[jQuery] Re: cluetip question mark loading data

[likestheaction]

Yep, that worked.  I thought showtitle would extract the title out of
my webpage, so i misunderstood.  I've tried a couple other tip
plugins, and this one seems the most robust for custom content, so i'm
glad to get it working!

Thanks,

Hi there,

The problem is that you're using the splitTitle option, which is for  
loading text from the link's title attribute into the clueTip. Remove  
that option and it should work.

[jQuery] Re: cluetip question: is it possible to have tabs inside a cluetip?

[JohnieKarr]

I can't remember the name of it, but there is a tool tip plug-in that
allows the plug-in to be another page.  I can't remember if you can
take your mouse inside the tooltip or not.  I'm sure it can be made to
do so.  I use it at work. so I will get the name of it in the morning
for you and post.

sorry, i overlooked it in the FAQ, "onShow" solves my issues.

[jQuery] Re: cluetip question: is it possible to have tabs inside a cluetip?

[Skurmedel]

I've done some tool tip-related stuff myself recently. I found it
easiest to have an
initially hidden element with absolute positioning somewhere. Using
events I
display the tooltip next to the element using jQuery.offset,
jQuery.height and
jQuery.width.

I found that out shortly after hacking the CSS, and this is the way
I'm doing it now.

Any chance of you looking into the possibilities of smartening up the
configuration as I suggested?
I think I'm gonna solve this issue for my team with a PHP wrapper.

Hi Dylan,

I'm honored that you're using clueTip! :-)

It looks like you came up with a workaround for your issue, but for  
future reference, as of version 0.9.5 you can override defaults  
globally like so:


$.fn.cluetip.defaults.cluetipClass = 'jtip';

Hope that helps.

Can I do something like:

$("a.cluetip").cluetip();
$("a.cluetip2").cluetip({ some:other_option });

I tried, but it doesn't work like this now.
A global style would be a major improvement I think, you shouldn't
have to set the style for every cluetip.

Quick update: I solved it by changing the CSS -- nothing wrong with
that since I don't need the other styles. For people that do, my
original question may still be valid.

Venturing into cluetipe (great stuff), I came across the following.

When you want to use both local and Ajax data, you are required to do
separate calls.

The plugin could be smart enought to handle this.
- if there's a rel attribute, use ajax, else go for title attribute
- if the title attribute contains splitters, split it
- if the first char of the title attribute is a splitter char, hide the title

This would "make me think of" (and make me code) much less calls.

Thanks for the kudo's Karl.  I've always felt obligated (or is that 
obliged) to give back what I myself have received.  In this case is the 
help/mentoring/support the community provides.  So I help out where I can.

I just hope I'm not way off on my postings.. :)  But fully expect to be

Thanks for answering this question, Shawn! I really appreciate the  
time you've taken here and on your blog to help others with some of  
clueTip's features.


Feijó,

Shawn showed you a way to use an element on the same page for the  
tooltip's contents. If you'd like to use the invoking element's title  
attribute (or some other attribute as set by the titleAttribute  
option) for the contents, you need to set the splitTitle option.  
Something like this, for example:


$('h4').cluetip({splitTitle: '|'});

Hover over me.


Hope that helps.

thanks! and glad to hear it.



The problem I was having with a setting of “positionBy: ‘mouse’” is  
that the pop-up image in the ClueTip would overlap the photo in the  
page that is being moused over to trigger the ClueTip.  If I moved  
my mouse fairly quickly over the trigger image too far from the  
right or left, the ClueTip image wouldn’t show.  Using ‘auto’  
places the ClueTip off the trigger image and eliminates that problem.


The only issue I have with the ‘auto’ setting is when only the very  
bottom of the trigger image is showing at the top of the browser  
window, then the ClueTip image doesn’t move down far enough into  
the window.  It remains partly cut off at the top because it will  
only re-position itself downwards only so far, and then no more.   
This is not a big problem, since all I have to do is scroll the  
trigger image down into the page, and then I can see the full  
ClueTip image.  The re-positioning behavior works well on the  
bottom of the browser window.


I think I'll have to see these to be able to fix them. I appreciate  
the description of the problem, and I kind of understand what's going  
on, but I'm helpless sometimes without the visual aids. ;-)


Sorry I don’t have a site for you to view this behavior on.  The  
site is still on my local workstation.  I’ll be putting it onto the  
server for the site owner in the next couple of days and I’ll let  
you know where to view the plug-in at work.


No problem at all. Just let me know when it's available for me to  
poke around with so I can get it working better for you.


