

Provide a link to the forum with it enabled, please.

it's on test server using loop back. Sorry no url. "Enabled?" Do you mean that I have to "enable" it in the "Admin" section?

[A.M.A]

No .. the code should be placed by modifying MessageIndex.template.php.

So when you hover your mouse around a topic it does not show a tool tip! What browser are you using and could you post the modification that you made.

Hmmm, it didn't work on my test server and I tried it on live and it works. Weird I only have default and Themis theme and I modified the files in both themes. Must be the Windows test server. LOL.

I checked out your site http://sixkillerbunnies.com/forum but I only saw the standard topic previes. Could you please give us a link and perhaps a few words on how you got it working?

Oh bleh. Just insert a variation of the nicetitles javascript (or something similar) inside the head of your index.template.php file, so you can have a multi-line rich preview (including images) dynamically made from links with titles (or if you modify it right, from spans with titles, hehe.)

I already did something similar, a week ago. Perhaps I'll finish it up as a mod.

In MessageIndex.template.php find:

Code: [Select]

', $topic['first_post']['link'];
Replace:

Code: [Select]

<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>';
You must have 1.0 RC1 or higher to do this.

Well, I'm using SMF 1.1 Beta 3 and this Mod worked perfectly...
Thanks...

I try to put this in recent template for 1.3 beta, but it's too difficult. In fact , this sould appear when mouse over new button

Here is the original code :
<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic['id'] . '.from' . $topic['newtime'] . ';topicseen#new"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt[302] . '" border="0" /></a>

Find:

<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic['id'] . '.from' . $topic['newtime'] . ';topicseen#new"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt[302] . '" border="0" /></a>

Replace:

<a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic['id'] . '.from' . $topic['newtime'] . ';topicseen#new" title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif" alt="' . $txt[302] . '" border="0" /></a>

Hi
There is no error but it's not working. I found (one time) the solution :

' . $topic['first_post']['link'] . ' <a href="' . $scripturl . '?topic=' . $topic['id'] . '.from' . $topic['newtime'] . ';topicseen#new" title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '"><img src="' . $settings['images_url'] . '/' . $context['user']['language'] . '/new.gif"  border="0" /></a> <span class="smalltext">' . $topic['pages'] . '

The only probleme is that it shows the firts message of the topic, not the last answer.

Then use last_post instead of first_post.

how did you make it work, i couldnt find the code to be replaced in MessageIndex.template.php
anyone to tell how to make it work with 1.1 beta 3?

[DAB Empire]

Works in the Message Index perfect.  Thanks.

I am unable to get Recent to work though.  How could this be accomplished with the Board Index as well?

I am in 1.0.5, using Themis template, first replaced this code by hand in both the Themis MessageIndex.template and the default theme MessageIndex.template -- I only got the last part of the message in the mouseover.

Then I installed FasterParsecode 1.09 and then Preview Seperator 1.01 via the Package Manager. Nothing changed, I only get last part (last half?) of the message with mouseover. This all is consistant whether I'm using the Themis or the default template. Replied to ModMaker,  was redirected to this topic (again), and have read it 4 times now... am I missing something?
A little embarrassing for setting up a forum to have something half work.

Any advice anyone?
Any more java script links that might be better?

[rosey]

I'm trying to apply this in 1.0.5 to the 'classic' theme and I keep getting a parse error.  I am replacing

Code: [Select]

' . $topic['first_post']['link'] . '

with

Code: [Select]

<span title="', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '">', $topic['first_post']['link'], '</span>'

[Elmacik]

Remove the last apostroph after </span>

[rosey]

thanks!

[kezayah]

It's not in RC1.  I never said this would work properly/well in RC1.

search in messageindex.template.php

Code: [Select]

<a href="', $topic['new_href'], '"><img src="', $settings['images_url'], '/', $context['user']['language'], '/new.gif" alt="', $txt[302], '" border="0" /></a>';

echo 'add after

Code: [Select]

<span class="x-smalltext"><br />', $topic['first_post']['preview'], '</span><br />

[Goudreault]

is there something like this for 1.1 rc1 ?

[Owdy]

Yes, read first post in this topic.

[Goudreault]

How do I adjust how much text is shown for the preview?

[FBI]

Work like a charm on RC2 with SAF template
But only at Internet Explorer & Mozilla, not Opera
Thanks