It’s a great plug-in and I use it on almost every site I’ve developed.


thanks again. :-)


Oh, and one more thing… the quote issue wasn’t a matter of double  
vs single quotes, it was a matter of “no quote” vs single quotes.   
At first I didn’t have any quotes around auto, which wasn’t  
working.  I noticed that some of the attribute values had quotes,  
so I decided to put the quotes on and make it ‘auto’ and it worked.


Ah ha! That sounds more reasonable. All of the option values that are  
strings must have quotes (though the "keys" don't need them, of  
course). Some of the other options are integers or booleans, which  
don't take quotes. This is true of any object literal in JavaScript.  
Glad there wasn't something really strange going on with single vs.  
double quotes. That would have been freaky.

Hi, Karl.

 

The plug-in is working much better now that you implemented the various 
positioning features.  I
went back to auto to check out the cluetip image behavior and, you're right, 
'auto' works better for
me than 'mouse'.

 

The problem I was having with a setting of "positionBy: 'mouse'" is that the 
pop-up image in the
ClueTip would overlap the photo in the page that is being moused over to 
trigger the ClueTip.  If I
moved my mouse fairly quickly over the trigger image too far from the right or 
left, the ClueTip
image wouldn't show.  Using 'auto' places the ClueTip off the trigger image and 
eliminates that
problem.

 

The only issue I have with the 'auto' setting is when only the very bottom of 
the trigger image is
showing at the top of the browser window, then the ClueTip image doesn't move 
down far enough into
the window.  It remains partly cut off at the top because it will only 
re-position itself downwards
only so far, and then no more.  This is not a big problem, since all I have to 
do is scroll the
trigger image down into the page, and then I can see the full ClueTip image.  
The re-positioning
behavior works well on the bottom of the browser window.

 

Sorry I don't have a site for you to view this behavior on.  The site is still 
on my local
workstation.  I'll be putting it onto the server for the site owner in the next 
couple of days and
I'll let you know where to view the plug-in at work.

 

It's a great plug-in and I use it on almost every site I've developed.

 

Oh, and one more thing. the quote issue wasn't a matter of double vs single 
quotes, it was a matter
of "no quote" vs single quotes.  At first I didn't have any quotes around auto,

Hey Rick,

 

Glad you got something worked out. Actually, I'm surprised that the single vs. 
double quote thing
made a difference. It's a little disconcerting. I'll have to look into that. 
Also, you should have
to do positionBy: 'auto' since that is the default. 

 

I did manage to get clueTip to move to whichever side it fits best 

  _  

. With positionBy: 'auto' it should attempt to display it to the right of the 
invoking element
first; then, if there isn't enough room, to the left; then below; and, finally, 
above. So if it
wasn't working for you, I can only guess that there is a bug somewhere (much to 
my chagrin). 

 

If you run into another problem with it, a test page demonstrating the problem 
would be helpful.
Last time when you provided a link to a page you were working on, it might

Hey, Karl. (or anyone else who might know)
Did you ever get ClueTip coded so that it will
show top, bottom, left, and right, depending on
what direction a ClueTip will best fit the screen?
I just put the latest version on the plug-in
page on a site, and if I scroll the page so that
the ClueTip link is at the top of the page, it still
puts the ClueTip out to the left where part of it
is cut off at the top, instead of at the bottom
where there's plenty of room for it to show.

[jQuery] Re: ClueTip Question...

[Rick Faircloth]

Well... I guess asking a question spawns an answer.
I realized that some of the ClueTip options were
surrounded by single quotes.  When I added those
around the option, positionBy: 'auto', it worked fine.

Actually, positionBy: 'mouse' seems to work best.

Thanks for the good work, Karl!

PS - It's sorta strange for this entire thread to
be a conversation with myself... well, it is 12:02 am...

[jQuery] Re: ClueTip Question...

[Rick Faircloth]

I should have looked a little harder. there it was in "black & white".

So, I did find the info about positioning the ClueTip and decided that
"auto" would probably be what I'm looking for, but when I put
"positionBy: auto" in the ClueTip options, it disabled the ClueTip.
The "hidden div" part of the ClueTip just sits on the page.  When I remove
the positionBy option, all works normally.

I changed that option in the "custom-cluetip.js" file, which has this in it:

$(document).ready(function() {
 
$('a.load-local').cluetip({

local: true,
cluetipClass: 'jtip', 
cursor: 'pointer',
arrows:true,
dropShadow: true,
width: 410

});

});

Suggestions?

Rick

Hey, Karl. (or anyone else who might know)
Did you ever get ClueTip coded so that it will
show top, bottom, left, and right, depending on
what direction a ClueTip will best fit the screen?
I just put the latest version on the plug-in
page on a site, and if I scroll the page so that
the ClueTip link is at the top of the page, it still
puts the ClueTip out to the left where part of it
is cut off at the top, instead of at the bottom
where there's plenty of room for it to show.
